Prospect Info: Elias Pettersson | Pt. IV

[Jack Burton]

The moves he was making in order to draw that penalty that led to the PP was amazingly effortless. Looked like he was playing keep-away with a 10 year old.

His first step and when he really tries to crank up the speed still looks a little awkward but I don't think is too concerning as it should get corrected with core strength.

His edge work, anticipation and silky smooth hands are extremely effective along the boards though

He's having a good game.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Belarusians just back off of Pettersson when he has the puck. Cool to see.

 

[WinterEmpire]

Dahlin is so silky smooth

please god, let us win the #1 spot in the draft this year

 

[DDRhockey]

Pettersson already with more points than last wjc

He's very effective at finding the "quiet" ice and when he get the puck in those spots the other team is like oh F***!

 

[me2]

Just curious, how many of the Belarus team have been drafted?

To answer my own question

Sushko 4th round.

That's it from what I can work out using the elite prospects site (some 18yo guys that could get drafted yet).

He is kind of like me with the ladies, when I go to the pub.

 

[2011 still hurts]

couldn't watch the game but glad he seems to come as advertised

if we end up landing Dahlin and EP, Dahlen, Dahlin and Gaudette all end up making the team next year we'll be an exciting group to watch.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Pettersson already with more points than last wjc

I missed the game. He looking good?

 

[Jyrki21]

if we land Dahlin we have to trade Dahlen.... i cant handle two similar sounding names with different spelling on the team lol

One is "Dah-LANE", one is "Dah-LEEN". Problem solved.

We made it through Sedins/Sundin and Linden/Lindgren/Langdon on the same line – we got this!

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Come on guys. How did Pettersson look today? I'm dying here.

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

in case anyone missed it

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Dropping the knee on that wrist shot - vintage Brett Hull.

 

[vcanuck]

[Jack Burton]

is Lockwood playing tonight for USA?

Yep

Good, but Belarus didn't look like much of a challenge.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Yep

Are you sure. I thought i saw a lineup card that had him as the extra scratched forward ?

 

[krutovsdonut]

so now elias is playing right wing?

 

[Grub]

The guy could have gotten so much more points. Was anyone else surprised on how fast this kid was? Damn.. he has got wheels... and he looked pretty big to me... maybe because he was one of the taller Swedes there.

Would like to see Petterson play center. Can't believe we have this kid... this kid will make Boeser a 50+ goal scorer.

 

[geebaan]

Are you sure. I thought i saw a lineup card that had him as the extra scratched forward ?

You’re right, he’s scratched.

 

[beachcomber]

Funny, he just got a penalty.

 

[Yggdrasil]

so now elias is playing right wing?

no on the PP he stays on the right side, he has been playing mostly LW in the SHL.

so next year

pettersson horvat boeser.

easier transition to the wing in the NHL...

then 2-3 years later, center where he can give more depth and he mostly played center in his life i think but he was centering dahlen last year.

on the powerplay

boeser on the left slot, pettersson on the right. both in their most effective spots.

dammmnnnn!!!! we gonna rekt shit for real.

 

[krutovsdonut]

no on the PP he stays on the right side, he has been playing mostly LW in the SHL.

i know he is playing lw/centre in the shl

it looked like he was playing rw for sweden in those highlights.

 

[M2Beezy]

Elias is legit our savior. We finally have a real savior for this franchise.

Sutter is foundational remember PG

Jk (just kidding)
