This is gonna be EP25 in the playoffs.

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.

 

[Knight53]

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.

 

[Hoglander]

It's crazy to see him looking good in the NHL, when he couldn't even crack an SHL roster last year. Really illustrates how much he's developed in the last few months.

Also.

Cracking an SHL roster as a teenager is really really hard.

 

[LordBacon]

I’ve seen enough,
11.6 mil x 8 yrs full NMC

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

He aint gonna be sent down for sure

 

[The Stig]

I remember seeing him play early this year in Abbotsford and thinking "oh this kid is going to be something for this team". You can see he has great hockey sense. He's smart with the puck and makes the right choices. I can't wait to see him develop.
