Of course the dream is dead. No points and league lead lost. When it rain it pours.

Regardless hes GOT to hit the gym before next year and add on a bunch a weight. Still too skinny but once he gets to that weight WATCH out. Some said he had the most talent in the 2017 draft i cant wait to find out :nod:

He looked impressive when on the ice today, they lost 2 - 1 but Brynäs was too fast. The difference between he and Boqvist is night and day, one relies all on speed and deception where Pettersson seemed to play a power skill game who slows the game down crossing the blueline.

Many very good players who play as 18 yr olds in the World Juniors don't produce. Boeser's only WJC was as an 18 year old. Petterson playing and not producing as an 18 year old in that tournament isn't surprising or concerning at all.

What Petterson is doing this season in the SHL is just mind blowing and historic. And even if he does disappoint in the WJC's, if he continues at the pace he is scoring at, he's still going to be considered one of the best players not currently playing in the NHL.

I do hope that the Canucks don't try to pack on the weight with him though, even though he is slight, I'd rather see them let him develop more naturally. If he plays smart, he won't need to be much more than 180 lbs.

It feels so great to be a Canucks fan right now with Boeser lighting up the NHL and the best is yet to come with Pettersson waiting in the wings.

God I would love for the Canucks to snag Boqvist

Believe he's referring to Jesper Boqvist, the NJ 2017 2nd rounder. Unless he is talking about Adam, in which case he's not really a good comparison because of the difference in position.

Think he is talking about Adam because he references Brynas, the team that he plays for and the team that Pettersson most recently played.

Knee (likely some type of ligamentous). Never made it back after something like 7 minutes of ice time.
Listed as ‘day to day’.

Is that his 2nd injury this year (possibly both being knee injuries)?
