That was fast.

 

[snipes]

Makes sense, he’s NHL ready and not surprising he’ll step right into the NHL this year.

Congratulations Jackets you've finally got your potential 1C to go along with great defense.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

This means Fantilli isn’t going back to Michigan as previously reported.

And an idiot coach. Fantilli should have gone back to Michigan and hoped that Boobcock was gone begore next season.

Lou Lamoriello is shaking his head... "You are doing this wrong. This should've been announced on President's Day 2025. Not before breakfast."

it's okay babe

Would Fantilli be able to play in the AHL? I assume the NCAA is not possible due to his pro contract?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

it's okay babe

Idiot coaches screw up prospects. Bednar, Hynes, Laviolette, Gallant, Doucharm etc. Watch McMichael, Tomasino and Newhook shine under a decent coach,

No I think he would have to go to the major Junior club that owns his rights I think.

Yes

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Do they go baptism by fire approach and put him between Gaudreau/Laine right off the bat? Maybe give them a bunch of o-zone starts and let Jenner's line take the hard matchups when possible.

[Brent Burns]

Congrats CBJ fans. Toward the end of the season his hype decreased a bit, just because of media coverage. He is still the second best player in this draft and could honestly be the best in a few years

 

[Pavels Dog]

A bit long for a guy with no NHL experience but I guess Columbus is confident in him.

 

[Aoko]

Congratulations Jackets you've finally got your potential 1C to go along with great defense.

Potential? Come on he's a lock.

 

[82Ninety42011]

Potential? Come on he's a lock.

Let's hope so

Please tell me this is satire

 

[J1mLahey]

Congrats Jackets fans! Out of curiosity do we know which Junior team owns his rights?

 

[Kevin Musto]

Should go back to college for one more year, but we know Columbus loves rushing prospects. Jarmo also thinks they're a playoff team.

 

[Homesick]

He's my favourite for the Calder if he's the pivot for Gaudreau and Laine

 

[Xoggz22]

Would Fantilli be able to play in the AHL? I assume the NCAA is not possible due to his pro contract?

Yes, AHL would be possible. Only not possible if drafted out of the CHL. Won't matter, of course, as he's nearly a lock to be in Columbus. Good bye Jack Roslovic.

Congrats Jackets fans! Out of curiosity do we know which Junior team owns his rights?

The Columbus Blue Jackets
