Question for you: both Fantilli and Carlsson are playing in the World Championships, if Fantilli outplays Carlsson, will you change your mind since they are both playing similar competition?
Yes - I will change my mind
A better first step. Carlsson doesn’t play at the same pace in the zone, Fantilli goes at you, Carlsson makes methodical reads. A quicker acceleration is extremely useful in all three zones, but Fantilli will definitely fight more to get the puck back because he can get on top of you using his first few strides better than Carlsson.
You asked for somethin and you got it, hit the haha button lol
This is just hilarious - the top Euro prospect makes ‘methodical’ reads (apparently). I’m looking for a prospect that can see the game intelligently (something I don’t think our forward prospects really have), smart positionally and can be relied on in all situations.
Just because a player is quicker doesn’t necessarily mean they are better.
He has a better shot and projects to score more goals. He has much better acceleration and his overall skating ability is a cut above. He plays more physically than Carlsson and disrupts the defense more with his speed and checking.
I get the physicality aspect - but we are drafting someone who plays with an edge vs someone who has a complete 200 ft game?
My problem with our forwards is that almost none of them are defensively responsible. The ‘prizes’ two-way forward is on the table for you and we’re going to pass him over for someone who will potentially go back to school? We need the help now
