DownUndaCanuck Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 DIdn't take him to warm up and get used to the SHL then. I was always confident he'd score at this level, the big question will be how it translates to the smaller, more physical NA hockey rink... I'd like to see him over in the AHL to start next season and just see what happens with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see him perform at the WJC....... 3 hours ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: LOL. Kid's getting points quicker than I can check the stats. He's now on a scoring rate that would be 3rd all-time among SHL U20s (he just passed Gradin and is nipping at Forsberg's heels). Would be amazing if he can maintain anything even close to this pace over the whole season. Forget about maintaining this pace, he's not coasting, he's still accelerating. Wonder what he'll do next week? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given where he was ranked by many, I have a feeling several teams had him closer to 7-10 than #5. We may still have got him anyways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what he'll do next week? I think it's also important to keep in mind that he's still playing at about 165 lbs. Imagine what he could potentially be doing with another 10-15 lbs of muscle added to his frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'm still stunned by that 1-timer. That was a fast pass that a lot of NHLers would have stopped first and then taken their shot. This kid truly is special. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only move 3 spots back, so might as well finish as low as possible if playoffs are out of the picture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrago Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I was reading this thread this morning and left it on this thread. When I just got back on I got the message go to the first of 111 new posts. My first thought was oh no what happened to Pettersson. Being a Canuck fan makes you pessimistic. Thankfully my first thought were wrong. Congratulations Elias on a great game I'm glad for the good news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not to high jack Pettersson's prospect post, but we are so close to having a very good prospect pool that should meld into a very good pro team. This is why I am all for moving as many vets between now and the TDL, as if we can get another 1st and a couple more seconds, we will have an incredible core of young prospects, and a very good, group of young pro's. And to underline what Adash Sant has said, it is not that you are guaranteed the 1st over all if you tank, but you are guaranteed a maximum of 3 spots from where you finished, and again as Adash pointed out "we were 1 point from picking 7th OA, last year" It is only one year,and Benning has illustrated that he can sign UFA at decent prices, that can add to the team.......so move the players needed to get additional early picks, and make this year our last at the bottom........"IF" Pettersson continues his development on the same accent as he has shown recently, along with Gaudette, Goldoblin, Dalen, Juolevi, Lind and Demko, putting pressure on Benning to make room on the big club, there will be a lot of movement anyways, it seems like the most logical thing to do is, move vets as they come into demand, and pick up those extra picks...... I have liked the way the Canucks have played, but not as much as these kids have impressed me! Give me a top 5 OA, another later 1st round pick and a couple more seconds, and we will be well on our way into the "new" NHL........darn if I am not just a little bit hyped! I sure hope he (Pettersson) continues to gain strength and power. Cause he doesn't have any problems in the skill or IQ area's!

To tell professional players to do worse than their level best/ to actively sabotage their play so you can 'tank', is as unprofessional, counterproductive and stupid as it gets. You can't on one hand, be all for 'solid character guys who aren't complete, self-entitled a$$holes' and then expect these same players to chuck their integrity away and commit fraud/put up with fraud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well....Arizona worked their "stealth" tank on NO goalie this year, and the year that Tampa got Stamkos, they dropped a zillion points from the year before.......Toronto traded a lot of players, and built from the ground up.....there are plenty of examples of "Tanking" I don't advocate, a complete tear down, but moving 2 of Edler, Baertschi, Del Zotto, Sutter, Markstrom, Dorsett plus Vanek, will open spots and gives us picks. It is not a sin! As for the "Fraud" comment...........it is not fraud....where the hell did you come up with that one? But to get back on point.............Pettersson sure had a great game! Don't you think! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
