F Macklin Celebrini - Boston University Terriers, NCAA (2024 Draft)

[ello]

Yea Id have Celebrini at 2. Maybe its recency bias a little bit, but he's more dynamic than either of the other 2 IMO. Its close either way and sort of apples to oranges

 

[Juxtaposer]

I’m sure this debate has been had a million times but if he was in last years draft, would he go above Carlsson and/or Fantilli?

Personally, I prefer Celebrini by a hair. I do think that Carlsson and Fantilli could potentially score more, but I think Celebrini will be the best of the three. I wouldn’t blame anyone for preferring the other two though, it’s really that close.

Fantilli and Carlsson would go before Celebrini because of their size. All of them are having/had historic seasons so size would likely be the differentiator

Celebrini would definitely go ahead of Fantilli. I’m not as familiar with Carlsson’s pre-draft profile but I assume Celebrini would go ahead of him too.

I don’t think so.

Somewhat similar to Carlsson vs Fantilli it would not be obvious. I think there would be teams that had Celebrini 2nd, some 3rd, and some 4th. We had a thread on this earlier in the year.

Celebrini is more composed and polished, a very solid cerebral center, and is 8 months younger than Fantilli.

Fantilli is bigger, faster, and has a better shot.

Carlsson is the best playmaker and has the biggest frame, the most room for growth in my opinion.

Small correction; Celebrini is 20 months younger than Fantilli

The hypothetical is if he was in the 2023 draft so I'm going to just slide him up a year for those purposes. You are technically correct though.

Quite confident Celebrini would go ahead of both.

Ahh gotcha, I missed that

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think he’d go ahead of both. Ahead of Fantilli due to hockey sense and ahead of Carlsson because he’s NA.

 

[SimpleJack]

He’s coming to Chicago to pair up with Bedard, it’s inevitable. The league will make it so.

I just have a feeling that won’t be the case. I think he’ll end up in San Jose, Anaheim, or Columbus.

As of today, it's a 34.5% chance you're right and a 25.5% chance the other guy is right.

Never discount Arizona, Gary needs a smoking gun to keep them alive

 

[WeThreeKings]

I'd have Bedard-Carlsson-Celebrini

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Welcome to Chicago, son!

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Celebrini in San Jose just sounds/feels right to me. And I'm all for it

Never discount Arizona, Gary needs a smoking gun to keep them alive

YES, help the homeless get back on their skates!

 

[Blue Chip Prospect]

Hey ! I thought maybe you guys would like more of those.

 

[montreal]

all 3 of his pts from tonight are in the vid.

Always felt that Celebrini was vastly underrated by almost everyone including in the scouting community. At the start of the year I figured that he would be a ppg player as a 17 year old in the NCAA and that would give him a better than 50% chance of being the number one pick in the 24 draft.
I never imagined that as a 17 year old (and this cannot be stressed enough), he would be challenging for the scoring title (both in goals and ppg) against players several years older than himself.

He is such a complete player and has no weakesses. In the past 10 drafts, only McDavid, Mathews and Bedard would have gone ahead of him.

 

[ItWasJustified]

Celebrini would definitely go ahead of Fantilli. I’m not as familiar with Carlsson’s pre-draft profile but I assume Celebrini would go ahead of him too.

Celebrini plays in college. Carlsson played in the 3rd best league in the world. The SHL team Carlsson played for would annihilate every single college team in a game.
