[Trade] Flames have acquired D Oscar Fantenberg from the Kings for a conditional 2020 4th

[JurassicTunga12]

I have zero clue about Fantenberg.

[Hockeyguy15]

I know nothing about Fantanberg

[devo22]

good, I like Fantenberg. Solid depth and shouldn't cost a lot.

For about 30 seconds until the nostalgia wears off

Sounds like the @NHLFlames may be adding Fantanberg as a depth d. We will know asap. @NHLNetwork Was talked about earlier this week.

Is this the real life?
Is this just Fantanberg?

3 points if it's Fantenberg. That's definitely digging deep.

If Fantanberg is coming in, my bones feel that Kylington is moving out

9 isn't enough?

some reading on Fantenberg from a couple of years:

http://lakingsinsider.com/2017/05/02...ar-fantenberg/

Fantenberg, 25, stands roughly six feet and weighs 200 pounds and was named to the 2017 KHL All-Star Game but did not play because of an injury. He had three goals, 23 points and a minus-three rating in 44 games with KHL-Sochi in 2016-17, one year after putting up four goals and 17 points in 43 games with SHL-Frolunda. The left-shot defender has never played in a North American League but came up through the IF Troja-Ljungby and HV71 ranks, and made his debut in the highest level of Sweden’s domestic circuit as an 18-year old with HV71 in 2009-10. He represented Sweden at the World Junior Championship in 2010 and during Euro Hockey Tour tournaments in 2013, 2015 and 2016.

The process of scouting and signing Fantenberg was undertaken heavily through the work of Assistant General Manager Michael Futa and Head European Scout Christian Ruuttu, and I also spoke with Director of Amateur Scouting Mark Yannetti to get his sense on the signing, as well. The consensus seems to be that Fantenberg has always been a player who plays with pace and reads the ice well and has in recent years raised his defensive performance to go along with his transitional skills. It seems to be that he’s a player who should compete for a spot on the team at training camp but could also be bound for AHL-Ontario.

No one tell the guys at TSN... they are just still bumbling about trades that haven't happened

Awful.

Nice thing about Fantenberg is that I don't think he's a guy that needs to be in the lineup everynight but can really help our young Swedes in Andersson and Kylington.

Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson
Valimaki - Stone
Fantenberg - Prout

Gives you 5 guys that can play NHL minutes on each side. Fine by me.

Is a solid defender with good positioning and an active stick. Offensively, he is an excellent passer with great vision and a good shot from the point. Can be an asset on the power play. While a good skater, he does not have elite mobility or speed for the National Hockey League level. Also, he will need to adjust to the smaller rinks in North America in order to thrive.

His NHL playoff experience is four games. Not that I know much about him but stats are underwhelming. 77 total NHL games at 27 years old.

[Cactus Jack]

Anders Eriksson for the third time around?

[jg13]

That is a ton of d men that can play in the NHL..

Have to think someone is getting moved here.. no?

He plays a steady two way game and skates well(typical Swede). Not overly big or but from what I see uses his body well. He does have a decent shot though. Not sure how his one timer is but his shot is decent(not heavy).
