Lol. Do you just say whatever fits your narrative without doing any research?
All you have to do is google - elias petterson draftranking
the very first article that comes up is -
Should the Canucks draft Elias Pettersson?
"But there’s another player that has gone somewhat under the radar that might be the Canucks best option for finding a first-line centre: Elias Pettersson."
"This is reflected in Pettersson’s position in the
various draft rankings. He ranges anywhere from 5th (
HockeyProspect.com) to 27th (
Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek)..."
"There are some rankings that are very high on Pettersson.
Central Scouting Services ranks him as the second best European skater in the draft, behind the controversial Klim Kostin.
For those who favour analytics in their drafting,
Scouching ranks him third overall. So does
prospects writer Zachary Devine."
"
It’s not hard to see why he’s rated so highly. Pettersson tore up the Allsvenskan this past season, putting up just short of a point per game. His 41 points in 43 games for Timrå IK was good enough for 9th in league scoring. The only U-20 player who scored more was his teammate and new Canucks prospect Jonathan Dahlen, who is a year older. The next best teenager had just 24 points.
That type of production for a teenager against men is undeniably impressive. Not even William Nylander and Filip Forsberg produced at that rate in the Allsvenskan as teenagers."
Anyways, just ignore all of this on the first google search. Only Benning could have known that EP would be this good. Only Benning. No one else could be as genius as Benning is. Benning is simply the best. No one could be doing a better job than Benning is.
