Treliving acquired Fantenberg who has no term intentionally because he didn’t want to roadblock Kylington and Valimaki with a player with term. Suggesting Fantenberg was a rental only.
Why did he do this? Because Stone and Prout were RHD and can’t play the left side and because we can’t trust Kylington yet in the playoffs and Valimaki was still in the AHL getting back up to speed after a long injury absence.
