I really hope Elias gets a real opportunity with Sweden. The WJC coach protected Dahlin last season and benched him a lot. I hope the worlds coach plays him some with some quality linemates.
I think Jim needs to hold a press conference talking about the success of Pettersson and his plans for him next season and his hopes for what he will accomplish at the world's. Lol.
C'mon that season deserves a press conference.
I hope Pettersson goes to the world championships. I'd love to have another reason to watch. Pettersson, Horvat, possibly Juolevi, and then Nilsson who is probably going to be a bench warmer lol
The excitement around Pettersson and this thread has been really enjoyable to be apart of. Thank you all for helping and his run so memorable. It is nice having so many like minded hockey folks to share his SHL playoffs with!
That's fair. I predicted between 45-75. Very vague I know lol. But will depend how many games he plays in the NHL. He may sit some or start in Utica. Crazy as that sounds lol. It will be hard to keep him out of the NHL tho. He is sooooo good for his age.
I can't wait to see Boeser and Pettersson feeding each other on the PP. Now you got 2 quality forwards for Juolevi to work with. We all saw what he did with Laine, Aho, and Pulvi. All he needs is players who can make use of his crisp passing and amazing timings.
