Popular Post Rollieo Del Fuego Posted April 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2018 ....Gee I wonder if he should spend some time in Utica...to learn the NA game.... Remember all the folks saying stuff like that... EP has shown he is the best player taken in the last draft already....he is going to take the NHL by storm... The kid doesn't take a night off...superhuman in many ways ...and don't forget the magic hands...! Just WOW...! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 granted we only see the highlights, but rarely does he shoot the puck anywhere near the goalie. Even in tight on his goal today, it's top corner. Shoot em where they ain't kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how long but even the best players have a big learning curve when they first break in to the NHL. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just WOW...! while I am equally excited, we all need to realize that dominating in the SHL is not necessarily a path to NHL success right away. We've seen that time and again, the top SHL players come over and can't cut it in the NHL. There will likely be an adjustment period and it's not impossible that he spends some time in Utica 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unheard of. He may need time in the AHL but he showed this entire year he learns faster than he has any right to. I don't think 65-70 games with the Canucks is unrealistic Edited April 21, 2018 by Zhukini 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Definitely sheltered minutes to start. But I think he'll make his mark on the PP. We'll probably sub him in for Baer/Goldy/Leipsic for a few games to begin with, when he does come up. Then fold him into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 65-70 games with the Canucks is unrealistic I agree completely, in no way do I think he'll bust, I think he's going to be a franchise player, fnally. I just think that dominating the SHL doesn't mean instant success in the NHL and I hope that they aren't against putting him in the spot to be most successful. BB had a great first half, but once guys figured him out, his effectiveness decreased and the grind of the season was evident. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 EP seems to be the type of player that's constantly learning. Taking in new information and adjusting on the fly. I think he makes the team right off the bat (partially due to the fact that there's going to be a lot of pressure to get him in the lineup) and starts out relatively quietly, getting sheltered minutes and chipping in here and there, but by the halfway point of the season is our most productive forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rob_Zepp Posted April 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2018 Just like OJ yesterday, he looked slow and tentative and was beaten to a lot of pucks. He looks game but isn't ready for the NA game while playing in this soft league. I was expecting so much more out of a fifth overall pick. I mean he is trying but clearly is close to being a bust which is too bad as I really was pulling for him. Hey, just wanted to see if I could right a summary of a game I didn't watch to make sure I got a narrative across. Did I do ok? 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted April 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Only two players have ever won both the regular season and playoff scoring titles in the same season in SHL/Elitserien history. Pettersson is poised to become the third. And he’d be the only U20 player to ever accomplish this feat.

Gaudette Celly Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Teammate Rosén (who's 30) the only other player even close and over 1PPG, and Elias is close to 1.5. The +/- is crazy, too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted April 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Add in the record setting U20 regular season scoring and 1 point from matching the all time U20 playoff mark, and this is truly a season for the ages.

Popular Post DrJockitch Posted April 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2018 No way this kid is playing anywhere other than Vancouver next year. The Canucks wont want to let him out of their sight. Even if they don't play him every day or heavy minutes at the start. 2 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, it's turning into a blowout considering GP. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
