C Elias Pettersson - Växjö Lakers HC, SHL (2017, 5th, VAN) Part 2

[nowhereman]

Nu he isnt

Maybe the coaching staff think that hes a good shooter on the half boards on the PP, which he is, but that his game is lacking in other areas. If he'll be in the NHL next year, the Canucks would be rushing him. He needs to mature and grow.

Sorry, was leading prior to the World Juniors, where he missed more than a handful of games and lost his lead.

That said, I don't think a kid can put up such a historic season by just being a "good shooter on the half boards". Yes, that's his office but his game is far more well-rounded then you're giving him credit for.

2 goals so far in tonight's game. Anyone has any video/gifs?

 

[Drew Doubty]

2 goals today, 37 pts in 31 games. Had a couple goals in Vaxjo's most recent champions league game to take them to the finals as well but that doesn't show up in his point total for Vaxjo

It’s was 1 goal and 1 primary assist today I think. He now has 38 points in 31 games and has been playing centre since he returned from the world juniors. This kid is a stud.

Ah they must have changed the scoring since I last checked, still good production after a lil slump

He was playing C before the WJC I believe he started playing centre about 5 games prior to the WJC. Prior to that he was on the wing.

 

[BlueGreen]

He just scored a beautiful wrap around goal in the first period of today’s game. 39 points now with 2 more periods to go.

 

[Love]

He could go pointless for the rest of the season (12 games) and still have a more productive draft +1 season than Nicklas Backstrom. Just think about that...

 

[BlueGreen]

Pettersson scores again. 2 goals so far this game through 2 periods. He now has 40 points on the season. 1 more period to go to complete the hatty.

 

[BlueGreen]

It took 45 games for Backstrom to reach 40 points in his D+1 season. Pettersson did it in 32 and he ain’t done yet. This kid is a superstar.

Could be, let's not count our chickens just yet.

What the hell was 55 doing there?

 

[Elias Pettersson]

He's really good

 

[gretskidoo]

Ah, the player that supposedly can neither skate or shoot the puck manages to do both. Weird.

A power move and a lethal one timer definitely weren't in any scouting reports pre-draft.

Yeppers

Pretty much a lock at 2nd overall in a 2017 redraft

 

[elitepete]

He will be in the NHL next year, guy is amazing.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

He really didn't have the slapper last season, his shot was his one glaring weakness... Must have spent all summer working on his shot because now it's amazing.

He'd be #1 in a redraft and he should have been #1 on the draft floor.

 

[Tomas W]

And this guy got left out a non NHL Olympics for Sweden, can you believe it? I cant. Well, apparently the Swe coach is a moron, sadly.

He's always had a very good wrist shot but I haven't seen that one-timer before this season.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

How the hell can you leave a player like this out from the olympic roster? I can't understand that...

The Swedes must be stacked as hell.
