Confirmed with Link: Oscar Fantenberg to Flames for cnd. 4th Round Pick in 2020

[Ace Rimmer]

I know nothing about this man.

From elite prospects:

Fantenberg is a defenseman with a good all-around game and two-way ability. Rarely caught out of position defensively, he can also shoot the puck pretty well. Is very good one on one against opponents and plays the body on a regular basis. Is an agile skater, but could improve his speed.
- Erik K. Piri, EP (2015)

Per Fan960 - it's a 3rd round pick if we reach conference finals and he plays in 50% of the games.

How many games does he play? Over/under 5.5

Under

 

[JurassicTunga]

Gio - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson
Fantenberg, Prout, Valimaki, Stone

Seems a bit overkill?

edit: Forgot Stone too. lol

 

[Corpus X]

If he skates well we could call him Fanta because of his sweet flow.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Pick is conditional but no information so far on what the conditions are

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Over.

Gotta get him used to the new system in case he needs regular deployment in April

 

[InfinityIggy]

Terrible. Waste of an asset.

[Janks]

Gio - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson
Fantenberg, Prout, Valimaki

Seems a bit overkill?

Do you really want Prout playing in the playoffs? I’d rather have a pairing of Vali and Fantenberg than Prout out there

 

[Janks]

I like this as a depth pickup. Is better than Prout. Now we have our vet LHD, let's grab stone for a 1st and Phillips

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

We were deep before and now we're deeper.

Can't complain, cost is virtually nothing.

 

[Mobiandi]

Whatever happened to that Hogstrom guy in the Heat?

 

[FlamerForLife]

 

[Potty John]

I dislike spending a 4th on a guy we don’t need. But I’d be more comfortable with him playing meaningful games than Prout.

[Calculon]

Overpayment if only because the Flames' drafting in the latter rounds has been tremendous in recent years.

 

[joescores]

Let's welcome this dude in Calgary.

Some highlights







Fantenberg(2) - ASST: Pearson(14), Toffoli(9) - Streamable

Fantenberg(1) - ASST: Brown(9), Laich(1) - Streamable

Toffoli(6)-ASST Fantenberg(1), Carter(10) - Streamable

 

[Mobiandi]

A 4th for muh playoff experience in a sweep is an overpayment. We have Valiev and Taormina at the Heat who could've been called up in a pinch

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Nice addition, nothing wrong with some depth on D to try to insulate the young guys.

Was really hoping Stone would end up in Calgary.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Terrific use of an asset.

Those guys aren't NHLers.
According to LA fans, who actually watch the guy; he's been a solid defender for them. They were bummed out that he was the one who left versus guys like Forbort and Neon.

He apparently even played in the top 4 when they needed it and looked fine.

That's a far cry for Valiev and Taormina.

I went to the Kings board and they weren't all that sad to see him go. Just a routine #7

you have been banned @hfboards.

You should go back, because that's what I did too.
There were three types of comments:

"Welp, we got something for nothing, we weren't keeping him anyway.'
'Please be Forbort/Phaneuf'
'Fanta has been a bright spot on the depth D here'

 

[viper0220]

If he skates well we could call him Fanta because he flows.

I like Fats better, it has a mafia like ring to it.

Is he going to the AHL?

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Dancing Scorch is gonna look amazing with this

 

[Bounces R Way]

Depth on depth on depth.

Really unremarkable player. Maybe he gets into some games if we play a bigger team in the 1st round. More or less insurance if Kylington or Valimaki struggle, which I guess is possible but I think they're both better than Fantenberg at this point.
