That's exactly what this is. Such a fun time to be tracking canucks prospects. Boeser for the last couple years now then gaudette now Peterson. 

 

Like many, I had my doubts regarding petterson. Those doubts are gone. Poof. Out the window. Baring any extreme setbacks we have an ELITE  forward on our hands. I have noo doubt.

I think many doubted his weight (me included), so I always held my expectations for EP in check just incase he doesn’t adapt to the NHL. Now, however, I believe he can be a PP specialist in the NHL even if 1C doesn’t work out for him.

 

Wanted Heiskanen at the draft, but now I want to tattoo EP on my buttcheeks.

Thanks. Seems to be out right now. Does it cut out during intermissions and come back on when the next period starts?

 

Side note, this kid is unreal.

 

Edit: Still not getting it. No live stream of today's game?

Pettersson getting it done in both ends of the ice. And finding a way to score points off of defensive plays. Nice! ::D

 

Getting bored of just seeing all those eye popping offensive zone plays. So Elias gives us a good D zone poke check highlight. ;) 

Athleticism on display with that poker. Kid is having a blast out there.

Benning's number one priority right now should be finding someone to play with Pettersson that will ensure he is not abused (or even touched) when he comes over here to play. Pettersson is going to be our Gretzky and Benning really needs to find our Semenko or I fear Elias will be injured more often than not. We cannot let this kid take the abuse the Sedins have endured over the years.

Maybe he got him in the same draft! Gadjovich could be a great complimentary player for EP. He’s great in front of the net and Pettersson’s deceptive cross ice passes seem like a match made in heaven for Gadjovich.

This isn't the Semenko era....players don't need as much protection...plus he will be playing with Brock and there is always Jake and Zack (coming) and then Gadjovich as well.

 

We don't need a Semenko but Zack and Gadj. are going to be pretty close to that anyway....

...He sees the play so far in advance...it's not fair to the opposition.

 

We have our franchise player and his cohort's Bo and Boeser....

Rollieo, do you think Maroon gets to play with McDavid because of his skill? Do you think the Penguins gave up a 1st for Reaves because of his offensive prowess?

I know it is a different era but star players are still a target for some of the rats around the NHL. There needs to be a deterrent, particularly in the playoffs, to ensure liberties are not taken against your star players. Jake does not scare anyone and I don't think we can count on Gadj or Zack to fill that role at this particular time.

IMHO we will need a pack mentality to protect Elias in his early years and the one tough guy that will deter the likes of Ferland and Tkachuk from taking liberties.
