His instincts are incredible, he’s thinking the game in another level
Here's his beautiful assist today
I think quietly a lot of people are thinking he has that type of potential.I don't get how anyone who watches him play can think that his skills won't translate over to NHL. Sure he may not be a 90 point forward like SOME people are suggesting... but if you actually watch him through a game and see how many chances he creates, even if they don't end up as goals... His stats actually DO reflect how good he is. It's not like he's riding shotgun with good players, given only offensive starts, or just having a lucky year where he's standing in the right places to pick up points. No. he's actually creating chances and capitalizing. That will translate no matter how much he weighs or how small the ice is.

Trying to block the shot? most players would've shot it right into the shin pads. Elias dragged it to create a shooting lane and shot it all in one motion.He's playing against another level. What was that defender doing?

it was a poor play by him, but good players tend to draw away defenders all the time, no matter what league. Whether it's McDavid, Kucherov, Mackinnon, etc.Wrong highlight.
I'm responding to the assist. The RD went after Pettersson creating a passing lane. The goalie was squared to face Elias and had good positioning. RD should have picked up the trailing forward.

Pettersson IS the best player in the league and defencemen panic when he has the puck.
is that not what i just said?
The classic excuse that the league is bad so the play is bad.It is what you just said, was just reiterating because of the added hypotheticals. It's obvious that SHL is a different level than the NHL. So he probably is thinking at an NHL level. I don't know. He looks like he has some serious skills. That snipe was a beauty. The way he curled his stick on the release was pretty impressive.

Sorry but you cant fool anyone
I have never seen any defencemen make mistakes in the NHL.You should watch more canucks games, tons of laughable plays occur in the nhl as well. Every prospect that scores on here (not just elias, i have read this for years) people always mention that wont happen in the nhl. Nhl has some very bad players who do dumb things quite often.
I was just asking what ben hutton and gudbranson were thinking on a goal the other week.
I can find bad nhl defender plays alsoWhen did I say it was bad? The defender made a poor play. Pettersson made a nice play. I don't think it was an NHL caliber play because of the reasons stated.
From what Ive seen, a lot of the 'Nylander vs XX' threads are all started by non-leaf fans hoping to start some shit.Leafs fans feel obliged to compare every top prospect to one of Nylander/Marner/Matthews. And of course Nylander/Marner/Matthews is always clearly better.
He's playing against another level. What was that defender doing?
More annoying that people act that nhl is mistake free.Can't have any discussion in here without the usual homers chiming in and attacking a poster for stating the obvious.
Pettersson is great but give it a rest.
All these comments will be come enjoyment in a few years when he is a 90+ point getter and the best player form 17 draft, Talent is talent when you have the combination he has failure wont be a option , just like everyone said Marner's skills would not translate , all you need to do is watch these players to know they're going to be stars, Canucks dropping 3 places in the draft lottery was them actually winning it , and they will be glad they did.it was a poor play by him, but good players tend to draw away defenders all the time, no matter what league.

Why, would have they drafted Makar instead of Heiskanen at 3?All these comments will be come enjoyment in a few years when he is a 90+ point getter and the best player form 17 draft, Talent is talent when you have the combination he has failure wont be a option , just like everyone said Marner's skills would not translate , all you need to do is watch these players to know they're going to be stars, Canucks dropping 2 places in the draft lottery was them actually winning it , and they will be glad they did.
