Player Discussion Had Pettersson Regressed?

[Pavel96]

Everytime his face is on the camera he has a glazed over look about him....theres just nothing there right now

And though he can hide his cold gaze and you can shake his hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense your lifestyles are probably comparable: He simply is not there.

Petey? Petey? Petey?

...

Not present.

Winning?

I’ll settle for playing a little defense and the odd big hit.

I think you just accidentally described Tyler Myers.

You been hanging out with @I in the Eye ?

No. I have to return some video tapes.

14 months now since we seen this guy play a decent game. Let's face it...he's done. Unlikely to return to form with this franchise...

 

[CNuck]

Canucks paid 7m for this guy? this is Loui Eriksson BAD

I'm sorry but this kind of overreaction is hilarious to me. He's done at 23. Time to throw him away in a panic trade, like that hasn't backfired on the team before.

This guy has legit quit on the team. 11 months is not a blip. Just don't see him improving unless the GM gets fired or he gains motivation from being on a new team.

 

[Grub]

Yes he sucks.

Petterson was pretty good last year. This teams even strength scoring cratered after he went down

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Bring in a new coach.

If he still blows a year from now, trade him.

 

[mathonwy]

Or…

Give him what he wants.

I know. Crazy right?

 

[Nomobo]

He’s fragile physically and mentally. I don’t believe he’s quit on the team but he has hit a wall, he’s not handling the fame and fortune well.

 

[Dab]

Looks about 170 pounds wet. Someone get this kid on a high protein diet and some weights.

really got to wonder what he did all summer.

This management has poor communication with it's players, it's been proven. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't reach out to Petey or give him any type of expectations, advice or any guidance after last season and into the summer. He could of just sat around playing video games for all we know

 

[Carl Carlson]

At this point I'm worried. It's not even like he's shown flashes of his old self. He's just straight up playing bad. Hopefully a coaching change can jump start him.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Remember when people were saying they'd take EP over McJesus LOL

 

[Nucker101]

EP is my boy but the guy clearly either is disinterested or just lost because the difference in how much he moves his feet these days(with and without the puck) compared to his rookie season is unreal. I also remember hearing about he switched to a longer stick, If true, I wonder if that’s thrown off his puck handling

 

[iFan]

He looks like crap out there and he doesn’t really seem to care much, this usually doesn’t end well for the fans.

Seriously shocked to find out an account from 2011 just posted this gibberish. I was fully expecting this account to be 5 days old.

 

[sandwichbird2023]

Or…

Give him what he wants.

I know. Crazy right?

But what does he want though? He got the contract he wants, he was happy we got OEL, still playing top PP and with the lotto line most of this season. I really can't think of anything else short of firing the coach, but is that really how you want to run the team, let one of your player decide who should be running the team? I don't like Green but I also don't think firing him just o please a player is a good precedent to set.

 

[PG Canuck]

Honestly, I’m willing to give Pettersson the benefit of the doubt until a new coach is hired. Yeah yeah he makes millions to play blah blah. I can’t even imagine how draining it is to head to the rink everyday and see that snug ass POS Green talk “systems”. A coach that literally suppresses talent and scoring.

If Pettersson plays like this with a new coach and system then I’ll be very worried. I think pretty much everyone is checked out right now.

Besides, Pettersson’s comments about wanting to be on a winning team and definitely aligning with his play right now, as he’s probably so fed up (as many others likely are).

I also think it’s funny how this is the same fanbase that was laughing at the Leafs fans’ treatment of Marner and Matthews and then do the same to their own. Pathetic but expected.

Has EP shown anything of what he was in his first 2 seasons in the past 11 months?

Make no mistake. Pettersson is capable of being a PPG player on a team that has a) depth b) structure and c) a good coach. I think his development here has been royally f***ed and is now a flawed player and now he seems to have checked out of this organization. I would guarentee this guy would be a top star if he was playing for the Islanders right now.

If you think just Pettersson is upset, you are out of your mind. Respectfully.
