ForzaTikare Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Swedish media is saying EPs bigger brother "EP the older" is looking to europé for next season)(or even the second half of this, anyone think he would be an interesting grab and what would it assumably cost? https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/27331/emil-pettersson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Is Emil also a C, or can he play wing? His numbers don't look bad at all, but he's yet to get a chance in the NHL (at 24 years old). I don't think the cost would be too high, seeing as he's a former 6th round pick and if NSH doesn't consider him an NHL player (or they feel they have better prospects ahead of him). Absolutely I think this could be interesting, but only if he can play wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 If he’s talking about going back to Europe and is already 24 years old turning 25 this season I can’t see the ask being more than the 6th rounder they used to draft him.

Dazzle Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 He's posted some very nice AHL numbers. If there's no space for him on the main team, then he can play in Utica for a bit before being called up. It would make an interesting dynamic.

Nuxfanabroad Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Might have to go home to get his name sorted out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then eventually Pettersson and Dahlen in Vancouver. Maybe even an extra Pettersson to join them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emil has always played C from what i know, maybe some games at a wing, dont know actually, but his numbers in Milwaukee makes me wonder what kind of depth the preds have with him not recording a single NHL Game, i can see him filling a bottom 6 role in Van quite easily..

Nucker 67 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 These guys do not look related. Emil looks like he could be Elias' Dad, but he's only 4 years older lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Canucks should bring him aboard, It's been almost forever since we had brothers on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I've been following Emil for a while. Don't think he has top-6 upside, but he should be a decent bottom-6 guy. I'd say he's more NHL-ready then Adam Gaudette. So if the price is reasonable, I'd be game for adding him and sending Gaudette back to Utica to develop further. But he'd probably get squeezed out again once Sutter and Beagle are back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Also, there may not be much more to this "rumour" other than thinking that if Emil can't crack the NHL by the end of this year, he will likely choose to come back to Europe. And that is probably true. But as a center, it's pretty hard to get onto a team with Johansen, Turris, Bonino, Jarnkrok, and Sissons down the middle. If they had some injuries, maybe...but so far their Cs have been healthy. But moving to a team that would at least use him as an occasional call-up, and perhaps even get to play on the same team as his brother, might make him more inclined to stay, even if he's not a regular roster player.

The differences are fewer - the hair colour and the fact Emil has his man-face / facial hair and defined chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
