I just traded him in my fantasy league... you're welcome Canucks fans, he'll get good again very soon
He’s incredibly frustrating.
He maintained a 104 point pace between December 2021 (he was in the same type of slump he’s in right now prior) up until February 2024. His play was already starting to suffer though by around November/December of 2023 but he was still producing. After the all star break he’s completely just gone awol.
this is probably the reality of it all, which isn’t terrible at all. PPG two way center is still a key pieceThe thing was he had a completely unsustainable on-ice shooting % in his 100+ point career season.
Then he got lucky again when his whole team went on a heater for the first couple of months of last season.
He's a good player, but fans expecting his 100 point season to be the new normal were always setting themselves up for disappointment.
89 points last season, 102 points the year prior.
Yeah he's not a perfect player, doesn't really have the build for sustaining the grind, playing through injuries etc. but he's a great player who will probably go on a heater soon.
No. Swedes do not function like that. They do not play for the money. Elias is in the spectra and a wreck mentaly.Soft + got his money
Dangerous combo
You realize he’s from Sweden , right?Soft + got his money
Dangerous combo
I was going to say that I believe those two pulled a freaky Friday situation and this year Pettersson has to be Lindsay Lohan
Huberdeau > Pettersson
The plot twist at the end is a game-changer!Not sure, only on Chapter 11. Please no spoilers!
On your bedromm wall eh?In today's league where most players are called generic shit like Soup or Juice or Noodles, "Mercurial Pete" is actually a pretty good nickname.
As for the player, it's clear by this thread we've got two different type of opinions, one by people who watches him all the time (Canucks fans, calling him a moody bean pole and pointing out he's been that way long before the current deal) and then people who probably catch him once or twice per season saying he's a lazy cat on a (newly acquired) big bag of money.
I think it's probably a combination of mental things and physical things, not necessarily injury but perhaps afraid of getting injured, and/or nursing some old stuff. Guy isn't exactly built like Brad Pitt in Troy.
You are getting likes from all the usual suspects eh?The plot twist at the end is a game-changer!
After getting traded to the Carolina Hurricanes, Pettersson is walking away from Rogers Arena with the limp from his self-reported patellar tendonitis. After a few steps, his limp disappears and he starts walking straight again. He lights up a cigarette and hops into a car with Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Patrik Allvin, suspecting something is up, runs out to the front steps of the arena – but the car is nowhere to be seen.
And like that... he's gone.
