I was joking… but may as well reserve…

What does Elias’s mom text him after not hearing from her son for quite some time?

“EP phone home”

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Looking forward to seeing how he handles a full season down in Abbotsford after his short stint last season. We really need this guy to develop asap.

Obviously it's referring to Elias Pettersson, DUH.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

I wonder of him, Woo, Hirose or McWard have the best chance of cracking the roster next year. I would put them all at under %20 to even get a sniff and sub 5% to play meaningful games

Who do we jail for this atrocity?

 

[JT Milker]

I work with Filipino NHLers and can tell you that Elias Pettersson may or may not have a knee.

I may or may not have made the first anti chiro posts and then peaced out after having dropped that grenade. I see a million notifications...seems like there was some discussion XD

(also chiropractors arent doctors)

I believe in the player but 11.6 is a lot for someone who falls over as much as he does. Not a soft player by any means but does leave you wanting more sometimes.

He’ll still get 40 goals & 100 points, but it’ll take him a couple years to mould into a playoff beast that dominates 5-on-5. Will be a great contract 2-3 years from now.

Did we mess up by handing out a franchise contract to Pettersson? We overpaid Pettersson at 11.6 M considering Guentzel got 9M & Reinhart who scored 57 goals and won a Cup got 8.5M both Superstars were excellent in the playoffs whereas Pettersson was terrible. If this franchise wants to win a Cup Pettersson has to be absolutely dominant in the post season at that high salary number.

If those guys were 25 they’d be making a lot more. The AAV is down because the terms takes them to a lot older.

25 year old for 8 seasons better than a 28 year old for 8 and 29 going in 30 for 7.

No.

Glad we cleared it up.

all I wanted to see was the 2020 version of EP in the playoffs which is not a unreasonable ask. would have been enough to beat Edmonton in round 2. It would have been around 8 points in 7 games, which is still absolute horse shit, but enough to beat the Oilers even without Demko

I'm ok with the 8 years, but I wish they did it in the off-season instead.

People really be going through this every now and then,
Petey had a slump under Travis Green as well, maybe we shouldve traded him for a 1st and 2nd round pick back then.

Performance isnt always linear, he's a phenomenal player and an elite player.
It is literally acknowledged by the entire league.
This little injury that set him back this season isnt gonna hinder his career.

He had a knee tendinitis for ~4months.

I agree thst its not likely to hinder his career but it absolutely explains his slump.
