Best prospect weve had since the Sedins.

Be patient with him. SHL this year. AHL/ NHL next year.

Still needs to learn the NA style game w. The physicality and having less time and space w. The smaller rink. The worst thing the Canucks can do is rush him to the show when he isnt physically ready and have him sustain a major injury ala Nugent Hopkins in Edmonton. RnH has never reached his potential. They have very comparable body fram and physical maturity as well.

He is too skilled , talented and most.importantly smart to not succeed in NHL.

Very excited for the future when he is in the half wall on the PP setting up cross ice dimes to Boeser in the Ovi/ Stamkos area..

I almost have to pinch myself thinking we have petterson, gaudette,Lind, Demko , goldobin in the pipeline.

Juolevi is the biggest X factor. If he pans out then watch the hell out and get out of our way. We coming

But Pertterson has got me all like this

We can hang out but I’m going to say I will bring up that I wanted Pettersson at least 5 times per hour.

@Zombotron can confirm this

Every 12 minutes, hey? I feel like that is less than y2k guy would bring up his rightnesses.

 

[ItalianCanuck1]

Give us hope, Petty!

Yes, and she insists on the correct pronunciation. Petter-shohn.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Oh noes. Feels like I walked into a moderator party. That’s like sunlight on Dracula for an infraction magnet such as myself.

 

[thepuckmonster]

SHL this year and next and you've got a deal.

And I wanted Pettersson too

Look my party is invite only and I didn’t get the RSVP for your attendance to the Pettersson party.

Well it wouldn't be the first time.

Story of my life I tell ya.

 

[elitepete]

I still pronounce it "Peterson" like Adrian Peterson

 

[SgtToody]

Yes, and she insists on the correct pronunciation. Petter-shohn.

To get the correct feel on the pronunciation, say it like Canucks super-fan Sean Connery would say it...

He should be in the ahl by the end of this season, if not the nhl.

He needs to adjust to NA. No reason to make him stay at a level he's already figured out. Keep him challenged.

The only difference between Elias in English and Swedish is that "i" becomes "ee". The cadence and the "s" is exactly the same; "Eleeas".

 

[M2Beezy]

Cant wait to see whats next for him. I was on the Glass train before the draft but Pettersson has ALMOST made me forget about him. Very exciting

Not to continue to go off topic, but I wanted to comment on the absurd posts spewed by RonningMorrisonBooth last night. While his interpretation of CanaFan's posts were obviously completely absurd (and in my opinion, disingenuous), the part that was possibly even more concerning was his reference to CanaFan "disrespecting" our prospects by being "critical". Its ludicrous to suggest that a prospect is "disrespected" if he is validly/reasonably criticized. This line of thinking implies that posters on this message board shouldn't validly and reasonably criticize any prospects so as to avoid "disrespecting them". Posters should be free to validly and reasonably criticize and prospects and anything to the contrary should not be tolerated.

Also, as an aside, CanaFan isn't a "pessimistic" poster. The overwhelming majority of prospects fail to make the NHL, and accordingly, any perspective that is grounded in this cannot be "pessimistic". The fact of the matter is that perspectives around here are generally optimistic and based on unlikely outcomes, which is fine but tends to unfairly paint those posters with "realistic" perspectives as "pessimists".

Also, he is completely right.

Of those five guys, one or two may meet expectations, one or two will be okay but kinda disappointing, and one or two will probably be an outright bust.

 

[Jyrki21]

And it’s just an obviously slanted way of looking at things—

Prospect not tracking as well as hoped = wait and see, you impatient whiners

Prospect tracking as hoped = all hail Benning!

Why the asymmetry?

 

[NuxFan09]

Okay, I asked this somewhere in the last thread and it probably got buried so I didn't get an answer.

I see people talking about Pettersson coming over to NA next year and playing, or not. Whatever. However, it looks like he has a contract up to the end of the 19/20 season with Vaxjo. He doesn't have an ELC with the Canucks so it's not like he's being loaned either. Does he have an out? I thought he had to play that out.
