Popular Post ruilin96 Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 If it weren't for COVID, he would've definitely have a NHL job by now. I do believe he will be back in the league sooner rather than later. He really stepped up his game for the team in the playoffs. Best of luck to him and hope he gets back to the NHL soon. 6 1 8 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) I guess we made him an offer he could refuse. Time for our young defensemen to get some bottom 6 sheltered minutes.

Coconuts Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Too bad, I liked Fanta. I imagine he'll get an NHL job next offseason if he performs well. I don't think it'll be here, but someone will take him. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Specter Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Best of luck to Fanta in the KHL - he stepped up for us in the bottom-pairing role during the playoffs. For his style of play, unconventionally, the less noticeable he was, the better the result. Echoing the posters above, he will find his way back into the post-COVID NHL if he picks up where he left off and continues his serviceable play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEGCanuck Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Agree with y'all, Oscar performed well on our playoff run. Maybe there is a chance he could return to the team tnext spring if needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I really liked Fanta... he was the hardest and most consistent hitter on our team next to Motte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 He has been one of my favorite depth dman we've had in years. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That's a bit surprising. Easily an NHL quality depth defenseman. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Was a great depth dman for us and wouldn't be surprised to see him back here after next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show what the flat cap and uncertain financial future is doing to players and teams. Anthony Duclair apparently turned down a good contract from the Sens, acting as his own agent. Not a good decision. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thanks for the hard work, Fanta!! We all saw that in your every shift!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Too bad, he was one of the better D in the playoffs IMO. Hughes - Schmidt Edler - Myers Benn - Rafferty Juolevi hmmm, that 3rd pairing sure looks mediocre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
