I would be happy if the cards fell like this:

???	Horvat	Boeser / EP
Dahlen / Goldobin	???	EP / Boeser
Goldobin / Dahlen	Gaudette	Virtanen
???	???	???

Insert one of Lind / Gadjovitch / Jasek in there and I feel that is a pretty realistic expectation of things to come.

Fair. Those are some big pieces to fill still. I have hope that Gaunce and Archibald could reliably fill two of the 4th line spots. Not sure of Leipsic keeps a spot anywhere in there as well.

Pretty much guaranteed they will be played no matter what, it will put bodies in the seats ...

Attendance will be worth watching this season..a new young core is definitely something the team,and media can sell.

I'm very ready to see him play. Not worried about his size. Gaudreau is showing that guys don't need to be huge if they have the skill. If he has a rookie year like Boeser did....we're in for some fun hockey.

kinda funny seeing a photo today of Boeser swimming with a cast, and EP signing with a cast....

Agree with this. I think wins and losses matter less than some people have argued around here. Simply having a team that fans like and players they can get behind counts for a lot too. The effect Boeser has last year shows how starving this market is for some new stars to put on a pedestal. I think Pettersson will continue that and potentially take it to another level altogether.

100% agree. We fans want to have hope for a better future. Young (potential) star players give us that hope.

Excited to see what he can do on the fourth line with limited power play time playing the “right way”. I wonder if we could sign Prust to mentor him.

Yes, the right way. If only we get a nickle for every time we hear the right way with regards to Petterson's development.

Clayton Keller looked scrawny last year too, but he made a big impact in the NHL.

We need skill on this team. We need to get younger. There's a lot resting on his shoulders here, but him and Boeser with Bo - there's some legitimate young talent coming through here. There's something brewing here in Vancouver and I can't wait to see what develops.

Looks like Benning got his McCann replacement when we officially signed Meat and Potaterssen to his ELC

Totally unfair. Even I think that's totally unfair to Benning with what Pettersson's done in the last year. Pettersson's done everything you can say points to future stardom without having played the games. I just pray he's in the lineup this October.
