We lucked out, no question!
Fantilli is NHL ready now.
He’s a two-way player that can play now, but if he goes back to Michigan next year…great, he’ll just get more seasoning!
So excited about fantilli coming to cbj he is a excellent fit for what cbj needs
Love the pick I had my fingers crossed he would drop to us
absolutely buzzing. Still waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out on this one lol
