Listen, this is a best-on-best tournament.

Pettersson has to compete for ice time with some other world class centers:

Mika Zibanejad
Leo Carlsson
Joel Eriksson Ek
Elias Lindholm
Gustav Nyquist

It's not realistic to expect him to be better than any of those guys, let alone all of them.

Well he’s definitely not better than any of them currently.

When you'd rather have Eriksson Ek at 11.6 than EP, you know something's wrong.

Don't get me wrong, Eriksson Ek is fantastic, but Pettersson was supposed to be a few levels higher, and he was drafted accordingly as well.

Celebrini, McKenna, DuPont on the way as well but that’s still like 5-7 years from now.
Canada, and chl I have wondered if they ever do reduce games to practice more on skill development. 68 regular season games plus 4 rds of playoff. 90 games to win one of the 3 leagues. Like double ncaa frozen 4 teams.

But, too much of a business now to change.
 
I’d love for this to be true, but it’s such a huge gamble to allow this to drag out into next season. Such a frustrating situation, and of course something like this would happen to this team.
Agreed. If he looks like this next season with the full NMC kicked in we are f***ed.
 
Yep a tad to much to ask. At this point we are begging for even 1 assist. Just give us a nice secondary assist Petey.
He has two shots through 2 and a half games right now.

An assist would be a miracle. A goal would be the second coming.

And some knights are honestly saying we should not be hard on him. Man, it’s been a year and a half of this.

Lankinen has more points.

He’s deserving of every single criticism and disappointment.

He makes almost $12 million a year.

Do you not think we don’t want the best for him either, of course we do, we want him to be 100 point player like he showed in the past, we want him to thrive and smile, we have chance literally that say let’s go Petey in support when he struggles.

But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t wake up

His terrible performance is why the Canucks didn't beat the Coilers in the playoffs. Everyone else was going but him, and it was the difference.

Could have been in the cup finals if he was even 50% of what he is now paid to be.
