Check that....We will have the best set of center's in the league within 3 years...! Pettersson is an amazing talent. I see no reason why he couldn’t be (right now) a top offensive center, because we have Bo and Sutter to take the harder Dzone matchups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it matters too much where he plays this year...if he was a center all year he would not be with Horvat or (probalbly Boeser) so he may end up with say 20 goals and 30-40 assists...if he plays with Bo and Boeser he gets 30 goals and 40 assists....and that is a minimum people....! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have felt he is a player capable of 70 plus points in his first year. He will get points on the power play where other players couldn't. He will make space for Boeser when players should be keying up on Boeser and he will get chances when teams take Boeser's space away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Ward Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I have a feeling that Jaromir Jagr might be the only 5th OA that will be better than EP when his career is over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zduck14 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Ben Kuzma@benkuzma Pettersson's best line when pressed about his weight and how it's an issue for many and not him: "I'm trying to bulk up to 200 pounds. I'm just kidding. I don't even know what my weight is today — I think it's around 177." #Canucks 11:30 AM - May 25, 2018 50 See Ben Kuzma's other Tweets I feel like if he's up to 177 at the end of the season that it won't be unreasonable at all for him to get to camp at about 185.

It has already been corrected a few times that Elias did not say 177. He said 77, as in kg. That is 169.5 pounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Hearing JB say he only wanted Pettersson to put on muscle and doesn't think his weight is an issue was encouraging for me. I had been a bit concerned about his weight. Given his height, you just want him to be 200lbs though, right? Lots of super skilled, smart, slippery players. Looking forward to seeing this thread moved to "Current Roster" Edited May 27, 2018 by luckylager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias said 177 he was not talking in Kg. They were talking his weight in lbs before that and he said 177. Hockey as a rule uses lbs . If he had said it in KG's he wouldn't have said he was aiming for 200 lbs. Or that 200 in kg's would be lol. So to correct it for good Elias said 177 and he was aiming for 200. He would not have said I am 77 kg's aiming for 200 lbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing this thread moved to "Current Roster" if he tops out at 190 he's good....he's elusive, doesn't need to be 200lbs and with his frame I'd be surprised if he can get there. He will always we tall and lanky. But as long has his core and legs are strong as ox! he's good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the harry Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) With two experienced winger Petterrson should have no problem to play at Center. Granlund - Pettersson - Eriksson or with more offensive power: Eriksson - Pettersson - Vanek That's just a great scoring second line, don't you think?

Sorry Cory, but I think it was more a hint of sarcasm towards all the talk about him bulking up in the Canadian press and amongst the fans. A Scandinavian would never speak about his weight measurement in lbs, until he has lived in a country that uses lbs. He was speaking about he last weight measurements before the WC, and clearly said 77... I am sure he was speaking about kgs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said 177, get over it and cut your losses. Even 3 months or so ago his weight on eliteprospects was 172, so you think he lost close to 3 pounds? I believe the analysts, journalists and EP more than i believe you. And its much easier to believe he gained 4 pounds during a playoff and WC stretch, rather than losing 3 pounds.

Have you spoken to EP, or have you heard him give any other informations about his weight, than the posted telephone interview??? I can definitely not hear him say 177 in the interview. I stated clearly I was sure, he spoke about kgs...I never said it was a fact, but until you can prove differently, I stand by my statement. The only thing of interest in you post is Elite prospects had him at 172lbs 3 month ago... the rest is speculation. And PS. I like @cory40 and enjoy his posts... More than I can say for this garbage reply of yours. Edited May 27, 2018 by spook007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
