Still good to develop chemistry with Pettersson, and hopefully Carlsson comes back and they can ply together. Would be a lot better if these two were over here in the CHL or AHL.

Hughes, Willander D-Petey, Hronek That will be a fantastic top four. What’s really good is Hughes and Hronek are both still really young. So they will both be in their primes still when Willander and D-Petey are their partners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the beauty of the Hronek trade, the time line envisaged by management. IMO thy're seeing the team hitting it's prime in 2 more season 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have key core players entering their primes and getting big cap allocation, but (this regime) has young elc guys coming into the group to offset those big contracts. Alf hasn’t (honestly) felt this positive about our club since the Gillis years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some on the board can't remember the Gillis era or couldn't stand his arrogance. But other than inuries and suspensions he got this club realy close. I see PA as similar, plus he has a sounding board in JR in a further 2 season he has a lot of FA's coming up and the space to complete the job. When he took the mess over I couldn't see any way to improve, well IMO he's done just that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 On 8/16/2023 at 9:36 AM, Alflives said: Is D Petey more Edler or Ohlund? Alex Edler. Both were drafted in the 3rd round. Ohlund was basically a top pairing guy at one time until his eye injury. He could have been Victor Hedman lite. He had it all. D-Petey looks like he will have the same trajectory as Edler. Hopefully he is in Abby next season along with Lekkerimaki. Petey, D-Petey, Willander, Lekkerimäki, Höglander, Åman. The Swedish players are back in town… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say he is 6’3”-6’4”. The guy standing beside him, #33, is listed at 192cm or 6’4”. D-Petey looks to be the same height. If he can add on some weight he could be as big as Edler or Ohlund when he’s fully grown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still hopeful that Joni Jurmo and Kirill Kudryatsev keep on progressing. Indeed, it's exciting to think of those two pairings you mentioned.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Quote Pettersson kept his trademark physical presence every shift and he played with confidence, which he backs up with his work ethic that Komisarek saw at Canucks' Development Camp. He recalled Pettersson working through drills and approaching every rep with the same intensity, which translates to his game. "He's a disrupter on the back end and is constantly getting in the way. He's a smooth, mobile skater for his size, and like Jackson too, he'll initiate contact. He wants to win those battles and move pucks and we're helping him realize that untapped potential offensively as well. He showed a couple glimpses of getting up on the rush and is assertive and confident in all areas of the game," he said. Last season with Orebro HK, the 18-year-old Pettersson exuded confidence and tallied seven points (1-6-7) in 43 games. He returns to Orebro HK in the SHL this season and Komisarek expects him, and fellow 2022 NHL Draft pick Jonathan Lekkerimaki, to be key pieces of the team. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-prospects-are-laser-focused-at-world-junior-summer-showcase/c-345622482 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the cap keeps going up by then, it should be no problem re-signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
