BrockBoester Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) For reference, in an article from NHL.com about Elias Pettersson yesterday, the following quote seems to have unearthed a bit of dissent. Quote In preparation for his second NHL season, Pettersson bulked up during the summer but still looks fragile at 6-foot-4 and 175 pounds. In his mind, though, he's not worried, so why should others? So I'd like to ask the wonderful and intelligent posters of CDC to "weigh in" so to speak! Do you think Petey is actually 6'4? Vote above! Three days till pre-season puck drops! HYPE TRAIN FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RRypien37 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Most heights in professional sports are inflated. Some SIGNIFICANTLY. Also, not sure where you are getting this 6'4" for EP from. Edited September 13, 2019 by RRypien37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Pettersson look to be about the same height when they walked over to the press con yesterday? Q.E.M-F.D. By all reports, Marky is 6'6".

J-P Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 My guess is 6'3 and about 185 lbs. Guess there's official measurements coming, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 In 2018 he was listed as 6' 2" - 175 lbs. At the combine in 2017 he was 6' 1.75" - 165 lbs. If he put on more muscle like most young NHL guys do if they're smart, he'll still be 6' 2" but will weigh between 180-185 lbs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I’m really thinking the 6’4” was a mistake by the writer of that story; not an attempt to pad Petey’s stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whaleroad Train Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think his increased height is due to coming to Canada and becoming an Imperial sized Pettersson, instead of an metric sized Pettersson. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon.Duck Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I’ve heard that they list their height on skates. I can believe that Petey is 6’4 on skates. I buy it. 6’2-6’3 flat footed. Not a conspiracy I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Height inflation correlates proportionately to how tall or short you are. If you’re a tree like Chara or Myers, your height is going to be exact down to the millimetre, as it will constantly be brought up. Conversely, the shorter you are, the more leeway you get with rounding up. If you’re 5’10.5, you’re going to get spotted to 5’11 or maybe even 6’0. I’ve heard from multiple different people who’ve met him in person that there is no chance Johnny Gaudreau, listed at 5’9, is a hair taller than 5’6.
