Well done Nucks, kid looks to be a gem.

 

[FlyTimmo]

I hope his game translates well. Is he going to be a full-time center in the NHL or wing?

 

[HomeAndHome]

He'll be fun to watch in the NHL!

Wing. 90% sure. Though he's looked good when tried at centre so maybe he can still become our future 1C, we'll see. Seems most comfortable on the wing for now though.

He already is translating. I hope he stays healthy. I just read he is 6 ‘2 and 161 lb’s. Needs to bulk up, eat some carbs this summer.

Most likely start his career on wing and potentially transition to C.

 

[Jayan]

Great talent. Good signing for Canucks.

It will be interesting to see what he can do in the NHL in the upcoming season. For those who say size is an issue, Johnny Gaudreau and Brayden Point are doing just fine.

Spelling his name is the least of our worries , how the heck do you pronounce it ? I've heard three different ways just today .

Elite Prospects almost always has it right.

More like Pettersdone, am I right?

Canucks are going to ease him into NHL on the wing, long-term plan is to develop him as a center. He's played mostly RW since being drafted.

Sign and trade?

Hurrr
hurrrrrrrrrrr
hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Think it's almost like a... Pet-Er-Jean(French) but will ultimately be pronounced Pet-Er-Son in North America I'd imagine

 

[GetFocht]

a new era begins.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Pick him up now in keeper pools !!


Will be a legit 90+ point player once he adjusts to North American style of hockey.

 

[Alan Wake]

Who the f*** is Elias Pettersdon?

 

[6ix]

He’s literally a twig. He will need to bulk up or he won’t last.

 

[member 147413]

What type of production do Canucks fans expect from him this season? Is he a C year one?

 

[StreetHawk]

He already is translating. I hope he stays healthy. I just read he is 6 ‘2 and 161 lb’s. Needs to bulk up, eat some carbs this summer.

He won’t be at his ideal weight for a couple of years. He is a slender guy, so it’s going to take him time to slowly add the girth that he needs.

The pic he posted he still looks so thin. Just be patient. He’s not an avenger actor who bulks up for 3 months to do a 3 month movie and then drop it afterwards. He’ll have to maintain that weight through out his career.

 

[Liminality]

Is Pettersson-Horvat-Boeser a possibility in the near future? That'd be a fun line to watch

 

[Curufinwe]

It would have been cool to see him play one year with the Sedins.
