Pettersson is clearly not healthy, and no, I don't believe anyone--not even Pettersson himself--when they say otherwise. Whatever it is, it's caused him to lose a step and it's clearly affecting his entire game.
You and BeefStock up there should go out and get a beer sometime.

Nah, it's been too long
This was last season:
What in the heck is wrong with Elias Pettersson?
He's looked like a completely different player this season. Despite his point totals, he looks completely pedestrian; almost like something is severely wrong with him mentally. The injury excuse has come and gone, and now it really doesn't make any sense why an 100+ point capable centre is so...

Injuries can linger, both Vancouver and Colorado are well familiar with this phenomenon. Demko's already been told whatever's bothering him will never heal completely.Nah, it's been too long

He's been a completely different player for the last 2 seasons despite the point total (which still dropped, too).
Mental issues is much more likely than a lingering injury IMO.
It’s basically been a full season’s worth of games now. And no, he doesn’t just look different, the stats back it up.
And that’s not the only guy who’s pointed out that his skating and shot are significantly hampered. It’s very clear he’s not healthy, problem is he may have been told that rest won’t make it any better which is almost worse than just a plain ol’ injury that can be fixed via rehab/surgery.

Now we need to get him so we can lament about how Cale and Elias need surgery all season

EP’s play fell off a cliff the moment he got his extension. Perhaps he got injured or something around that same time but I can’t help but attribute his poor play to how little he cares based on everything you hear around him.
It’s legit out there that the reason JT Miller and EP don’t get along is because JTM wants everybody to give 110% and EP simply doesn’t do that. Miller calls him out and Pettersson doesn’t like that.

Lol, MacK is going to force a trade to Pittsburgh if we keep trading his friends. Only way you trade Casey right now is for Crosby.
Otherwise stfu lol

If only this board coveted our own talented floater as much as they covet the rest of the league's talented floaters

They've been on the ice together consistently doing drills at optional practices, and both work with the same skills coach in the offseason. Can't remember the name.
So maybe not, but they're together a lot lol.

Mikko Rantanen may have the 5th most points in the NHL over the last 5 years. Buuuuttt what if we traded him for this guy that just got a huge extension and has been really disappointing since signing it instead??

We trade some of our best and last trading chips for two meh players. Surely we can do better.
