How many points will Elias Pettersson score in 2022/23?

[Killer Orcas]

he will do as he has and be in the 60-69 point range. There are a lot of REALLY optimistic people voting here.


Crazy talk.

Just an opinion and I'm just going by how he played when Boudreau came. He's healthy they have offensive depth I can see a breakout. No guarantees of course but hey he's definitely got the talent.

 

[Ace of Hades]

I believe he will get around 80-84 points.

 

[Ignite111]

69

 

[North Cole]

69

Dan? Is that you?

 

[ChilliBilly]

hes not as good as either Sedin that's for sure

Actually I think he is as good as either Sedin, but not as good as both of them with him paired with anyone this team. However I think kuzmenko and podman with him could be close to as good a line as there is in couple of years. (This is of course dependent on Kuzmenko maxing out on his potential.)

100 points.

I know a lot of people year after year think he's finally going to break out into Wayne Gretzky. But I'm not one of those people. I think we will see a regression. I think he'll hit about 59pts if he can stay healthy. Physically and mentally.

 

[bossram]

79 points.

Now you just sound like a Habs fan..... sorry that was harsh

 

[Love]

68(with 29 goals).

This is higher than I thought your prediction would be. I think you’re a bit off your game, I’ll give it a 5/10.

Hes got a WAAAAAAAAY better shot than Gretzky ever did

 

[Crow]

80 points. What’s a swamp cooler?

It’s pretty crazy to just start expecting 20+ point leaps. It’s not like there has been much added to the team to help him out. If they Planned to keep Miller and then added another big piece in the off-season that might be a reason but I don’t see Mikheyev, Dermott, Dickinso, Lazar etc as moving the needle.

Good luck to him and the Canucks. I just don’t see it as a likely scenario.

The issue is you’re looking at point totals rather than what went into them. He’s not really an average established 60-69 point player who is being suggested to have a 20+ point leap. He’s a young player who has had multiple runs of PPG+ play that have been statistically and visually at a sustainable level (ie not just a hot streak), interspersed with injury and visually poor play that’s resulted in lower overall numbers. He also missed time due to injury in his first year, and the Covid stoppage his second, but had a 78 point pace over both of them, followed by 18 points in 17 games in the bubble.

That doesn’t mean he won’t have something similar happen again, but thinking he will finally put it together for a full season rather than just half seasons is far different than assuming a player making a leap to something he’s never shown before, and he doesn’t need the team improving to do it.

77 , think just below ppg ish

 

[CascadiaPuck]

85

that's super disrespectful to any Canucks fan who watched the sedins.

Poor man's air conditioner.

 

[LaMasquerade]

I might be super optimistic, but I think he's going to have his first 70+ points season. So, 70-79.

 

[ChilliBilly]

Seriously? I am a massive Sedin fan. Have family tickets for 52 years, and have been to games for all that time, though I can not personally afford the tickets. did you actually read what I said? I didn't say that he was "better" than the sedin's, I basically said his individual skill might be as good as either of them. Obviously their chemistry was unique. I also didn't say that a line of Pod Kuzmenko and EP would be better than the Sedin's Burrows line, I said it might at some point as good as any line in the NHL if everything went well.

 

[Asinine]

A quiet 53.

 

[Regal]

37 goals, 47 assists, 84 points

 

[PuckG]

70-79

Seems to be super inconsistent so who knows. I don’t think he’s ever going to end up being a franchise C that puts up 80 or 90+ consistently.

 

[beowulf]

I can see him breaking the 70 pt barrier but don't think he will pass 80 this year.

 

[EK47]

Neither was either of the Sedins at 23

Weird way to say it though could have thought it over first.
