cory40 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 A side note EP is doing everything at a weight many thought impossible to play at the NHL level. When he puts on 20 lbs wow he will be a unstoppable force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 They replayed last year's gold medal game, watched a bit of it. Explain to me again why EP was playing on the second line behind Lias Anderson? I know Lias's dad wasn't the coach because I literally googled that last year during he game. EP really had nothing to work with. Oh well water under the Öresund Bridge 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how Elias can compare then. And this season he well easily surpass the last one. At 22yrs (in 3 weeks) he is nowhere near his peak yet. Elias has a ways to go before he is in the McDavid discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, Pettersson is on pace for the highest rookie points since Crosby/Ovechkin - I’m cool with that 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a couple years away, but this guy is going to be really good. Super quick hands, and elite vision. Alf know his alien friends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wouldn't see it as any less impressing, really. EP right now is not the kind of player that dominates like McD though. And maybe we should lay off the generational comparisons anyhow... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy to lay off generational comparisons, but EP keeps tee-ing them up and then crushing them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The fact that a lot of people are comparing Pettersson to McDavid and Gretzky is kind of nice, and shows the level this kid is at. Canucks didn't have to tank to get him either (elite drafting). It doesn't really matter who's better at this stage than whomever. Pettersson has a long, prosperous career ahead of him. Boxscores a couple of years from now will read a lot like "Pettersson from Hughes and Boeser" or "Boeser from Pettersson and Hughes". Those three (along with Horvat and Virtanen) are going to produce a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When generational talents like Petterson and Quinn Hughes get drafted at 5 and 7 it shows how stupid the other GM’s were that passed over these two greats.

Bring on the Cups! Both those players may be great Alf but generational is a bit much in Dec. Ep is not even considered the best 20 yr old yet (Laine has proven it for a few years) Hughes hasn't even proven himself in the NHL yet Hughes is not even the highest scoring defencemen in the NCAA right now, never mind any other leagues Sure glad you are not the GM and paying them generational money, before they earn that title 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 ^^ it makes sense to me ballistic, what you're saying, these young players haven't proved their metal in the NHL yet (other than Pettersson, who has 33 games), but I'm not sure the Canucks have had a forward and D prospects/young players this outstanding in a generation or more. The Sedins were magnificent to watch, but they always came as a package. It's difficult to assess individually how good they were. Pettersson and Hughes may turn out to be generational players for the Canucks. Not there yet, but Pettersson is on his way I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell I will just enjoy finding out for now Sedins were packaged together Yet won their League awards while other twin was injured I believe we could have had 2 better lines separating them at times, and putting them together on the P.P. They were both good playmakers I believe as competitive as they were, seeing one score, the other would have pushed that much more on his line 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
