Elias Pettersson is a Swedish defenceman who plays a well-rounded two-way game. Not to be confused with his fellow Swede who has the exact same name (center for the Vancouver Canucks), this Elias Pettersson plays defence and is much bigger than his namesake.

Pettersson played most of this season with the U20 team for Örebro where he was excellent, scoring 10 goals and earning 18 points over 37 games. He managed to play in 17 Swedish Hockey League (SHL) games later in the season but was rarely given consistent ice time. He earned one assist in those games but did flash a bit of his offensive potential despite being such a young player in one of the world’s best professional hockey leagues.

Is this not a case of "going off the board"? Wasn't he ranked much lower?

Don't mind picking a defenseman with a good shot here. We simply do not get enough goals from our back end and lack a defender with a big Slapshot

GOAT tier name though I can't imagine what it's going to be like if we makes the show and we have two of them
