Willander and Hughes. I like that

 

[gunnergunther]

Arizona getting benson at 12?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Don't like that Fantilli interview.

Haven’t been able to watch, what was said?

 

[ohcomeonref]

Willander reminds me of Ivan Drago, lol.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Benson in a complete dive now. wonder if Pittsburgh gets him. is he the Zegras of this draft?

 

[SouthernCal]

Haven’t been able to watch, what was said?

The one posted above saying he wants to go to CBJ before the draft. I wonder if our draft team got the vibe or he said something that was a little weird because he wanted to go to CBJ.

 

[gunnergunther]

Haven’t been able to watch, what was said?

He hopes to go to Columbus because they have a bunch of ex wolverines

 

[Mr Rogers]

Haven’t been able to watch, what was said?

preference was CBJ

 

[Son of Gib]

First Johnny hockey shocks the world wanting to go there and now Fantilli? Good for them I guess lol

 

[SouthernCal]

I'd trade a lot to get Benson... including Zellweger (love the guy but he's expendable we need forwards more IMO and have too many small transition/offensive D imo).

Elite prospects has him as a 1st overall type player in a bad draft. I am also high on him he reminds me a lot of Brayden Point (even his skating issues in juniors).

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Bedard was pretty open about wanting Vancouver, it’s not that deep these guys are pros.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Arizona getting benson at 12?

Makes the 6 pick not look as bad if you still get benson at 12

[gunnergunther]

Lol, was hoping to get him with 33

 

[gilfaizon]

i think y


I think youre on to something here, that video of adam saying he had a preference to be a Jacket from May (that somehow just surfaced today.) Wouldve been all I need to know if I was GMPV. ill take the guy that wants to be a duck over the guy that doesn't every day of the week ...twice on sunday.

I wonder when in May this was? Pre lottery? Ducks would have been projected 1 (Bedard) and Jackets 2, so maybe thats where he thought it would make sense to say that.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I mean I feel like Arizona could traded down both times

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Arizona trying to convince the league that all their scouts are in Russia

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

I'm a But fan, good pick

 

[forever1922]

Arizona is a joke. Such a wasteful pick.

This year's draft is thrown off by these weird picks.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Arizona trying to convince the league that all their scouts are in Russia

And yet they skipped michkov

 

[ducks8]

Bedard was pretty open about wanting Vancouver, it’s not that deep these guys are pros.

I can see his opinion, he's from Vancouver. Fantilli wants CBJ due to ex Wolverine players. Different scenarios

 

[I3LI3]

Bleh.

Fantilli wanted the Ducks so bad

ope…

 

[nbducksfan19]

I’m guessing Fantilli wanting Columbus had very little to do with us passing. If we thought he was the better player, we would have taken him.

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

If Verbeek trades up for Barlow i'll love him

 

[Mr Rogers]

ope…

It looked like that when he was picked and i was literally the first one who posted this video in this thread lol.
