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

[Pavel Buchnevich]

His hockey IQ is insane. He saw the play way before anyone else.

Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Bo Horvat. Damn, Vancouver has been quietly doing something. Petterson could be the next Backstrom. Can't believe they got him at #5.

Could be the next Backstrom, who was drafted at #4 .

I liked what I saw in his first game. Could revive Eriksson's career.

Pettersson for tha win!!

Says it all about the posters on the Nucks board.

Canucks have there Marner and Nylander and Kadri. But they need to go out and get there Matthews + Tavares + Andersen.

Maybe. Too soon to say that Pettersson doesn’t hit that Tavares Matthews tier.
Too soon to say on Demko too.
What they really need is a better defense. They have Hughes and maybe Juolevi and then Jett Woo possibly. Still need one more top defenseman or forward in this years draft and next years and then better management.
They won’t likely get two top centers like Matthews and Tavares so need to build a better balanced team with a better defense. I don’t think the Leaf model of loading up on offense will be an option.

Why are they using Toronto as a rubric to build from, exactly?

The comparisons to Toronto players never get old so staying in fashion I will venture to say that Pettersson could very well become as good as, or even better than, Matthews.

Wouldnt we want to compare our players to successful teams players if success is the end goal?

Doesn’t that just bring a smile to your face? Seeing his parents that excited, it’s infectious

lol get this bullshit out of here. Pettersson + Boeser are tier 1 players.

Boeser was on a 40 goal pace last season, and Pettersson is showing that he can turn into a top 5 center in the league.

Pettersson is arguably better (or has more potential at least) than all 3 of those players so Im not sure who you're comparing.

 

[member 157595]

Not a Vancouver fan but I loved this pick for them at the time and he's only exceeded my expectations since then.

So much hockey IQ, something desperately needed there.

 

[BAM]

1 game is enough for him to be in the category of McDavid, Crosby, Malkin, Mackinnon, Giroux? LOL Or in the future with McDavid, Matthews, Barkov, Eichel, Mackinnon? LOL x 2

One game? He broke every single record in sweden basically. Look at the names he is there with

That's cool, Leafs have a guy in Nylander who was doing similar things in the SHL before he came over as well, let's see how he does in a full season before annointing him a future top 5 C.

To be fair, I like his game and if he can remain at center that would be huge for the Canucks going forward. I think he's a ppg talent, just gotta hope that he can stick at center.

Their seasons in the SHL are on different wavelengths, that's like saying Horvat and Matthews had similar years last season

Petersson played 2 full seasons in the SHL, including his draft year, Nylander only played 43 games total. Nylander also played on a team with far less talent, Nylander was 5 points off the team lead on his SHL team despite playing 30 less games, the top scorer on the team scored 25 in 51 games, EP's team was far better, with 6 player's including EP that topped 25 points.

Nylander outperformed EP's total's at the WJC in their D+1 year too with 10 points in 7 games compared to 7 in 7 for EP. Like I said, he's got great potential, however he's not a 1C yet and has a long way to go to proving that. 1 game doesn't make a player anything.

You know resources such as eliteprospects.com exist right? You cant just go ahead and make up stuff to prove a garbage point.

You'll notice just the single year in the SHL.

Pettersson played in HockeyAllsvenskan (Swedish second tier) in his draft year. Last season was his only season in the SHL

I used elite prospects, looked at his draft year and mistook it for the SHL, my mistake.

Nylander: 27 pts in 43 games (total)
Pettersson: 56 pts in 44 games (total)

Not really close at all tbh.

compare their d+1 years, Nylander bounced around different levels in his draft year, hence why he was picked behind guys like Fleury, Virtanen, Reinhart, Bennett. 20 points in 21 games on a far less offensive team than the one EP played on. You cannot deny the fact that EP had played on a significantly better team. The highest point getter on Nylander's d+1 SHL team had 25 points in 51 games. 6 players on EP's team scored more than that and for reference sake, Nylander was 5 points off the team lead with 30 less games played.

Nylander was pretty much the only offense for his SHL team, EP played on a team that had an array of players that could chip in offensively.

I understand the difference in the teams they played for, Vaxjo is and was better than MODO for sure. The thing I think about that though is maybe Nylander and Pettersson WERE the offense for their teams, Vaxjo would not have been nearly as good as they were without Pettersson.

 

[DDRhockey]

Nylander 0.98 ppg in shl while EP 1.35 ppg in shl.

Not close.
