RW/C Elias Pettersson - Växjö Lakers HC, SHL (2017, 5th, VAN) Part 3

[lawrence]

Had 6 points in 6 preseason games to lead a God awful team.

dude was on 60% of all the goals the Canucks scored during pre season. outright pathetic (Canucks team)

 

[Canucks LB]

Kid is special, I knew he would be good offensively, but his defensive side of the game at his age is something I have very rarely seen.

 

[TimeZone]

Scooped him up in fantasy. He looks like he could put up 50+ points as a rookie. So much skill. Shame about the rest of the team.

you really need to stop with your Canuck bickering.

Same I'm thinking a low end of mid 40s and a high end of around 70. Got him late in my draft. I was really impressed when he played the Flames he was the only one on the ice doing anything.


I'd be very surprised at this point if he wasn't at least a high 60s point player through his career.

1 year ago I got absolutely ridiculed for saying pettersson might be close to hischier. I will enjoy this season.

Edit: i dont mean from canucks fans.

 

[lawrence]

I'm not doing it 24/7 non stop like yourself.

Not my fault the Canucks have sucked for 24/7 non stop over the last few years, looks like you’re taking out your anger on the wrong person here.

Tonight is his NHL Debut. Looking forward to seeing what he can do when the bullets are flying

According Pettersson's profile on nhl.com he now weights 176 pounds. That would mean he's gained about 10 pounds since the beginning of last season. Not sure how much you can trust those numbers though.

Elias Pettersson Stats and News

He was listed as 167 last year and absolutely doable to add 9lbs.

176 is still light for a 6 feet 2 player but don’t forget henrik sedin at his peak was 182 tops.

Where is he playing tonight for Vancouver? Is he centering the second line?

Where is he playing tonight for Vancouver? Is he centering the second line?

he's a staple for the second line C position and will get PP1 time.

It's a new era for Canucks led by Horvat, Boeser, and Pettersson. We need a top 3 pick in next years draft and sign Q.Hughes and then I am very confident in the Canucks future.

well what people were saying about him during the course of his season now has some backing. there was one guy that compared him to Lemiex, I posted a Flyers Bloger who does work out of Europe, says he's the best player he's ever seen live, the list goes on.

 

[Peeps]
