What’s the story with Elias Pettersson?

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.

The 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.

this is probably the reality of it all, which isn’t terrible at all. PPG two way center is still a key piece

Seems like a star player that leaves you wanting more.

Seems like he could be in that franchise tier but just isn't. Then the unreasonable expectations leave people disappointed.

A player less than the sum of his parts.

I don't blame vamcouver for giving that contract. It was the logical thing to do, but I was a little skeptical about him.

I know people talk about his finish last season, but there were times in that 2nd covid year where he just looked awful.

It's not to say that I expect him to be bad forever, but from a consistency standpoint, I do have some pre existing question marks. When his career is said and done, will his production look predictable year to year or will he be prone to some significant volatility? A classic case of this was Alex kovalev.
