Anyone else notice that moment when Burke was asked about EP in the first intermission?
"He has the potential to be..." Big pause...
I am pretty sure he wanted to say something like: "the best player in the world", but thought the better of it.
"Well his ceiling is... He may not have a ceiling"

Wouldn't a line with Boeser-Pettersson-Eriksson be pretty fantastic?

By the way Benning should be fired.
Hedberg? He quit years ago and wasn't that great.
Do you mean Hedman?
With no disrespect to Horvat I fully believe that Pettersson should be the next captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Not this year but as early at next season. I hope other people can see that Elias Petterson is captain material. From pre-season, face off aside he is by far the best player and in many regards our most complete 2 way player as well.
He plays the game the right way and that should be the face of the team. He’s probably the only player on the team with the mental toughness and confidence to take on the honor and responsibility of captaincy. Just out of respect to other players, it should be next season.
It’s pretty clear this player is special in every regard. Shows maturity beyond his years, never shows himself getting flustered and carries himself on and off the ice with pure class and professionalism. You can see Horvat get visibly upset all the time and his game become affected by it.
Elias just has the mental toughness and confidence that is going to carry/lead this team out of the dark times. He does not ever complain or whine on the ice ever. Just goes back out, picks himself up and tries to be better the next shift.
He is not only the most skilled player on the Canucks already, but I’ve been more impressed with his composure, mentality and confidence that just exudes leadership. Even his interviews are more candid and insightful and would be a better voice for the team then anyeone else.
When you have the elite skills and work ethic of Elias, that is the player you want everyone to play like both young and old players need to follow his lead.
If you work has hard as Elias Pettersson, players have no excuse not to work harder themselves because someone with exponentially superior skill is showing this never give up attitude.

Perhaps if the Canucks decide to go a few seasons before replacing Henrik, Pettersson could be considered as a captain. Imo the team should not put the C on Pettersson while he's a raw rookie whose interviews in his second language aren't entirely comfortable, regardless of how good a player or person or both they consider him to be.

I don't think it's really that important. They can pick whoever to be the captain, or not have one.
I'd give him a year first. Not having a captain this year isn't the end of the world. Or Edler with his one year. Or Horvat long term. I like Pettersson, I think he's hella talented, but let's see how he plays in the NHL before declaring him the second coming.
That’s what I mean, not this year but for next season. A big mistake would be to name Horvat captain this year.
Elias is just too good and smart a hockey player that I don’t even think captaincy would become a burden for him. He’s got similar demanor like the Sedin twins but with a more confident aura around him.
It’s nice to have a captain that always proves people wrong. Whether if it’s questions about his size, can’t play center or won’t transition to NA ice.

Not a chance. He needs to focus completely on hockey. He's not a extrovert guy that wishes for attention. It will stress him out and this shouldn't be talked about until he's an established veteran.
I don't think he is a leader. There is nothing wrong with him not being one. I don't think he has ever been a captain on a previous team. I mean Bure worked hard and was super competitive, and had the desire to win and be the best, but I don't think he was captain material either.
I know myself, and I am a good leader, but I don't have that it factor to make me a captain, I am more of a great 2nd in command person.
Meanwhile Bo has been a great leader in the past, the leader of a championship caliber team.

Canucks Captain Elias Pettersson organizes a team bonding night on a recent road trip to Las Vegas.

Just let this guy play hockey and adjust to living not only to a new country but a new continent.
Maybe in 5-7 yrs if he shows true leadership qualities then anoint him then.
But to put thay kind of responsibility and load on him is not smart.

You make a good point there about Bure. Elias just seems to have that Lidstrom persona to him. Calming quality that teammates can lean and look up to.
Special players can handle it and I truly believe petterson is one of those special players like Toews, Crosby mold. I’m sure his English will improve significantly being exposed to it all year in NA that it won’t be an issue really.
1-2 year it should go to him.
If they do, than why was he not in the WJC, or in Sweden?
I think as fans we often think things that are not true. We are not in the room and have no idea of the dynamics. We don't know who people gravitate towards and who the teams leaders really are.
Kid will be a star in this league in short order. Going to be a treat to watch. He will just have to get used to playing for the worst organization in the NHL for majority of the last 47 years. Good luck kid, you’ll need it.
