Elias Pettersson | #40 | C


-Vintage Canuck-

Recommended Posts

Nice to see EP coach say that Canuck fans need to be patient and temper expectations for the start of next year. Who knows he could start on fire but it will be interesting to see where he lines up at W or C and who they try to "insulate" him with.

 

Hope he heas a strong showing at the Worlds and stays healthy then has a great summer of training.

The guy is almost young enough to be in this year's draft and he's dominating the SHL, it's hard to not forecast a star NHLer. It is what it is, he's going to be hyped, ain't much you can do about that.

he turns 20 in november, he was 2 months shy of being eligible in the 2016 draft. So technically he was an older draft eligible player?

He will set the U-20 record for scoring in the WJC and lead the tournament in scoring of course.

I don't think he can go...

 

We're  talking about the world championship.

The world championships, but he means he'll set the scoring record for most points in that tournament (out of all U-20's to have ever played).

Well we'll find out when he sets it. ;)

Just went back and looked. Highest i could find was Crosby back in 2006 when he scores 8-8-–16 in only 9 games. Thats better than gretzky did as a 21 year old...

 

other notables include patrick kane who had 10 points in 7 games, steven stamkos who had 11 points in 9 games, and Laine who had 12 points in 10 games as an 18 year old (matthews had 9 points in 10 that year). Last years highest scoring u-20 was sebastion aho with 11 points in 10. 

 

Im expecting probably .80 to 1.00 ppg from pettersson this year. Too high?
