Thread: Fantilli is a lock
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JontheDuck</b></div><div>
1. I hope we draft Fantilli and he comes in
2. Zegras needs to be 8 years
3. Troy gets more than this
4. Barbashev gets more than this
5. Boston has no capacity to take on MCGinn
6. Cannot see that kings trade happening
7. Why would Ari do that?
8. Don’t need Varlarmov we have Dostal ready to come in
9. Probably clogging up the defence too much with trades/ UFA when we have such a strong pipeline to come in</div></div>

Just to touch on a few of these:
1) Yes, completely agreed. Wouldn't surprise me to see him play the year with Michigan and sign after they're done though.
5) Absolutely on McGinn. I think he plays out his contract on the 4th line...Verbeek seems to like him.
6) Yeah, Stromer was Verbeek's 1st big signing. Can't see him cutting bait after one season.
8) Not to mention that Varly likely gets $3+
9) Only one that I kind of disagree with. D-pipeline looks really nice today, but I can't see more than 1 making the team out of camp. I'd say going with Clifton and Bortuzzo, not Mikkola (long term) isn't a bad strategy. I'd prefer nothing longer than 2 years on Clifton though. As a long-time Ducks fan, I made be a bit jaded, and I hope for the best from Minty/Zell/Luneau, but it really, really won't surprise me to see 1 or more go bust. I *think* the best plan is to start Minty in the NHL (9 games), and then go from there. Maybe get paid to take a 1 year dump from someone else as well.
