we got ourselves a gem. as he grows into his body hes gonna be a physical speciman on the backend for years to come. I remember early 2000s, alex edler was his age young physical and can skate before injuries derailed him later on in his career it was a treat to watch. ohlund edler pairing at one point.

Elias Pettersson on Logan O’Connor.

Wait until he gets his man strength. Kid is going to be a tank. From our 3rd/4th best prospect to borderline untouchable.

Hughes - Willander
EP25 - Hronek
MP29 - Myers/Mancini

Stacked.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Liking this kid a lot. That is all!

 

[Flik]

Do finally have another viking berserker on D????? Oh how I've missed having one of those!

 

[VanJack]

Tom Wilander and Elias Pettersson II......Canucks 'shutdown pair' of the future......who look like they could probably play in the league for the next decade.

Been a long time since Canuck fans have anticipated the arrival of two young d-men like these guys.

It's incredible how much he's progressed since camp, that was only 4 months ago.

Don't want to get ahead of myself here so I'll wait for a large sample size but like everyone else, salivating at the potential.
