Canucks fans mighg not get the sarcasm hereEveryone thinks it should’ve been Pettersson but I guess Lindström’s AMAZING olympic performance tipped the scales.

No, because the 9 games rule only applies to CHL players (who aren't on loan from European teams)
My short-term memory is on the fritz right now, so if that's the case, my bad
What is it about his contract that makes it so we can’t save a UFA year by sending him down?
He is. I remember being excited about Hodgson. I thought he would be our savior, but he was a false prophet.All hail our latest saviour!
But seriously, this kid's the real deal.
He'll be our #1 C by like December dude. I really wanna see Boeser with Pettersson. Horvat isn't bad or anything it's just that he can get tunnel vision sometimes, and there's no better playmaker in the organization than Pettersson.It was mentioned on another site by a poster, but it felt like he played more than 10 minutes because of how noticeable he was. Imagine how noticeable/impactful he would have been if not for all of the penalties taken by the team.
Also love that TG has him starting at C. This guy should be our #1 C by next season. And Bo as a #2 is way more suitable.
I honestly think he's first line calibre right now. It's not just potential.He is. I remember being excited about Hodgson. I thought he would be our savior, but he was a false prophet.
Pettersson is the genuine article. An A+ prospect on the Vancouver Canucks. I think he's got first line potential no doubt, and could one day be among the best centers in the entire league. Thinking about him in a few years when he has real strength combined with his smarts, his skillset, and his ability to win stick battles is very exciting. This kid could very well be our franchise player.
I had no idea he would be this successful right off the bat.
I didn't even think he was going to be league this year, probably called up Jan/Feb at best from Utica
He's the guy I wanted in the draft but he looks night and day different in physical contact.
He's barely falling over at all, like complete difference from the worlds.
I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he led the league in scoring one day.
I said on draft day that he reminded me of Malkin, and his actual upside could be in that stratosphere, as opposed to the purely playstyle comparison I originally made.
