Their chemistry at the summer camp was pretty apparent though, and management hasn't made it a secret that they envision them playing together in the future.

I don't disagree, just my two cents on the "hope they are able to play apart" portion of your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Just now, ice orca said: Hope he can put some meat on that bonerack he gets pushed off the puck pretty easily. So did the Twins. Better to have the skill and the frame (6' 2") like the Twins have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Zepp Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 3 hours ago, NuckNation_ said: Petersson: The mark of a New Canucks Era Mixed reactions when the Canucks selected Elias Petersson 5th overall at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft in Chicago. Many were predicting Vancouver to select Portland Winterhawk Cody Glass, however, Petersson was not an off the board pick. Petersson always ranked in the top 10 and even within the top 5 on some rankings. I was a bit shocked when GM Jim Benning selected the Swedish centre as it seemed Glass was the obvious choice. As the days go by since the draft day, the more and more I love this pick. Petersson is playing in Sweden’s tier 2 league against fully grown men; compared to Glass who was playing in the WHL (players his own age/size). While watching Petersson’s highlights, you instantly see a player oozing with talent; unreal hands, great speed, and an eye for offense. Putting up 19 goals and 22 assists against competition bigger than himself, this pick definitely fills an organizational need for Vancouver as they were one of the lowest scoring teams in the league this past season. Petersson is a special prospect for the Canucks. Drafting a player that has the tools and potential to be a first line center is putting together a succession plan once the Sedin’s decide to retire. Vancouver continuing its Swedish legacy, many believe the selection of Petersson also came with the bonus of him playing with fellow Canucks prospect Jonathan Dahlen, who was acquired from Ottawa in exchange for veteran winger, Alex Burrows. Petersson and Dahlen both play on Timra tier 2 Swedish league and also at the World Juniors representing Sweden. The two seem to find each other well and have good chemistry, almost like another pair of Swedes in Vancouver. For Petersson to be successful at the NHL level he will have to add muscle to his 6’2 frame as he currently weighs 165lbs. That being said it is impressive that he is able to compete at that size against full grown men. A Petersson-Horvat 1-2 punch down the middle will be lethal for Vancouver in years to come. First ever post, use of a well-known name but with a text character added for differentiation, a collection of material from other threads that have created lots of dissenting views..... Carry on, this is going to end well. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I don't like the idea of drafting or trading for players you think might have good chemistry together. That never seems to work out in the long run. Just get talented players and let chemistry develop organically. You never know who'll end up having great chemistry and quite often it's not who you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
