Yesterday was the 2023 NHL Draft, and if your Ducks fan things didn’t go as expected to say the least. The Anaheim Ducks shocked everyone by passing Adam Fantilli at #2 for Leo Carlsson. On top of that they revealed their 30th Anniversary jersey, could have almost been perfection…I give my thoughts on why Leo Carlsson is still a great pick, and the new Ducks jersey in this video.

I like the new 30th anniversary Jersey I have the 25th anniversary Jersey but its about time the secondary logo gets some love
i'm stoked about us getting Carlsson. can't wait to see how this all comes together
After years of Eakins hockey the fans wanted something to be excited about, and we were led to believe that Fantilli with his hair on fire, running people over and showing some "snarl" was it! Nothing against Leo but a soft spoke Swede (again) goin back to Sweden then to the AHL to learn the NA game/ice is clearly not ready for NHL, not what was expected from the number 2 pick. I am sure he will be a fine Duck, probably our best player, but now we are back picking in top 5 and still goin to be a soft team. The Coyotes will probably have a building before Ducks sniff the playoffs again. And the jersey is horrible, again.
The copium is amazing, we went from “Bedard or bust because Bedard is by far the best player in the draft at #1 and it’s not close”, to “Fantilli is JUST as good as Bedard AND Fantilli is the best fit for our team” which he’s not as good as Bedard, to “don’t disrespect us TSN for talking about our living destination” meanwhile Fantilli cared about his living destination, to “Leo is JUST as good as Fantilli” which hes closer to Fantilli then Fantilli is to Bedard but still there’s a gap. It’s just so funny.
Great video! 👍
Fantilli probably would have gone back to Michigan and then not signed with the Ducks. Remember Justin Schultz 2008?
Leo is great and the Jersey is great!
Anaheim ducks has a new logo in 2023-2024 😱 I am going to wear it at the first game of Anaheim ducks 2023
-2024
May not be fantilli but I think he’ll still be a great player 🙂 go ducks 🦆🦆🦆
This reminds me a lot of the 2013 draft when Florida picked Alex Barkov #2. He was the consensus #4 pick and Panthers fans were PISSED that they passed on Jones and Drouin.. and look how that turned out
I want the fans to keep that same energy when Leo is flourishing in the league lmao we tanked n got a promising player who fits our team and has looked exceptional playing professionally as a teenager what else do y’all want ?
Maybe fix your audio so your mic isnt just coming out of left? Unlistenable
CBJ fans cheering when the Ducks passed on Fantilli is gonna be really funny in a few years when Carlsson becomes Barkov and Fantilli is just another Saad. Mark it down
If I have to be honest, I think what really to set Fantilli and Carlsson apart was the fact that Fantilli had said he wanted to be drafted by Columbus. Now I’m not gonna say that was the sole reason because who knows what was said at the interview but there’s a reason why we didn’t choose fantilli. I’m still ecstatic about the choice we made. Carlson has been playing in a men’s league for the last couple years which unlike most every other prospect in the draft other than Michkov they’ve all either played college or junior. So while yes I originally wanted Fantilli. I’m still happy with the choice that we got. And unlike all the sore fans, I welcome Leo Carlson to the Anaheim Ducks and wish him nothing but success
Hehe, I was thinking of this channel after you guys didn't get the guy you were expecting to.
good point though, these guys are all great. Great choice
I was happy with our draft
My god. I need that Zebras bobblehead! haha
Nothing more true could have been said about the jersey, give the people what they want
Yup i wasn't too thrilled at first ,, but over last night and this morning i watched every game he was in at the worlds and wow! for his age he plays like a 10yr all star vet , so silky smooth and you can see that high IQ with the decisions he makes ….. Also at first just by going by his YT highlights i thought he'll just be a great winger because of his high IQ and passing ability ,, but after watching the worlds games in full i think with good amount of practice with his shot accuracy i have no doubt he could be a great center (a lot better than Zegras who should move to the wing imo) …. Can only hope we get to see him in 3 – 5 games at end of next year and then in 2025 we get to see him in 1/3 of the games and full go in 2026
I feel like this pick is going to age like milk, a player with great puck possession, physicality and scoring ability is what we were missing, can't make sense of this pick. Should've traded down if they wanted him, CBJ was even willing to do it

I think as Ducks Fans we had Fantilli shaded sunglasses on too tight, and completely forgot how insanely talented Carlsson is and how well documented it was last year. After initial confusion and uncertainty, i think my thought is conpletely rewired. Im hyped and excited for Carlsson. Seems like he has the right attitude, i like his hockey awareness, what hes managed to bring to the SHL thus far, and how much more hes going to improve on. LETS GO!!!
ALSO, again, i was confused if i liked the 30th jersey on initial sight…now i love it. There are 3 jerseys this gen that have the old school logo, and i would much prefer the next jersey i own with it to be their main home and away uniforms. Gotta love the ducks for always being unorthodox at this point lol 😅
Fantili also said in May he wanted to go to CBJ.
The cope is crazy
Bedard smartest hockey IQ player in the draft not Leo but I love Leo
This was a really good video! Couldn't agree more with all your sentiments!
no need to justify the pick. everyone who’s not a chicago fan is mad because their pick not bedard
If you want a slow non goal scoring 2C you just got him. The CBJ and SJS franchises thank you very much
I think the best comparison is the ducks chose Patrik Laine over Jack Eichel. Patrik Laine isn’t bad at all but he’s no Jack Eichel.
