2023 Fantasy Outlook
Blue Jackets fans are likely in for another painful season, but at least they'll get to watch Fantilli. He was taken with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft after scoring an incredible 30 goals and 65 points in 36 NCAA outings with the University of Michigan last season. The 18-year-old forward, who stands at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, will be able to use his size and strength to his advantage in the NHL, but as he showed with Michigan, he's more than just a big body. He's also fast and highly skilled offensively, with the potential to eventually become a top-line center. Taking a rookie is always a risk, but Fantilli appears to be far enough along in his development to record 40-50 points and 50-60 PIM in his first campaign. Read Past Outlooks

Laceration
April 10, 2024
Fantilli (laceration) will miss the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Fantilli suffered a lacerated calf Jan. 28 against Seattle. He will finish his rookie season with 12 goals and 25 points in 49 appearances. The third overall pick from the 2023 Draft has a lot of upside and might see a significant jump in offensive production in his second NHL season in 2024-25.

April 10, 2024
Fantilli, who hasn't played since Jan. 28 due to a lacerated calf, might still join Team Canada for the IIHF World Championship in May, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Fantilli won't return for the Blue Jackets before the end of the 2023-24 campaign, but he might still recover in time for the World Championship. That would provide the 19-year-old with an opportunity to gain some extra experience ahead of his summer training. He will finish his rookie season with 12 goals and 27 points in 49 contests with Columbus.
