I wonder if he could be someone, when healthy and strong again, who could make a huge improvement in his draft + 1 season? I could definitely see him having a much, much better year next year. I'm still hoping we go with someone else though haha. Mittlestadt would look great in Canucks colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year Hudler, Hemsky, and Sharp come off the books and are all likely to be replaced with ELC. Yeah this is what i thought as well, Nill has options but not according to some on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ - Hischier 2. PHI - Patrick 3. DAL - Vilardi 4. COL - Heiskanen 5. VAN - Pettersson (and the crowd groans with confusion, again) 6. LV - Glass 7. ARI - Makar 8. BUF - Tippett 9. DET - Liljegren 10. FLA - Vesalainen Zero chance imo that Mittlestadt doesn't go before several of the guys you list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson is probably the skinniest hockey player I have ever seen. So no, not a huge fan of either pick, at least not in the five hole this year.

Toews Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Teams also use the interviews to ask players about their teammates or players they might have played with in the past. I remember Eichel saying that his interviews had a lot of questions on Noah Hanifin. Don't read too much into the interviews. Its quite possible that they are interviewing Petersson to ask about someone like Liljegren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from though At 5 I'd be upset with Petterson knowing we have the assets to move in to the 10-15 spot where he could be available. There are 4-6 teams between 7 and 15 that could use a D man like Tanev that could possibly be convinced to give up their 1st + allowing us to grab Petterson there and someone else at 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't my top choice but I'd be fine with it. I'd love it if we could move Tanev for a first in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think Pettersson will have a really good interview, be enthusiastic, say all the right things. He knows Dahlen was traded to the Canucks, and would probably love to start his NHL career with someone familiar and who he had success with. Also, he'd be joining the Sedins' team. Those guys are legendary in Sweden. Probably a very exciting possibility for him. If he's never been to Vancouver before, he'd probably be thrilled as well to play in this city. Pettersson is also fairly slight at around 160 lbs or so, he'll need to bulk up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'd be kind of frustrated if we went another way again but I also realize I don't know anything much about it except for what little I have watched or read. I'll get over my disappointment pretty quickly if we do reach for something a little different I'm sure. I really like Olli now and I didn't much then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they draft the next Bure-esque type player. I want to see speed, skill, goals, playmaking, excitement. Maybe Mittelstadt, Necas or Pettersson.
