“Speed is such an important quality for a player and Adam Fantilli is one of the very best skaters in the draft,” said Button. “That type of speed and pace fits into the NHL perfectly.Button also envisions a scenario where the Ducks could select Russian winger Matvei Michkov in this spot. He notes that Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek was the assistant GM in Tampa Bay when Nikita Kucherov went from second-round pick to league MVP, and that elite scorers like Michkov are always in demand.
At No. 4, Button has Michkov off to San Jose. The 18-year-old had nine goals and 20 points in 27 games in the KHL this season with HK Sochi. The Sharks are in the midst of a rebuild, with the No. 4 pick as their highest selection since drafting defenceman Brad Stuart third overall in 1998. “He’s a top-three defenceman, a right-shot defenceman,” said Button of Willander. “I think he’s robust. He’s got some [Charlie] McAvoy, Rasmus Andersson in him.”
