He got a 10 min game misconduct one game when he forgot to tuck his jersey. So if you took that away he only has 2 PIM.

Wasn't aware...I guess I have been following his Champion League stuff where he has been a little disturber at times and forgot those stats are separated.

 

Guess Gretzky would have led that league in PIM if you get 10 mins for untucking.....:lol:

Maybe its Elias, not a new PMD as our PPQB on the new horizon? 

 

I've seen a few articles.  The Hockey News has a weekly hot prospects report. A few weeks ago they mentioned it would be redundant to put him in every week???  :lol:

 

Here is some more;

Yeah, he's definitely getting his due in hockey prospects circles. The mainstream NA sporting press attention will come once he's actually playing games over here.

 

Just look at Sweden right now. Pretty much whenever Pettersson scores a goal, he trends number one on Twitter over there for the next several hours.

How many goals has he scored in the last 10 or so games? Seems to me as though he went quite a while without any goals and then just exploded.

8 goals in last 9 games.

 

Went goalless for his first 8 games and then yeah, he kinda exploded.

Jesus.

 

In junior that would be insanely impressive. In SM-Liiga that would be incredibly impressive. In Swe-1 that would be impressive. 

 

But to do this in the SHL as a 19 year old? Just wow.

I have a feeling that, in a few years time, four NHL teams will be wondering how the hell they let Elias Petterson slip through their fingers...

they thought he was to small or glass was better :D lol. the rise of makar, hischier, and heskianen really helped us out lol.

And if he plays ~50 games (ie: close to the full season), he very likely will set a new SHL U20 record for total points (the current record is 54 points).

Wouldn’t world juniors though prevent him from playing that many games? One opportunity that could arise for him is if he doesn’t make the Olympic team, he’ll most likely be the best player in the SHL for those two weeks as all the really good players will probably be in the olympics. Might be a good opportunity for him to pad his stats?

Didn't consider that wrinkle.

 

Växjö has 4 games during the WJC and 1 game scheduled during the Olympics (when the league mostly shuts down). So he could miss 5 games. He's missed 1 already this season.

 

So I guess he could still play 46 SHL games, if he also played at the WJC and Olympics.

 

At his current season points/GP, over 46 games he'd actually tie Nilsson at 54 points.

 

If he keeps up a similar rate to recent weeks, he'd probably finish the season with 60-70 points.
