I get the ducks pick - When I read about fantilli and how they describe his game. How he bullies his way into the center of the ice, I wonder how well that translates to the NHL level.
3 Middle six players and 2nd rounder for a 2C - I think the overpay is with Kupari , but seems he had a rough 1st year anyway.
Vilardi and Iafallo bring better defense than PLD though.
What I think will happen -
Draft Willander RD - Just reading between the lines of Formenton/Adams interview few days ago.
Or they use the pick to trade for karlsson 🙂
UFA goalie Raanta/Andersson or Gibson trade.
He probably could have gotten a long term deal somewhere else. From a hockey perspective I would have signed him over Okposo.
Sentimental value is there for us fans to have him back and its some true buffalo love if he prefers a 1 year deal over longer term elsewhere.
