that there was a lot of talk last night

In the end, who was talking about it?

Columbus Blue Jackets notebook: Will Kekalainen attempt trade to move up?

Blue Jackets notes: Kekalainen isn't keen on moving back, but might consider a move up to second overall if Ducks are willing to deal

Yup. This would be the best case scenario for the Ducks. Hope PV can pull it off.

I've been watching video for weeks and I just don't see how Verbeek can pass on Fantilli. Carlsson is going to be great, but Fantilli is so clearly elite and fits into our rebuild so perfectly that I can't look away. All of this nonsense about picking someone else did not come from Verbeek, and I think his silence tells us all we need to know. Fantilli is the pick, and he's going to be incredible for us.

This guy is generally a hack but this makes sense

I just can't see a team picking Smith over Carlsson.

Depending on how it goes, this might be what @Leonardo87 is up to tonight

Also, big prize is tonight, but 7 picks in the top 100. You hit on 2 or 3 of these and we could accelerate this rebuild rather quickly.

First post ever -

Will be ecstatic with Carlsson, over the moon with Fantilli. Stunned with Michkov and it’ll take some time for me to be on board but eventually I’ll get there.

Wondering about Pagnotta’s reporting. I actually think he’s somewhat reputable but it’ll be interesting to see if his belief or tweet is at all backed up in the next few hours

Welcome.

I used to be very skeptical of him but I feel like he may have gotten a few things right over the past year or so. Still definitely not amongst the best.

Take my "Like" and welcome aboard!

Feels like all the hype is that it’s going to be Carlsson. Not as good a skater but probably close to as skilled and smarter. I’d take Fantilli, but Carlsson will be a good player too. They should really take Michkov imo lol

 

[Fantomas]

Fantilli is so clearly elite

Didn't look elite at the WJC nor the WC.

 

[Vaakou]

Please stop reading in to/ make things up in your minds. We have absolutely no idea who PV is picking.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Didn't look elite at the WJC nor the WC.

He didn't play a ton but when he did...

 

[Mr Rogers]

somebody may have posted at some point but Weekes has Fantilli with us as well

 

[Vaakou]

Who did? Excluding Bedard in WJC.

History tells us that the leaks and rumors surrounding the Ducks since PV has been GM has been completely wrong. Who broke the coaching hire before the Ducks announced it? No one. I hope these leaks are wrong too, I want the Ducks to pick Fantili.

This was one sequence, he had his ups an downs.

Who would you prefer we draft at #2 and why?

[FiveHoleTickler]

He did a good job answering those questions without making it obvious who he was.
