C Mathias Emilio Pettersen (2018, 167th, CGY; traded to DAL)

[nanzenkills]

He's up to 41 pts in 28 games, good for fourth on the team. Looks like the three ahead of him are all 98s

He's starting to do really well in that league. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to adjust to this level when he got off to that slow start he had, but IIRC he's now averaging about 2 pts./game in his last 15 games or so. He's up to 19th in league scoring now, and from what I've checked, he's at least a year younger than everyone ahead of him in scoring.

 

[SirKillalot]

Gonna be interesting to see if he keeps up the progression.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

There are three other 2000 born players on the same South Kent team that may help provide reference points as the season progresses as well. It's way too early at this point but Pettersen is currently being outscored by the other 2000 born players on the team.

Nevermind, old post

When can he go to the CHL, or how long will he stay at this academy?

 

[flamebird]

CHL 2016, however I'm insure if he's considered an import or not

 

[Hansen]

If he gets drafted he should immediately become HFB's posterboy

I'm not sure exactly how it would work if he were to go to the CHL. Would he have to go in the import draft? Or would he go to the QMJHL based on where he is playing now?

He's committed to the University of Denver, but obviously, a lot can change between now and then, and de-commits from the NCAA seem to be really common nowadays.

If he gets drafted he should immediately become HFB's posterboy

Either him or Dustin Rose.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Pretty sure he would go through the import draft like Provorov and Dennis Yan.

would not be a galchenyuk situation where he played in chicago for a couple years before juniors to be normal OHL draft eligible?

I'm not as familiar with Galchenyuk's situation. Someone could probably give a better answer than myself, but with Pettersen not being a US citizen, I doubt it.

He's at a prep school and not a resident so it's different.

Galchenyuk was born in the US, so his situation was different.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Galchenyuk was born in the US, so his situation was different.

Dennis Yan was born in the US too. There's more to it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Dennis Yan was born in the US too. There's more to it.

I think the difference was that Yan didn't have an established residency. He played hockey in Sarina (Canada), Detroit (US), & Ann Arbor (US) after coming back from Russia where he lived for a while.

Similarities, Comparisons

I doubt those are the top teams in Sweden, considering who's missing, nevertheless...
To me, Linus Skager (http://www.cuponline.se/statistics.asp?class_id=2688&sumstats=) had a more impressive tournament (notice he's playing for a 00-team).
11 goals and 18 points while the 2nd guy on his team had 7 points.
I had never heard of the guy before and I will certainly not start hyping him now.

I saw him in that one game they won and he did stand out but he was not spectacular. Actually I liked his teammate Kristian Röykås Marthinsen equally much. And regarding the tournament in general there actually was a player born 00 who outscored him (Linus Skager, Forshaga).

Interesting to check some stats, Mathias Emilio Pettersen (2000) and Linus Skager(2000) have very similar stats, they also have played together in Sweden Selects and will this summer play together in Philadelphia, USA with Sweden Selects.

Here are some statistics from tournaments, both of them have played:

[aigledefeu]

Anyone know if he will be on the U18 team? He's still young but norway probably don't have a stacked team..

He won't. This isn't Estonian or Madeupistan's national team he has to make. Norway is as solid hockey country as it gets.

 

[Shesty31]

I remember when I first read this thread in 2006. What an awesome story it would be if this guy actually ends up becoming an NHL player.

 

[tealhockey]

He won't. This isn't Estonian or Madeupistan's national team he has to make. Norway is as solid hockey country as it gets.

Norway has like 4000 junior-aged players. Sweden has like 40,000... he's going to be in the mix for U18 team in Norway way sooner than you think

 

[VictorLustig]

Not if he plays on another continent against kids.

 

[ozo]

I didn't say he will never make Norway U18 team as an underager, but to think he can make the team being 14-years old? Absurd.

 

[Bjorn Le]

I think the difference was that Yan didn't have an established residency. He played hockey in Sarina (Canada), Detroit (US), & Ann Arbor (US) after coming back from Russia where he lived for a while.

Leo Lazarev came to Canada as a 16 year old to play Junior B for the Waterloo Siskins and he was eligible for the next OHL draft. Galchenyuk only played one season (38 games) in Chicago minor hockey and thus became eligible for the OHL draft. Don't see why Yan wouldn't have established residency especially considering it appears he played three seasons in North America.

It appears that Yan played junior hockey in OHL territory, so he wouldn't be eligible for the QMJHL draft, but since he also played minor hockey in Russia he would also be considered an import. My guess (perhaps its not right) is that Yan was picked in the import draft because he could not be picked in the QMJHL draft. This however does not explain why Yan was not picked in the OHL draft though. I don't like the residency argument though, it makes no sense for a player who played very briefly in Chicago before his entire immediate family moved to Sarnia to have residency but a player who played three seasons in North America to not have it.

 

[TheSanny]

According to his father on Twitter, he has 84 pts in 70 games this season.

Not bad for playing with kids mostly two years older than him.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

I also think it would be sweet if this kid actually made it. I remember watching those YT videos a long time ago and getting excited when the next years video came out.

One of those kids that was well ahead of his age group - he seems to be doing well. With these type of kids, you hope that once his peers start to reach his level (catch up) - he is able to adapt. He is at the age and going into the age group where the kids are taking things really seriously - hope he does well.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Piqued my interest seeing his supposed to be going to a DU but kid is just really interesting as he was noticed at such an early age. Definitely have my eye on him. Forgive my ignorance but is there a real chance he actually plays for Denver?

Who knows ? But I'd say there's a 50-50 chance he's in the NCAA, probably more of a 70-30 chance
