The current top 11 goal scorers and their draft position.

Bedard 1st
MacKinnon 1st
Celebrini 1st
Carlsson 2nd
Eichel 2nd
McDavid 1st
Kaprisov 135th
Rantanen 10th
Nylander 8th
Malkin 1st
Crosby 1st

I don’t know what Fantilli’s major malfunction is right now, is it Lafreniere disease? I don’t know, but I’d be hard pressed picking him over Carlsson.

[Carl Yagro]

Are you saying Fantilli is already pasta his prime-avera?

Too early for adjustments, Chef. Let 'em cook.

[donlever]

Yeah...I still think Fantilli will be fine but, as I said the other day here, Leo could be Mats Sundin once all is said and done.

Be nice if they finished their careers in the same place....



Also will be interesting to see how he and Bedard level out at career end.

That's quite possible but they're both in only their 4th year in the league. They've pretty much been neck and neck starting out of the gates so far.

The difference is Anaheim is further ahead in the rebuild and looks to have arrived as an up and coming team (not sure CBJ even knows what a rebuild is). A solid stable, organization is always better for a young player.

But I haven't watched both of them closely to say Carlsson isn't the superior player.

[UWSaint]

I don’t know what Fantilli’s major malfunction is right now, is it Lafreniere disease? I don’t know, but I’d be hard pressed picking him over Carlsson.

Huh? He had 31 goals as a 20 year old. He has only two this year, but he's shooting @ 6%, less than half of his career average. Small sample size, not gonna last. He looks fine out there.

Carlsson might turn out better and I bet some had him as a better pick that year. And the Stars should have taken Makar and got only Heiskanen....

[donlever]

Berard is in stud atmosphere now UW.

And Lafreniere is droll as fuck.

Dude has to lambast someone.

So Adam it is.....

....adjustments.



I think Fantilli will be just fine Chef.

[Chef Boi RD]

I think Fantilli will be just fine Chef.

His lameness thus season is a sign of poor character. Chef don’t like it. Carlsson has superstar written all over him.

Thank you. I've never seen a 60 year old man have such a roller coaster of emotions regarding players from other teams.

Fantilli needs a little hot snap and he's right back on track.

Calrlsson WAS picked ahead of Fantilli.

… where is the goalpost adjusting going to land on the Bedard comment?

Looking for the Vegas odds, please.

He reminds me of Pyle from Full Metal Jacket right now.

[donlever]

He's had a slow start yes...

Like Bedard, he will come around.

Saw an interesting comparable the other day.

Bedards first 2 season (based on their initial 162 games) stats mirror Patty Kanes near to a T.

Kane 46G 96A 8GWG 142P

Bedard 51G 92A 8GWG 143P
