I was high on his upside like you, but I don't think any of us thought he'd be putting up 1.25 PPG 40 games into his rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have probably assumed he would be sitting at closer to 35 through 40 games. I didn't expect this level of dominance at all, but I did think he was going to do extremely well. I said about a month before the draft to @canucklax that I thought he could possibly have the highest offensive upside in the entire draft though. I just saw him as being a risky pick, boom or bust. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if there's any chance for him to be here before the end of this season, they look poised to do a deep run in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Did we have this many poster feuds back when the team was winning? I can’t remember but it seems like we got along better in those days. Here’s hoping once the rebuild’s done we won’t have so much to fight about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusting Benning on this one, and very excited to follow Elias this coming year. On 2017-06-23 at 5:34 PM, canuckledraggin said: Benning just made Pettersson and Dahlen the Sedin twins. Put the kid on those Russian "vitamins" and he can play in North America next year.

Whatever, we've done this too many times before......let Benning play at whatever he's playing at, I don't have to watch it, at least he will be enjoying the Canucks On 2017-06-23 at 6:09 PM, Oregon.Duck said: The salt is strong in this thread. Notice how Vilardi fell to #11, while we arm chair GMs were biting at the chomps to pick him at #5! This just shows how little we know compared to these GMs that have spent hours with these prospects and the scouts that have spent days analyzing their play and scrutinizing everything. From what I hear, Elias Pettersson has elite potential if he can fill out his frame. Possibly one of the most dynamic players in the draft. Instead of being happy with the amazing player we receive, we already set this kid up in our minds for failure. WE GOT ELIAS LOOKING REALLY GOOD TODAY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Jim coulda easily acquired an extra 4th round pick AND picked Pettersson 6th or 7th. ...should've traded down one spot ...should trade Cassels for a 7th rounder etc etc I'm almost tempted to start a list of all these "bright" ideas, could have 40 picks by now for the 2018 draft.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 All this tripping down memory lane made me wonder what I said on draft day. Not too bad. At least I didn’t embarrass myself. Would’ve been nice to have thrown out a bold prediction that Elias was gonna shake up the world, but I’ve never really been “that guy” I suppose. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the most part Everybody wants the same thing Some just don't see things through rose coloured glasses like others do Hopefully things will get better for the team , and I am sure the ones called haters or negative won't mind being wrong if it goes good How will the ones overly positive and trusting respond, if by chance that our 'prospects" don't pan out as NHL stars or even players? This will set back the team another 10 yrs of what we have now I highly doubt anyone wants that for the team This is a discussion board It is a good thing that people care enough about the team and express it We are talking about hockey, a game, some of the comments get taking personally when different, which starts the feuding It has been said in Canada, hockey is like a religion in this case Some will have the faith, no matter what happens and just believe while others need some proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
