Consistently skating hard on the back check and lifting opponent's sticks like we saw Jake doing last season. Yeah, he's a pretty good 200 foot player. He has incredible awareness and iq in all zones, not just the offensive zone. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His scoring is getting a lot of hype as of late (which is great) but I liked when the Canucks drafted him that he was good all around player. Boeser surprised me in that regard as well.

How has he looked on d? -Back checks -keeps his stick on the ice -looks engaged in his own zone tbh can’t ask for much more from a pure offense guy like pettersson. He’s not a defensive specialist but he’s not a liability or anything either. Solid in his own, outstanding in the other end 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havnt seen any of his SHL games though. How has he looked on d? He's so productive on offense because his opponents rarely have the puck. His +/- was the best in the entire SHL during both the regular and post seasons. In the playoffs he was only on the ice for 2 goals against...and 19 goals for. He backchecks hard and will initiate contact. Despite his low weight he still has the balance and hands to get the puck off his check effectively. His hockey IQ also allows him to turn a defensive play into a scoring opportunity with regularity. He'll do things like stop up to close down a passing lane, often selling that he's going to glide through the lane until his opponent passes. Then he suddenly stops, snags the puck and he's gone the other way. Got an unreasonable amount of breakaways from reading the play incredibly well which boosted his 5 on 5 numbers immensely relative to last year where he did much less scoring without the man advantage. 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember being so excited about a rookie. I was stunned by Brock's performance last year and really hoping Elias can make the adjustment and have a great rookie season as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This guy is the main reason I’m excited for this upcoming season. I think 2020 will definitely be more exciting, but it will be interesting to see how long it takes EP to start dominating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
