I just posted this to start some more 'how much does he weigh" arguments.  Source: Reddit.

Lol, I'll take the bait. 

 

Not sure what it is, but he does look more physically mature here. In a lot of the other pictures and videos we've seen he looks like a kid, this picture is all man.

If Pettersson is dominating the AHL, he gets called up sooner than later and should stick with the big club. This is what happened to Kucherov and he has taken off. If Pettersson is in the AHL for the full year, then he likely isn't too dominant.

 

I agree with your sentiment that we need to build a strong AHL team as a legitimate farm system to feed the big club, but it's hard to see someone like Pettersson stay there too long when he has already dominated a men's league in Sweden. I won't be disappointed if he starts the year in the AHL and even get a fair share of games, but he's the most likely player to transition early and it'll likely be as a winger to Sutter, who is a good support veteran for him to get into the NHL game (not a long term solution). It'll be interesting to see how long it'll take for Pettersson to eventually get to center, but Sutter has shown that he can play wing as well, so it could be a good tandem to get Pettersson some starts there at the NHL level.

 

If Pettersson is dominating the NHL their will be no need for him to go and dominate the AHL. He never see's the AHL, and doesn't want to ever see it. He is a generational player and will look like one from the start.

If he looked like that last summer he goes 1 or 2 overall.

Love it when they put the jerseys on...
 

 

The feeling I get watching this is almost sexual :blink:

 

EP is going to be a sensation, but I don’t think enough people realize just how good Dahlen is too.

For some reason I didn't think Pettersson was playing in the young stars tourney ?   But I keep seeing him advertised with it on Canucks official instagram posts

Yeah, I thought so too? Maybe it was just prospect development camp that he was skipping?

Well let's hope this is the case, but let's see how he looks in preseason first. There are very few "generational" players that aren't taken 1st overall.

This term gets way too overused and this is a perfect example. Every generation should only have one..maybe two generational talents. Every superstar is not considered a generational talent. 

 

IMO Crosby and Ovechkin are the only two generational players in the league. Not  Tavares, not Karlsson, not Malkin, not Kopitar. 

 

I guess McDavid is making a case for himself now too.

Goal scored by number 14 Elias Pettersson, assisted by number 53 Bo Horvat and number 43 Quinn Hughes. The time of the goal 19:50 of the first period. WOOO!! ;)

 

Just trying it out lol

Other overused terms in hockey:

Still hope he's goes with #40 instead of 14.  EP40 has a nice ring to it, and from the sigs I saw he uses that number in it as well. 

I really doubt anyone will touch number 14 for awhile. That's disrespectful to Burrows.
