GDT: NHL Draft 2023 | 4:00 PT | ESPN, SN, TVAS

[Mr Rogers]

Straight out of Yzerman's playbook

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Yeah miss me with that Detroit bullshit. Verbeek seems to put no value on toughness whatsoever

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

Columbus gotta be so happy wow

 

[Anarchynate]

I mean we did fix Zs shot…

 

[KyleJRM]

lolololol i'm amused. I would have been happy with either one, but the cult-like certainy that many fans developed that Fantilli>>>Carlsson never seemed to be based on anything that happened on the ice.

 

[Terry Yake]

hilarious seeing so many of you cry about this when the entire goal of tanking was to guarantee one of fantilli or carlsson

i think our scouts have done more than enough for us to trust their decision making

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Trade up now

 

[Kalv]

Not upset. A little let down given how much I liked Fanta. But Carlsson is a great pick.

Same. Plus, I want to hear a great reasoning for what we say why we picked him. Not just quarter inch of length and WC performance, that'd be lame.
Kid is huge and will get bigger. Amazing brain and hands, he will be good. But yeah, I hyped myself up to Fantilli too much

 

[Gliff]

God I am so scared.

 

[MMC]

Kaplan interviewing PV now

 

[Fighter]

I'm unhappy. Sorry Leo. I wanted Fantilli. Feel like we screwed.

 

[MMC]

Says in the end was really intrigued by high hockey IQ, size, and two way game

 

[2faded]

Well I haven't paid enough attention to have an opinion. Welcome Carlsson from Marlboro SHL!

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Cya robbieduck

You'll be missed

 

[KyleJRM]

I mean we did fix Zs shot…

The idea that Carlsson can't score is way overblown. He's slightly more of a playmaker than Fantilli and Fantilli is slightly more of a goal-scoring profile, but they're both very good at both.

Carlsson and Fantilli have played in three major international tournaments together the last few years, and Carlsson scored more goals in all three.

 

[DavidBL]

Yeah miss me with that Detroit bullshit. Verbeek seems to put no value on toughness whatsoever

At this point I think he honestly thinks toughness is teachable.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Most air time we have gotten in a draft ever

Yeah, but then we got #2 in the lottery. Carlsson at 3rd would have been fine.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Not to go all Dirk but is the little ball of hate anti physicality?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Fantilli going to San Jose huh

 

[Rasp]

IQ, creativity and size is what Verbeek wanted

 

[Duck Off]

Taking Carlsson is fine but you trade down if you go that route. I am beyond pissed right now

 

[190Octane]

Remember when everyone hated the last high first round Swedish pick we had?

 

[AngelDuck]

I swear to god if Fantilli goes to SJ...

 

[KelVarnsen]

Taking Carlsson is fine but you trade down if you go that route. I am beyond pissed right now

Exactly.
