How much weight does Petey gain over the Summer?

[*Buzzsaw*]

We all know Petey can dangle and we all know he can shoot... but he is a beanpole and he does get knocked down in the corners regularly.  (even though he can lay the hits too... )

 

So the question for all you EP40 fans.... How much muscle is he going to pack on during the summer?

 

We can revisit this at Training Camp and see if the majority opinion was right and who predicted correctly.

How many threads are you going to make this offseason? Over under 50?

Least this ones positive

[6string]

Over his career 20 - 25 pounds. This off season no more than 10 -12 lbs.

And how many threads are you going to badmouth because you don't have the imagination to create one yourself?

Stupid a$$ thread...

Petey gains weight:

 

CDC: OMG HOW MANY CHEESEBURGERS DID YA DRIVE IN TO THAT GUT OF YERS?!

[-AJ-]

A few pounds. His style is not a heavy game and I can't see him ever being much more than 185 at most. Sites already have him at 176lbs, so I don't see him gaining much, nor do I see him needing to gain much weight.

[Lancaster]

Isn't the NHL too tough and he's returning back to Sweden?  lol

[DrJockitch]

The stupidity of this weight obsession for prospects on CDC is overwhelming.

This is not the 90s dead puck era.  

This is more of a power to weight ratio sport now.  Acceleration, quick stops and turns are more important and these are aided by strength and hindered by weight.

Well, it definitely needed it's own thread ! Don't want to ruin the Pettersson thread with these important questions !                                                            ( /s )

[ReggieBush]

5-7 pounds at the absolute most

[coastal.view]

2.45 ounces

[Timråfan]

Is the players forced to take anabolic steroids nowadays?

What am I, psychic? What a dumb thread

That was my idea when I saw this thread ...to say like 783 grams...

[Maniwaki Canuck]

5 at the most, and not through any attempt to "bulk up".  Petey himself said that his main aim is to get faster, and that's what makes sense for his game. 

[tas]

he wants to work on his conditioning so the team should just hook him up with the twins. pettersson's gifts combined with the sedins' fitness and durability would be unstoppable. 

[Bob.Loblaw]

Zero weight gain he will be the superior Mason Raymond

[-DLC-]

My guess is 5 lbs or so.

 

He's tall/lanky with a fairly high center of gravity but bracing with legs apart/knees bent can also help with that as he's fighting for a puck. I like him just the way he is...more experience will arm him with "what to expect" and how to prepare for it (too).  Thing is, his body type likely doesn't give way for being too stalky...he can gain a little muscle mass, sure, but his agility is a big plus so don't want him to gain in areas only to lose in others in a tradeoff.

Core strength, balance and conditioning , sure.  But don't force a round peg into a square hole here.  We need to assign a heavyweight to him so he can just play his game.   As Schenn is to Quinn, Petey needs a Pitbull.

None. He'll gain Kg's. He's european.
