So why not play him with a current all-time great player? Sports Writer Ville Touru posted today that CBJ young star Adam Fantilli has practiced on the wing with Pittsburgh Penguins [http://thn.com/pittsburgh] star Sidney Crosby. On Fantilli's opposite wing is Macklin Celebrini, the San Jose Sharks [http://thn.com/sanjose] star who just completed his rookie season and is a Calder Trophy Finalist. Can Sidney Crosby keep up with these two young stars? That's a joke, of course he can. Adam Fantilli might not be playing center for Team Canada, but playing with a future Hall-of-Famer and learning from him could help him for years to come. Fantilli is coming off a season that saw him tie Kirill Marchenko for the most goals on the team, while having anything but a sophomore slump. Fantilli's teammate, Kent Johnson, practiced on the third line, centered by Ryan O'Reilly as well. Seems like Dean Evason might be setting up his young stars for future success by putting them around Hall of Famers or superstars. Ulterior Motives? Possibly. Let us know what you think below.
