Prospect Info: SHL champion Elias Pettersson | SHL scoring champion, playoff MVP, WC gold

[racerjoe]

I quit smoking in December and added 10 pounds in 45 days. It's possible.

After a motorcycle accident I added 45 pounds in two months... does that count?

 

[Disappointed EP40]

Hmm not sure if you were being distasteful or unintentional, but I am pretty sure that is what happened to Bourdon.

Yeeeeesh... he made a hyperbolic joke. Foul reference. Bad form.

 

[kanuck87]

10 pounds in 6 months is definitely possible. Though there are many factors that play into it. Training routine, genetics etc.

You don't put on just muscle when you bulk up though. It's a combination of muscle and fat. More likely he'll have 3-4 months to bulk, then he'll spend the rest of the off-season cutting to get rid of the fat that was gained with the muscle.

So it's whatever he can gain in 4 months, probably. 10 pounds of muscle in 4 months might not be so easy.

Whoa! You win. How long did that take to work off? I still haven't.

 

[NoShowWilly]

Found out I was gonna be a dad and put on 30lbs in 9months. Dad boding now.

 

[Stardustforever]

Just filthy.

Going to be glorious seeing him in North America next season!

Canucks should hire Kyle Wellwood as a trainer to help with Pettersson on this over the summer.

A while as I was not very mobile for a while. I went from being in my early twenties and super active to eating 3 course meals and not moving much.

Calorie counting and Southbeach diet got me back on track, once I could be active it really came off quick.

 

[Starships]

Didn't see this posted yet, really good video. Kid has incredible character to boot.

Serious question from a non-smoker that isn't into fitness:

Do you mean smoking inhibited your ability to gain muscle mass or does quitting smoking generally make people gain body fat?

Smoking suppresses your appetite, so if you quit smoking you tend to eat more and therefore gain weight.

 

[Hemty]

Our boy!

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Smoking raises your metabolism too.
Gained 30 pounds after quitting. Still feel healthier than I was.

 

[Nick1219]

Our boy!

Is it weird that gave me chills?

 

[GetFocht]

I honestly think we got the forward version of Erik Karlsson in the draft.

 

[Peter10]

Haha yeah, added about 25 pounds after i quit smoking. Not sure how long it took but was only a few months but I am stable since.

RaguJoe!

William Nylanders height and weight at his 2014 draft was 5'-11" and 169 lbs

He is now listed at 6' - 191 lbs!

A miracle!

 

[PredsForPresidents]

I honestly think we got the forward version of Erik Karlsson in the draft.

Yeah, but Pettersson is good in his own zone
Talk about irony.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

All the weak trolling effort on the prospect board
Mmmmmm, all those salts are yummy

 

[krutovsdonut]

"humble swag"

 

[polarbearcub]

I wonder how high we had him ranked?

By not winning the lottery we may have won it.

 

[ChefBoiRD]

Erik Karlsson. The memories of the 2008 draft abound. With the 10th overall pick Vancouver selects Cody Hodgson. With the 15th overall pick Ottawa selects Erik Karlsson. What could have been
