Then again Boeser played a ton of hockey and turned out alright for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I dont want to get my hopes up but what if Pettersson is Laine good, like what if he comes in and has a brock type year ? Do we dare to dream?just seems to me like we are all conditioned to think good things wont happen to us, and I love the sedins and everything, I mean, the are a huge part of this city, but it took them 6 years to become marquee players whereas teams like chicago and pittsburgh got ready made superstars who dominated from their first game on - do we dare to dream that we will get players like that ?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's a good point. In the Sedins case the fact they played together their entire careers prior to being drafted at the NHL allowed them to dominate on a much larger ice surface. Once they got here, it took them several years to become dominant because they had to work on and improve aspects of their games that they did not have to pay much attention to before. I think that Vancouver is finally benefitting from a much improved scouting, and realizing that it will take 2-3 years from drafting for a player to possibly be ready to make an impact at the NHL level, and are developing our prospects correctly. I think Pettersson's emergence has taken just about everyone by surprise, Gaudette looks REALLY promising so far, but compared to Boeser and what Pettersson has done in the SHL, seems almost pedestrian, but I see a lot of potential dominance to come from Gaudette as he adjusts, learns and adapts to the NHL. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he also leading the SHL scoring or at the very least leading in Points per game prior olympics and he wasnt selected. Ideally i prefer to see him in Utica.

Popular Post The_Rocket Posted April 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2018 Is Elias Pettersson even real? Like we couldn’t have actually gotten a player like this, right????? Bettman has to be playing a trick on us or something. I mean, how else can you explain it???? 19 yrs old and he’s already writing his name in history books. Is this real life?? 3 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsnet 650s morning show was just goshing over Pettersson's skating ability. His edge control on that series winner was unreal. We got some real good kids on the way. So stoked. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't. The kid has played more than enough hockey this season. Prospect camp, junior world championship, champions hockey league, full league schedule + play-offs into the finals. He should give his body some rest and start working out with Daniel and Henrik in the summer to be prepared for next year. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritty, not the top scorer but contributes in many ways. He is a slam dunk and a great example to the younger players. Another player who never takes a shift off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Betman even said we may of gotten the best player when he was here for the 2019 draft announcement. I think imac was giving him the gears on draft lotto not helping bottom teams. He just laughed and said ^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
