He is skating so f***ing weird. It’s insane that like he does this weird side to side shuffle all the time even on back checks.

That was a tough watch actually. Forsberg was trying to give him a push from behind to help him back check faster but it seemed to just slow him down more if anything
It is noticeable how weird he’s skating and how short his shifts are. Is it the knee mechanics?

Only notice him when he passes the puck to the D in his own zone to skate off for a change.

Terrifying to think the Canucks were close to having $18.5M tied up long term in Sweden’s worst 2 centers

Pettersson looked like he got tossed there by Rantanen after trying to run back at him after taking a thit.......slight difference in power.......bambi vs a bull & got tossed.
14 mill to get Rantanen here..........one can dream - he's a Bull

Yeah, and in typical Canucks fashion it almost sorta worked enough to give ourselves enough rope to hang ourselves with.

Well aware........he's also naturally a big strong guy and always has been..........EP has never been that. He's getting better and he has some spunk to him as he throws hits ............which is nice. But yeah he's never gonna be near the same class strength wise as Rantanent - he's a bull.........

EP needs to work on his lower body just as much, if not more than his upper body. He has that "give a f***" still. He throws some stiff checks, but he's just not a trenches player right now. That's OK. Patrick Kane wasn't really a trenches player, but he was a natural winger. But he did go to the trenches, it's just Kane had this uncanny ability to swoop in like a crow, get the puck and come out of the trench relatively unscathed and move it with speed. EP isn't half the skater Kane is.
I'd say to him, basically to survive in this league you're going to have to study some more Foppa tape and pass A LOT more. Holy shit, I had no idea Trottier coached the Avs. That makes a ton of sense.
LOOK at that puck protection and poise. That's hockey at it's finest.

It's the long con. He's going to go a year and a bit playing terribly, looking off golden shooting opportunities until that's the book on him.
Then Blamo! 50 goal season.

If he wants to trade Pettersson, he needs to look more inbred and hard of breathing than this gif makes him seem.
