Even if he serves as a 2C that is still better than putting him on the wing.

This is so stupid. Just let him play C and figure it out. We aren’t winning anything this year anyways, let the kid play and gain experience
iamelloyello
Alright, I am officially upset with PV.
The season is over, dude. Let him get experience at center.
WTF?
AlanLGuy
I guess I kind of get it. You aren’t moving Voronkov or Kuraly out of center. Kuraly is your most defensively responsible center, Voronkov is a big boy in front of the ent who has been effective…
Sillinger has been buzzing at center of late… and your choice is basically then to have Jenner or Fantilli play the wing and Jenners net front presence and defensive responsibility probably tip the scales. Fantilli can play make from the wing

Oh great another thing for this sub to endlessly complain about

It’s hard not to hear ”We’re moving Fantilli out of position to fit Boone down the middle” and think anything other than “that’s dumb.”
We know Boone is capable of flexibility. Let him play the left wing.

Jesus fucking christ fire everybody already.
It’s certainly more important to get the tiny advantage we MIGHT get this season with this move than developing our franchise player during a lost season.

Devils advocate — he’s been less noticeable and has 2 points in the last 6 games. Vincent has said that he’s being very vigilant to make sure he doesn’t hit a wall and get fatigued during his rookie year and will find ways to “load manage” if he thinks it’s happening.
I dunno, a bit of a slowdown in the last few games, bottom of stat cards, as much as so many in this fan base seem to think Buccigross knows everything and throw photos of chicken parm at him for approval and attention, maybe he’s wrong and this is just a way for him to have a little less responsibility for a few games.

God this entire franchise needs turned upside down. It’s such a mess.
whatscoochie
hopefully its just very temporary, maybe having less defensive responsibility could help him play freer and build his confidence up higher for a stint.

Vincent acts like an employee who knows he can’t get fired because he is precisely that. Just stupidity following stupidity with this clown.

Fucking *why*
This is the sort of thing that paints a picture that they’re incompetent and have no clue what they’re doing
haz000
Why are people upset about this? Extremely common for a young center to play wing.

Make it make sense

A lost season and you don’t let the kids get reps.
Vincent and upper management keep this team pathetic. It’s crazy how other teams have won cups, rebuilt and gotten back to playoff hockey and we are still hung up on one series win.
What a fucking joke

I’m fine with this. I don’t know how Vincent will do with a non-rookie team, but pretty much everybody has taken big steps this year. I do trust him with development because it seems to be working.
KJ, Jiri, Vronk, Marchenko, Chinny, Adam, Boqy and especially Cole have all taken good steps forward this year.

I don’t see how this too isn’t Elvis’s fault

Yawn. We hear nonstop from media about how Fantilli is starting on the fourth line and we who actually follow the team know that didn’t last until the second period of one game. How long does this LW assignment last?
Fabresque_
What the fuck is the point? Are we trying to win games and make a wildcard spot or something? Surely even Pascal and management realize the season is over, what a stupid, ridiculous decision. Fantilli should’ve remained 1C or at the very minimum 2C. Put Jenner on the 3rd line or put him at wing, he can play there anyways.
God man. This obsession with Jenner 1C is literally going to set us back.

Honestly, on a bottom 5 team why care about who’s playing what as long as those who need ice time get it .

LOL been saying this whole season: this guy has NO IDEA what he is doing. He shouldn’t be allowed to coach Thursday D Beer League! Between the absurd interview on Elvis’ “#1” status, and now this, this guy needs the boot yesterday

Oh fuck off
Wtf are they doing over there?
