Player Discussion Leo Carlsson

[Smirnov2Chistov]

This is going to be one of those picks the whole league will be laughing at us for for a long, long time. I literally have zero trust in our GM and scouting any more. We were God awful drafting forwards ever since, but now we are the laughing stock of the hockey world.

Carlsson is a dual-threat that none of our current forwards have the ability of achieving.

 

[ayrton2388]

Meh....

Dunno.

The part we don’t know is if Fantilli wasn’t that high on Anaheim. If he really wanted to be picked by Columbus, it would be foolish to pick him and have him go back to Michigan.

Bummer just because I had my heart set.

I have no issue with the pick though. Everyone talks about Fantilli having the higher ceiling but I always viewed Carlsson as the higher ceiling.

He can easily add 20 lbs and if he improves his skating I think he can easily be a better player.

Obviously I think Fantilli fits in better with the current roster, but we always say draft the BPA not who fits a need.

You specifically brought this specific feeling on yourself with your absurd exaggerations based on incredibly limited exposure to either player. Sorry that I don’t have more faith in you than one of the better drafting NHL teams around these days.

 

[Anarchynate]

Going to look good when we draft Eiserman next to play on his wing

He's friends with Zegras and Drysdale plus he has an endorsement with Chipotle's and even wore an eggplant suit. Guy clearly wanted to go to us.

 

[All Mighty]

He was just interviewed on Ducks stream. I know this doesn't directly relate to his on-ice play, but man I am so impressed by how he speaks, especially given English is his 2nd language and how pronounced of a stutter he has.

Take a breath lol

 

[anezthes]

Nice! Welcome, Leo.

Finally a Leo we all can love.

 

[terranraida]

orwards ever since, but now we are the laughing stock of the hockey world.

relax.

 

[TheStuntman]

Having now jumped off the bridge, like others have said, if this is the pick from the scouting staff and FO, I have a lot of faith in them.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

My dog shares the same name.

Maybe it's a good sign!

Lol I tried to educate you on Carlsson, you just didn’t want to hear it. I see you still have the blinders on. Both are elite prospects.

The Arizona Coyotes still exist.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

I dunno this just feels like an overthink but let’s go Carlsson lol seems like a great guy and great player in his own right

 

[Ducks in a row]

Welcome to the Ducks

 

[nbducksfan19]

I wonder if Silf help sell Carlsson

 

[Dryish]

Carlsson and Zegras about to Harlem Globetrotter every opposing defense into submission for years to come.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I mean I wanted fantilli I won’t lie…. But carlsson is a good consolation award

 

[Arthuros]

I'm a Leo, so I guess I'm okay with it.

Don't disappoint me, Carlsson!

 

[SouthernCal]

 

[Static]

Personally, the most compelling detail about this decision is that it was made weeks ago. I find that pretty interesting.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I'm surprised by the pick of Leo and very happy the Ducks picked Carlsson! I preferred Leo over Fantilli.

Welcome, Leo!

When Verbeek was interviewed right after drafting Carlsson, Verbeek noted that Carlsson playing center well at the WC was the tipping point. For the past two seasons in the SHL, Carlsson has been playing wing. At junior international games, Carlsson played center. Playing with men as a 1C for team, not looking out of place, and having a decent production gave Carlsson more value as he can project as an actual center.

I believe that still belongs to the team playing in a college arena named, the Mullet Arena
