Player Discussion Leo Carlsson

Was anyone there what does "introduced via hologram" mean

At this point should we just ask @Hockey Duckie who the Ducks are taking?

 

[Daz28]

I'm thinking comparables would be like Tuch or Thompson? Lanky dangling player?

I think this pick was the correct one for the Ducks.

I am not sure I like the #1 center as an overly Physical (a lot of hitting) presence. Shorter career and better chance at injury. The #2 sure, but not #1. Also not sure how physical Fantilli will be in the NHL, but he sure seems like a good character kid. Was more impressed with the Leo film than the Fantilli film to be honest.

That’s actually a good point

He could easily add 20 lbs and play at 215-220.

Sure it's possible he adds some weight, but sometimes they don't. I mean you're already jumping the gun that he weighs as much as them, and they're taller. Look at Tyler Myers. Play wise, my point was it looks like he plays a similar style to those two I mentioned. I'd be fine with that, because Gaucher is gonna be that center for us.

Good to see Stephens confirm what we’ve all read and known for 2 months now. Solid reporting Eric, solid.

I think he will have to as he is not a burner. He’s got to have a strength advantage like Barkov/Kopitar.

Getzlaf’s first prodigy

Good job espn!!!!

Congrats Ducks fans, I think the Ducks made the best pick. I had Carlsson second all year. His upside is enormous. He thinks the game so perfectly.

I was a little sad you took Leo before my Blue Jackets could, but I'm also happy with Fantilli (we have insider reports that you saved us from Will Smith, which I think would have been a mistake).

 

[Deuce22]

Ducks were horrible at puck possession, constantly stuck in their own zone. I think this pick was made towards continuing to build a roster that can move the puck and keep it in the offensive zone. With the skilled D coming soon and centers that project to be able to enter with skill and maintain, I hope to see less dump and chase and fewer D just playing it off the boards.

How Swede it is. Very excited by this.

This feels like Hampus situation again. The hot takes by the anaheim calling crew back then were hilarious. Freak outs on twitter are terribad.

Well I missed the pick but it looks like we all had some comedy.

Agree there shouldn’t be a total freakout. That being said my disappointment is from not getting Fantilli, not from having Carlsson.

Hideous pick and even worse jersey they revealed

No measured thoughts allowed on internet. Everything must be outrage and controversy and extreme hate or joy. This is literally hampus all over again.

 

[Trojans86]

He seems like a late bloomer physically. Wouldn’t be shocked if he grew another inch and added 20 healthy pounds.

Shouldnt even be that surprised. Hampus was a reach, Carlsson isnt.

He was #2 for half the teams in the league.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Verbeek on ducks stream now. Said it was a hard decision but listening to this i didn't get the sense that it was all that close actually in the end

Carlsson: like his hockey IQ a lot (clearly gave him the edge over Fantilli), thinks can make other players better. comps he mentioned are Kopitar and Rantanen

 

[KaseMeOutside]

My feeling on preferring Fantilli is known but now it's time to get behind Carlsson and hope for the best no use arguing anymore until we atleast start seeing him and Fantilli play some games

Hideous pick and even worse jersey they revealed

Seriously that jersey would be great if they just used the mighty ducks logo

 

[Anaheim4ever]

So that pre-lottery video over a month ago of the Mascot watching a video of Bedard, Fantilli and Carlsson ended up being accurate lol, they got one of the three and the Russian seemingly was never considered lol.
