If Anaheim somehow get Fantilli or heaven forbid, Bedard, they may have the best center depth the league has seen in a long time.

 

Bedard

Zegras

McTavish

Gauchier

 

Their 3C may be better than most non-playoff team's top centers.

Fantilli has had a very lackluster performance. However, Anaheim is absolutely filthy with prospects, and with Bedard, they'll be a powerhouse team for years to come.

Powerhouse regular season team. Not built for playoffs.

Lol imagine making an effort for bedard after another lost season.. we are going to be chasing a playoff spot missing out and drafting the 10-15 again. This is worse than teams that actually tanked they have the draft to look forward to we have nothing lol

If we somehow come away with Carlsson we'd have a great 1-2 Swedish punch...might only need a 3-5OA...

Sweden looking like crap until the last 5 minutes where they should have scored about 3 goals against the Finns. 

 

Sandin Pellikka getting so much hype, he's projected to go around mid to late 1st round but I wonder if the Canucks jump all over him if we end up with a mid round pick. Small-ish puck moving RD, like a Swedish Hughes.

Sweden's coaching staff is as bad as the Canucks.  No success from the 1st pp, yet leave them out there for 85% of the pp time.  The second unit has looked better, yet get no time

Yeh they really lack structure out there, very sloppy and just relied on good goaltending the whole tournament. Screams Canucks...

And rather than allocating ice time better or balancing the lines better they keep going back to the same well over and over.

 

Sweden's issues are mainly coaching, imo

Yey JL is one of the better looking players when he gets out there.  It's like they're using him almost exclusively as a defensive player in this tourney.  His line matched up against bedard almost shift for shift 

 

Again, it's been poor coaching from Sweden all tournament 

 

This tourney has made me feel better about both DPetey and JL
