That would be great, if that's the case. On the other hand, for speed, Pettersson is quicker and faster; then again i suspect he's not going to be used in a defensive role very often -- and he might not always be playing as a center. Pettersson still might be better against McDavid though... his playmaking and shooting would require McDavid (and his linemates) to keep track of him. I think of Pettersson as an all-round forward. His skill set and vision make him good defensively and offensively... his size is the only weakness in his game. I think he has the least goals scored against 5v5 in the SHL this year. Half way through the season he was at 12 I believe. I hope he does make it at center. Could you imagine a 1-3 of Pettersson Horvat and Gaudette? DAMN!

I didn’t know Pettersson was so defensively responsible. Are there any top line centres that are under 170 lbs, who are Plus players? What did Hank weigh, when he was dominating - 180? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pettersson looks like a better option for conversion, but I think he is still the number one center they need, so they should keep him there. PP would be especially good -- I've been watching highlights (in place of recent games, tbh) and watched Pettersson pocket one timers the way that Boeser can. Imagine Pettersson on one side, Boeser on the other... and Gaudette/Horvat retrieving/setting up. The beauty of that would be that Boeser and Pettersson could fake shots/one-timers and set up others beautifully. Boeser and Pettersson are both excellent playmakers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a big list of stars in the Pettersson thread that were all in the 175-185 range. As a play making Ectomorph (Who have the highest strength to weight ratio of body types) 10 pounds should be plenty from him to compete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great 8 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 If Gaudette can produce like Kerfoot (who’s also a 5th round pick) I’ll be very happy, anything more is gravy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can FINALLY get lotto luck and get Dhalin, we could have a top core that could compete for Cups for the next decade.

Derp... Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Kerfoot definitely exceeded expectations this year. Only 8.7% of statistically similar players played over 200 games in the NHL and he has 44 point pace this season. It's probably the most successful anyone from his cohort has been in their rookie season ever. I don't have the ability to check that right now. Gaudette has around a 60% chance of being a 46 point player in the NHL. If he did what Kerfoot has done in terms of exceeding expectations we would be looking at our new 1C. 35 Points in his rookie season is a reasonable expectation imo.

Demko Dhalin Juiolevi Pettersson Bo Brock Gaudette Yes... and then we'd have the enviable problem of finding the money for them. And we'd have the memory of what it is to hold on to players too long... and to give too much away in the NMC/NTC area. We could manage a dynasty better than most... Look at what poor Chicago is going through now. Kane and Toews look like old men all of a sudden. And Seabrook even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The_Rocket Posted March 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2018 13 hours ago, Alflives said: I can’t remember, but did Henrik start as the third line centre, and see second PP time? I really think we need him to play the number 3 role. I wonder if he’s willing to play that role, after (kind of) experiencing it this season? I imagine that Bo and Sutter will be getting top 6 minutes for centres, even if Sutter’s line is primarily shutdown minutes. Remember at the start of this season when grandlund/Sutter/dorsett we’re getting the most minutes on the team? this lends itself to favourable matchups for pettersson/gaudette/gagner/whoever else might be centre next year sutters value to this team is deeply underrated. He shields the young guys better than any other player on the team 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Loui is going to be exposed, really no matter what even if he ends up being a 20 goal scorer again, Jim's going to protect the younger assets. My guesses would be Bo Brock Gaud Baer Grandlund Leipsic Virtanen tanev Gubransen edler (if he re-signs with us) stetcher/pouliot (if elder doesn’t re-sign). In the end we lose Sutter although, all of this can change depending on trades and free agent signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're set up to fare relatively well again this expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
