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

[I am toxic]

Imagine if we had won the draft in 2018..
Dahlin and Pettersson would have been dynamic.

I can't help but think of this sometimes. With those two young Swedes, and having Edler and Marky on the team (and Loui as well I guess?) with the Sedins as ambassadors, would have been able to make a pitch for EK and voila, pretty close to being a contender.

Imagine a D core with Dahlin/EK/Edler/Tanev/Hutton/Stecher with Biega and another left shot D riding the pine.

Ah, the booming rocket from the face off dot. Haven't seen that before

Such a stud

Another angle of the goal.

In. The. Faaaaaceee

 

[GetFocht]

Only Pettersson would make a goalie tip in the puck in their own net.

These are such stupid cherry picked stats lmao

Whats cherry picked about these stats?

 

[The Sweetness]

These are such stupid cherry picked stats lmao

It's probably the best way to objectively show his goal scoring pace comparative to other young players historically.

It just shows how many goals he's scored, in the amount of games he's played so far and comparing him to other young players.

I'm not sure how else they'd really make any comparison at this stage of the season.

Stats are the stats, but I agree it is kind of arbitrary.

Reminds me of baseball -- "he's only the third pitcher in the last 30 years to record 5 strikeouts on a Tuesday following a lunar eclipse".

Amazed there are people who track this stuff.

All stats are cherry picked if you don't apply context.

 

[bigdog16]

Agreed they are a bit cherry picked. Still doesnt take away how talented he is though

 

[WHISTLERNATE]

Wow, 2 of 11 are current Canucks. Random stat, but still nice to see.

 

[nuxnuxnux]

Shooting % too high, what a bust

In a few years this is going to be a long, long video

 

[GetFocht]

On pace for 40 goals as a rookie that is still has lots of growth to do physically, getting wide spread attention as being one of the best players in league. I can't believe he is a Canuck.

 

[nuxnuxnux]

People can talk about his shooting % all they want, yeah it’s unsustainable but what’s impressive and I never hear anyone mention is that only 4 of his 25 goalies are tips/rebounds/deflections. He just beats goalies clean most of the time.

 

[GetFocht]

This thread needs more of how Pettersson looks like Gretzky on the ice

-scoring at a 47 goal, 90 point pace over 82 games.
-didn't even play centre last season and made the tough move to the middle
-first time on N. American ice
-as physically undeveloped as any rookie you will ever see
-playing on a team with as poor a puck moving defense as any in the league
-tethered to the much vaunted Gudbranson/Pouliot pairing for whatever reason
- on a team with a poor PP
- has had to battle back from 2 injuries, in season

Is the shooting% unsustainable? Yeah, it sure is. Is playing with the worst puck moving defensemen in the game also unsustainable? I sure f***ing hope so.

Quinn Hughes countdown in affect.

44 career games. Graphic showing statistical comparison to other players after 44 career games.

How in the hell is that cherry picked?

It's all stats available. Until next game.. I don't get it? hahaha

I guess it's because of him missing games or something. The "fastest rookie" in that case is odd wording.

Guys.. stop picking cherrries. Yeeesh.

Hopefully he won't cool down like Boeser did with 4g in his last 18gp last year as teams became more aware of him.

I agree, but I think Petterssons skill set is much better than Boesers. EP just has too many options in his arsenal.
