Prospect Info: Canucks select D Elias Pettersson , 3rd Round, 80th Overall, 2022

[DL44]

Box scores are going to be confusing

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

In all seriousness - big defensemen with a heavy shot. Was also a part of Sweden's gold medal U18 team with Lekkerimaki.

 

[M2Beezy]

We gotta trade for both Sebastian Ahos now

 

[krutovsdonut]

if they ever trade this guy they will need to be really really careful with the paperwork they file.

 

[Daniel Gee]

 

[Huhu]

Best of luck to the Canucks HR department.

 

[valkynax]

What...the f***?

 

[RutherPlan]

Is he just 6'2?

Looks and plays a lot bigger.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Fun fact: Canucks had two Greg Adams in 1988-1989

 

[Sykur]

If they get a 3rd Elias Pettersson, they can put them together in the locker room like the Jims in Shoresy.

"Elias you ready to go?"
"Yeah!"
Elias, you ready to go?"
"YES!"
"Elias, you ready to go?"
"I am indubitably, good sir."

 

[God]

this just looks like standard body positioning to me, which isn't a bad thing, but you wouldn't be able to play AC/DC over these highlights and put it into rock em sock em

 

[Blueangel1891]

After the Twins, we've gotten ourselves the Swedish name clones

God I love this team

 

[DL44]

Nice fluid skating and mobility

 

[tradervik]

The next Edler or Ohlund.

Usual disclaimers apply.

 

[DL44]

Wonder how he wants to pronouce his name.... maybe he opts for 'peter' instead of 'petter'

 

[wonton15]

 

[valkynax]

 

[Iron Mike Sharpe]

I haven't been this excited since we had both Greg Adams'.

 

[WhiteCurse]

Fun fact: Canucks had two Greg Adams in 1988-1989

One of the two is the most hated person I have ever been around.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Nice thread bump.

Nope.

 

[Kryten]

 

[biturbo19]

This development is both intriguing and concerning.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

I actually agree with this

You agree with me? Well …. Guess the world ends today. Lol

Canucks love picking players who don’t skate well. The kept saying we need speed and then sign BB6 and draft players with cement boots.


Weird

 

[F A N]

Petterssson or Makar?

More seriously. Not a fan of this pick. Sounds like a guy we pick with a 5th or 6th round pick. I prefer using the pick on a guy like Jurmo where you can see the size and skillset package. Don't know enough of this draft though.

 

[VanJack]

You have to defer to the scouts who obviously felt this was the best guy at #80 overall....but 'two' Elias Pettersson's in the same organization? Geez.
