No idea where Elias Pettersson went, but good thing Jason Dickinson shows up as our 3rd line centre lmao. There's absolutely no way the Canucks shouldn't be ranked in the top tier in the league in terms of centre depth if we look at Petey, Miller, and Bo down the middle. All 30 goal scorers. I don't think a single team in the league can match that kind of goal scoring prowess down the middle. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nux_win Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) I wouldn't get too upset about it. These ranking lists are just bored journalists trying to make some money in the off season. Or in other words they are pretty much meaningless. The only thing that matters is wins and losses and we're going to have to wait a couple of months to see how that works out. GCG! P.S. - It is weird that they left Petterson off the center list and also left him off the winger lists, but it's not that weird considering the eastern based journalists neither know or care much about what goes on in Vancouver.

Heretic Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Maybe cause the weird Torontonian math, having 2 Petterssons cancel each other? LOL - I fine where they placed us - up to the boys to prove them wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Petttersson is on left wing with Pearson, Mikheyev and Kuzmenko. Right wings: Garland Boeser Podkolzin Höglander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 What's more believable to you: Hockey journalist simply forgets Elias Pettersson exists or Hockey journalist lists Elias Pettersson at the position he actually plays, not the position he occupies in Canucks fans fantasy lineups. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I go off the official NHL player page to see what position a player is classified as: https://www.nhl.com/player/elias-pettersson-8480012 NHL.com is probably wrong though. Travis Yost knows it all. EDIT: In fact, he knows better than the player pages for SportsNet, TSN, ESPN, HockeyDB, CBS Sports, etc that all list him as a centre. Man, that Travis Yost is pretty amazing. Edited August 8, 2022 by HKSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunjabiCanucks Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 At the end of the day if Petey plays C next year, we are stacked Kuzmenko Petey Garland Pearson Miller Boeser Mikheyev Horvat Podkolzin each player can put up 20 goals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that Travis Yost is pretty amazing. Actually nhl.com is often very unreliable with positions. Many times they list players like Pettersson who can play C/LW as just C. I don't think it really matters where Yost listed him, as this article looks like it was made solely to prop up the Leafs. He ranks the Leafs as 2nd, very questionable. Even without Cirelli, I'd easily take Tampa's C depth over Toronto's. Edited August 8, 2022 by Master Mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks official roster page on this website lists him as a centre, and is directly linked with NHL.com. So unless the Canucks themselves are wrong, I don't think there's any argument to this. Heck, TSN.ca themselves (which is the media outlet for Yost) lists Petey as a centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 If we were to consider our center depth as being: Miller Pettersson Horvat Lazar ... I would say that challenges for best center depth in the league. But as mentioned, they had pegged Pettersson as a LW. For what it's worth, that boosted our LW "ranking" to "Outperform", or the 2nd highest tier. Without him there, we would be stuck with Pearson, Mikheyev, Kuzmenko and Joshua, which would have dropped us to average (at best) in his left wing rankings.

Yep, can't list someone that'll be on waivers later this year then go on to say they have amazing C depth. Clearly the depth isn't that great if they're relying on Gaudette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
