WeneedLumme Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 1 hour ago, Canadian Clay said: Look at the top line centre for the 2015 Blackhawks, 2014 kings, 2011 bruins, or 2010 Blackhawks. If bo horvat can turn into a 60 point centre with an excellent two way game and good face offs, he can be a first line centre Closer to home, Brendan Morrison centered a pretty good line back in the day and he wasn't a top end first line centre. If you're not spending 10 million bucks for the centre, you can afford better wingers. If you do have a line with 3 top end first line players, that line gets real expensive real fast, unless you are lucky and smart enough to be able to lock them all into long term contracts just when they start to blossom. And then they do continue to blossom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I make a reactionary post like that again lol This is a forum for discussions. Its great that people have a reaction.... Its opinions, and thats what makes CDC a great place to spend hours on end... Keep it up 6 hours ago, Green Building said: Don't everybody be too hasty, those reactions are what make this place fun.

Well I hope not...I think we trade Goldy and Elias and Gaudette make it next year...that is my prediction... ....oh and about the management's face....JB has been preaching getting younger for a long time now...I think he has the horses to do it next year....

TGT68 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I am not sure pettersen next year is realistic. Gaudette coming in next year starting in a 4th line center role like Horvat did as a rookie and gradually working his way up in minutes and role makes sense to me. But Pettersen specifically I think goes to Utica with Dahlen, works on draws and they both work on systems and work their way up to first line with a big body on the other side. Then the year after move up to Vancouver together and play with Big Tuna on the other side creating them space. We will continue to get younger. But 2 to 3 players a year. With lots of depth and competition every year. What we saw this year is what they mean to do. Next year we will competition in goal even. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson himself knows this as well. Unless he plays lights out in which that case you'd have to make room for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Pettersson was assessed a penalty for boarding/interference but after review it turned out the Rogle player had embellished but didn't penalize him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably needs time to adjust as a center and being on NA ice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 like I have been saying ....how do you keep a 65-75 point man out of the lineup ....because "he's not ready"....it doesn't make sense to me... Elias will be 175 lbs next year and even better than this year in every other way....he could have outscored the Sedins by 10-20 points this year....why wait past next year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Pettersson - Horvat - Boeser Draft another center and another defenseman with decently high picks over the next two years and we're looking primed to start ascending the standings.

Because there's a chance it could hurt his long-term development. He could get injured or just lose confidence in the NHL if he doesn't succeed right away. After 2 seasons in the SHL we should see a more physically and mentally mature 20 year old Pettersson who is ready to jump right into the NHL and have an impact.

Or he goes the 'Nylander route' and spends a half season in Utica and the final half in Vancouver. Transitioning his game onto the smaller ice would be taken care of while he's in Utica.

Because we're in absolutely no rush like at all man. Sure skill wise he's ready now. But physically and environmentally I'd say he's not ready until 2019/2020 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
