Thread: Fantilli Dreamin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markmws</b></div><div>I am not a Sharks fan per say, but I think that when it's all said and done, Fantilli will have had a better career than Bedard (with all respects to Bedard). To me, he's the best in the class. Love his 6'2 size (he'll probably be at least 200 by the time his rookie season starts) and he's already playing against stiff competition. They will both be generational talents, but if it were my team, I'd want Fantilli.

On a side note: that Leo Carlsson looks OUTSTANDING! He'd be my number 3.

Of course, these are just my opinions (please no hate!) :)</div></div>

Cant hate a person for giving their opinion. People on here comparing Bedard to Mcdavid and Fantilli to Eichle are not paying attention to the facts.
both those guys were within 1" and 10 pounds of each-other and so you could base your preference purely on skill.
Bedard is great but 5'9" and 155 pounds while Fantili is almost as good offensively and almost as fast but is 6'3" 195 pounds. and in a sport as physical and violent as hockey 6" and 40 pounds is HUGE. Bedard will be a very good hockey player (I see him being a slightly better version of Gaudreau) but Fantilli will be a powerful physical force while also being very good offensively (like a better bigger Pastrnak) and if a team like the sharks had the option to draft either one they would only have to look at their top 4 offensive prospects (Bordeleau 5'10" 165, Eklund 5'11" 178, Robins 5'8 160, Gushin 5'10" 178) and see a powerful larger C to offset their smaller prospects would be wise.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SJSGM</b></div><div>I'd guess Bonino and Nieto get a 4th/5th. Maybe even a 3rd for Bonino, especially if we retain.
Not too sure for Svechnikov, too early to tell. I've liked how he's looked so far but he was healthy scratched last night. From 1st line to scratched lol.
Reimer should get a 2nd, especially with how he's been playing so far. I feel a lot of playoff teams are struggling with goaltending. At least a 3rd.
Too early to say for Labanc as well. He's been on the 4th line and scratched, but when in the top 9 I think he's been decent. Probably not worth 4.725, but if he gets some more games on the top line/in the top 9 in general, we could see. Probably still negative value atm.</div></div>

think your 100% spot on, Labanc and Simek look better but both wont be dealt till next year IMO, even then we may just have to ride those two deals out.
Bonino i think gts us a 4th with 50% retention
Nieto 5th or 6th
Reimer is a 2nd plus at this point
Svechnikov is an unkown and i would prefer to keep him as a solid bottom 6 depth guy.
Nutivaara sounds like he may not play this year so what a waste of cap there.

I would also expect Lindblom Kunin Barabanov and Meier to garner some interest from other teams, especially Barabanov who just seems to make players better around him with the work he puts in night after night and has a pretty affordable contract.
