Draft prospects look pretty good at that as well.... I guess Salo is teaching him that slapper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a top 10 pick, I'd be willing to trade some real assets to acquire it. Outside the top ten, I think you need to be conservative with what you are willing to pay. This is a strong draft in the top 10 or so picks, after that it becomes more of a normal draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogersTowell Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Today's performance should tie Pettersson for first in the SHL at 23 points in 18 games. In the SHL there is only one player under 20 in the top 50 in scoring. It's hard to know which season of Forsberg's to compare with Pettersson as he was 18 for the entire 91-92 season and 19 for the entire 92-93 season while Pettersson was 18 at the start of this season and turned 19 last week. He's starting to look like he might match Forsberg's 92-93 season, however, which would be a tremendous accomplishment, although hard to predict what the NHL holds for Pettersson being such a different style. I loved that diving play for the puck to break up the play in his own zone and give his team mates a 2 on 1. His highlights are always worthy of watching. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me a bit of a young Wayne Gretzky - although I think the calibre of defence and opposition in general is higher now and he's more like a Gretzky light. I don't really like making the comparison but he has the vision, playmaking skills and hands to make the comparison valid to some extent, not to mention the slight frame. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ll admit that I questioned the pick when it was made because we were inundated with positive reports about guys like Glass and Vilardi from the media. Would anyone trade this kid for Glass right now? Would you trade this kid straight-up for Hirschier? Don't think I would! :^) 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I would! :^) That's a tough one, Nux. They both have huge potential and will likely be big game changers on their individual teams. Their value is probably close to the same as well. For the Nucks, I would hang onto Pettersson, as goal scoring is such a problem for the team. Hopefully a top pairing rhd will be chosen in the upcoming draft and can be playing alongside joulevi in 2 or 3 yrs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember early in his SHL season, he'd pass up shots to try to setup teammates with amazing passes. Created quite a few goals but also saw several gilt edged chances flubbed by teammates who just weren't playing at Elias' level. At some point (whether coaching or his own decision), he decided to be a little more selfish and take shots when he could see golden opportunities to score. The results speak for themselves (9 goals in his last 10 games). 3 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I would! :^) I wouldn’t trade this kid for any of the other top ten picks outside of Heskainen maybe. I would be very hesitant to even do that. EP has a skill set and vision combined with dynamic play that this club has not had in a young prospect since Bure. As good as the twins are/were, they always lacked a dynamic aspect. They slowed it all down and played a chess game waiting for a mistake and then scoring. EP looks like a player who could create plays out of thin air anytime he is on the ice.

We are looking for elite prospect and EP has the potential to be exactly that... if he he doesn't get to where we hope for so be it, but he has a potential we haven't seen here for many years. Wouldn't swap him for anything not named McD or Matthews.... 2 1 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just move a couple of veterans, so that we fall in the standing enough to be there......... Could you imagine getting another 1st and another 2nd......it could happen We are so close! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
