All of this just makes me think it’s mostly inside his head, which is not a surprise. Could be something behind the scenes, could be his knee still bothering him to x degree, but really it’s likely a confidence issue. He just has to perform.

I told you all he wasn’t happy and I believe it’s because of the contract pressure.
I don’t think he wants to be in Vancouver

Well if that was the case, why would he have felt pressured to sign prior to the trade deadline when the major leverage used against him….was a trade.

this is what I noticed. So shortly after, he kinda struggled in 2021
he was put onto Millers towards the end of 2022, at a 88 point pace in the 2nd half of that season.
that continued on in 2023 where he played a bulk of his game with JT Miller and Kuzmenko.
2024 he racked up a ton of points in our own Lotto line which was Miller Boesser and Petterson, (our version of Mcdrai line) where all 3 members were average 3 points per game.
he split them up and that's when his production plummeted.

Not trying to fit in
I think this is total BS........sorry I think he's unhappy cus he hasn't been able to get it done for whatever reasons.......
Very interesting commentary by Boudreau talking about how he always wanted to be the guy - the guy playing against the McDavid's and McKinnons........which I love.
I just think that for whatever reason he hasn't been able to get it done and it's affecting him. He seems to be subject to having his confidence not as high as it could be if he isn't playing well...........Any conjecture about him not wanting to be here I think are not at all based on reality........VAn is a great city, has a very good history with Swedish players and he willingly signed a great contract to continue on a very promising team...........That's not it......not buying it one bit.

That’s a crock. There was no free pass. He got called out for his playoff performance by plenty of people, and using that chant thing doesn’t add weight to this nonsense. Brough tried to get that going because Pettersson was getting so much heat that Brought tried to turn it. It lasted maybe one game.
Btw, I thought he was good tonight again.
This is also a crock. Pure speculative nonsense

Interesting that the first year of his new contract doesn't have any trade protection but starting next season full NMC. I suppose the team was covering their bases in case of a change in scenery being needed. Maybe Carolina still is an option?

Much better game in Florida. Ideally he would be the one lifting his linemates but if he needs Garly and Hog to bring him along so be it - it's crucial that he gets going regardless of how it happens.
Just missed on another chance right in front and could have picked up some assists if Debrusk finished.
Continues to be solid defensively.

Could easily have had two or three points tonight. Played fine.
You know he just signed an extension here right?

Which he really didn’t want to talk about or discuss until the media and management noise got so loud he signed.

Its because of his injury status that you keep forgetting to include in your assesment.
It all makes sense when you remember that.
It becomes the bizzarre story that you keep telling only when you remove the injuries from the time line.
Hope that helps.
What you see as excuses I see as reasons for what is going on. No need to get pissed that some posters wont join you in the emotional reactions to his struggles.

Want to point out exactly where in this discussion I've been "pissed" or "emotional"? lol

It was the perfect game for him to get some confidence back given how poor Florida's zone coverage was tonight, and there were a ton of open players to make easy passes to. There was one play where he actually outwaited the high forward and made a move around him to have an open look in the slot, which we used to see a lot of.
Even if this was his best game of the season so far, if you showed me this game 2 years ago, I'd say he was average. Baby steps.

lol oh, you are serious. Yes totally coerced. We forced him to sign a contract he didn’t want. Got it.
that whole argument is moot when he signed his 93M extension. Lol
Boudreau’s take is eminently reasonably. And he’s literally coached Pettersson through ups and downs and admits to loving Pettersson. He’s spoken at least twice now on Pettersson and neither time has he mentioned the potential of an injury as the cause of Pettersson’s struggles.
And I think his analysis in this video is spot on. Pettersson’s issues are mental/confidence plus the fact he’s playing with pretty mediocre offensive players, but as Boudreau points out, when you are making 11.6 million you are going to shoulder the blame when you don’t perform notwithstanding the quality of your line mates and it’s hard to argue with that logic. Plus, while I am not a big fan of Debrusk (admittedly I need to see him play more), he is a relatively high priced player, and with him and Hoglander being centred by Pettersson, that’s close to a 20 million dollar line……
Clearly Pettersson wants to make a difference, when he’s not a difference maker, he beats himself up over it, you can see with the negative body language, looking skyward in disappointment after a missed opportunity etc. Needs to learn to stay positive and confident through slumps.
