  1. F'n sucks that he didn't want to go to the Ducks. We could've used a player like him.

  2. Really hard to not root for the guy after seeing all this behind the scenes. Glad the draft worked out well for him. Wish him the best with the Columbus Wolverines.

  3. I like to see small markets land future stars who are truly hope excited to be there, especially in this day & age and I am pulling for this kid and hope he brings CBJ back to playoff contention in the very near future!!!

  4. I wanted him so bad in a Wings sweater. I wanted Yzerman to pull off the trade of the year just to get Fantilli.

  5. You can tell he was holding back tears the entire time & clearly comes from a great family. Biggest thing to me was how Fantilli kept expressing how grateful he was to everyone who helped him get here.

    Of course I know every draft pick says how they're grateful & appreciative, Fantilli appears to really mean it.

  6. He wanted to come to Columbus and we got him. Perfect fit. Can’t wait to see how he does this season!
