The guy is so confident he's going to make it to the NHL. The AHL is a waste of time for this young man. NHL or back to Sweden another year. But he's got nothing to prove back home, so it's the NHL. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Like Boeser and Horvat before him, I highly doubt Petersson will see anytime in the AHL. He's pretty much guaranteed a spot on the Canucks... And not because of his pedigree but because of how damn talented he is. Fall can't come fast enough. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any league. Edited May 25, 2018 by ForzaTikare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I really like the approach that everyone (including Pettersson) seem to be taking regarding his size. We've seen with Virtanen, Hutton and Juolevi that simply hitting 200lbs doesn't make you more effective. The real goal should be to add strength in all areas, including quickness, balance, explosiveness, etc all on top of pure strength. It's a longer process (I'd expect around 3-5 years before we start seeing the benefits), but we end up with a much better player at the end of it. A prime example of this line of thinking is the progression of Scheiffle, who's now one of the best 2 wa centers in the league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually listen to the interview it really sounds like he says 77. I think he is being misquoted in all of the tweets. Being a swede, it would make sense that he was using the metric system. There was also a report going around maybe 2 or 3 months ago during his season that said his weight was up to 167 pounds. I don't think its reasonable to believe he has gained 10 pounds since then. Also, just Google "Elias Pettersson weight" and you'll see that the result is 77kg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, Pettersson does say 177. The last I posted was 172 lbs but that was from Botchford. I was even appreciative of the piece he wrote in the Province. Learned a lesson and will qualify my self when quoting Botchford like everybody else. ^ Wait. Is Botchford right then? 77 kg converts to just under 170 lbs.

250Integra Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Would you trust a journalist over the man himself? If he says he's 177lbs, then he is 177lbs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Botchford right then? 77 kg converts to just under 170 lbs. Here is a link to the interview the weight quote is coming from. They start talking about his weight at the 9 minute mark. He clearly says "77" when he says how much he currently weighs. http://ckstam.streamon.fm/listen-pl-9522?smc=10 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
