  1. I’m just guessing, sorry I should have made that clear. Why else would the leading scorer of the SHL be left off the team? My guess is they watched world juniors and saw the skill but also saw he sometimes got beaten along the boards cause of strength issues. His PP play was amazing but his 5 on 5 was average.
  2. They think Petterson is too weak physically to make the team obviously. I can see this kid being a top 10 NHL player when he matures around 22-23.
  3. Hello ive been having log in issues the last several months. I have to request a new password every time I log in and I get logged out automatically when trying to post in the forum.help would be appreciated.
  4. Petterson played really well against the USA and was invisible against Canada. You win some, you lose some I guess... Like everyone is saying he’s supremely skilled but is weak along the boards and needs to add strength.
  5. If Canada loses I hope it’s because of Petterson.
  6. Nice to see him score a key goal in an important game. Seeing elevated play in critical games is what matters.
  7. If he can improve his skating he will be a middle 6 winger in the bigs in my opinion.
  8. Yeah for having the flu Pettersson is playing pretty well. Last game he wasn’t his best, but he should have had that penalty shot. He definitely has a nice shot and great vision. I can see a Swedish Giroux type player in the future.
  9. I liked what I saw in the Canada game. Smooth and usually makes the intelligent play. Great passer and his shots decent. Looks like he will eventually be an elite #2 Dman to me.
  10. Wow that should be an exciting line to watch. Once Pettersson adapts to smaller ice after a few games I think he will be fine.
  11. I see Juolevi showing us why he was picked 6th overall this WJC. Salo said he’s improving in men’s league and he was already good before in WJC. Leading scorer for Dman in his draft year. I don’t really get why Juolevi was getting picked on a bit but I guess it’s cause of Tkatchuk? Sergachev does look really good though as well
  12. If he keeps this pace in the SHL and dominates the WJC I think he will play for Vancouver next season. The guy definitely needs to gain strength though so you never know. Another year in SHL playing centre wouldn’t be the end of the world. I wonder if hes he’s going to play centre or wing at WJC this year.
  13. No one predicted he would be this good. Leading the league as a rookie is the best possible trajectory he could be having. If he gains strength, he could be a top 10 scorer someday.
  14. I wonder how much influence Brackett has had on recent drafts, since he was promoted to head of amateur scouting in 2015.
  15. I agree. It’s annoying when some guys say he’s too good for Utica next season. For one, we want him to develop into a centre. So to do that he will probably have to learn that in Utica. If he plays on the Canucks next season it won’t be as a centre.
  16. Average showing? Gadjovich played great today. I’m confused.
  17. Drafting potential star Petterson and this Russia series has shown that our 2017 draft was sublime, and Benning should get at least a 3 year extension. Lind and Gadjovich both showed really well in the games where I saw them.
  18. Yeah he can throw as well. It will be nice to get some grit on the big club.
  19. He’s a pain in the arse to play against, especially in front of the net. Love this guy.
  20. I'd like to see Gaudette, Petterson, Dahlen, Lind,Gadjovich and Juolevi all playing in Utica to start next season. Then I want the games Televised.
  21. Lind was probably the best player on the ice in the first period.
