While I agree we should temper our expectations a bit, you need to remember that Pettersson annihilated the SHL. He didn't just have a "decent" or "pretty good" year, he made that league his bitch! He was way better than the Sedins were in the SHL. He broke Forsberg's rookie record, as well as Kent Nilsson's record that had stood for over 40 years. There is definitely reasons to be excited for him.
