RW/C Elias Pettersson (2017, 5th, VAN) Part 5

[gretskidoo]

JAS is fair. He just gets rounded upon whenever he makes an even slightly critical post. Usually by the same individuals.

Believe it or not, Pettersson didn't magically become an ~elite player the second he stepped on NHL ice.

 

[dellzor]

That’s unbelievable. To do that at his age and only 45ish games into his career. So much confidence. That was a Quinn Hughes esque breakout.

Petey knows Pouliot and Gudbranson suck so much he won't even pass to them for that zone exit.

Thanks Tuna!

Yeah, it was, like everyones, about his size and play on a higher lever, plus the speed. I saw him live a couple of times during the WHC in Copenhagen where he got outmuscled along the boards vs Belarus, for example, time and time again, but its amazing how he just turned his play up in every league he goes to. HA to the SHL, SHL to the SHL playoffs and now SHL playoffs to the NHL. Its truly amazing.

Hes an awesome player and, obviously, the best fw coming out from Sweden in quite a while. Dont compare him to Hughes though, hes not that good

S

So Pettersson is not as good as Hughes? Are you sure? Personally, I like Pettersson's game a lot more than Hughes'.

Hmm.. last 5 games, 0+2 and only 1 goal in his last 10 games (thou 1 goal + 7 assists last 10 games)
Hopefully he doesn't run out of steam and can pick it up again.

 

[Canucks LB]

Picking it up again as expected.
Just an incredible hockey player.

This is a great moment.

This is a great moment.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen him smile. And that's really genuine too. Great stuff.

Just curious. Why did the Svechnikov "prospect" thread get closed but this one is still open? Is it a # games played thing?

EDIT: I'm not complaining that this one is still open as that's fine by me. Was just curious how it worked here.

Dahlin, & Heiskanen threads were also closed, so yeah this should close too.

 

[thelittlecoon]

The greatest player of all time. Close the thread.

 

[Daximus]

Close the thread, kids primetime now.

Isn't the rule around here you are a prospect until 65 games played?

I know they fast-tracked Matthews, Laine, and Marner because uh, reasons.........

 

[Star Ocean]

A mod closed brady tkachuck thread for playing 64 games.

This should be closed as well

 

[GetFocht]

Well it was a pleasure to battle with you trolls, until the next generational Canucks prospect. See you guys in 27 years.
