Needs to be careful not to bulk too fast. Plenty of players have lost a decent amount of speed that way, and have to work to get it back.

Canucks management is pretty comparable to Montreal's, sadly.

I'm not really sure if you're being serious or not...if you are it's important to educate yourself on an entry level contract.

Pettersson has played all three forward positions. Although he was used primarily as a RW this season, he's actually a left-handed shooter, so would actually complement Boeser if they were used as wingers on the same line. That actually has the potential to be a lethal power-play competition, Boeser as the shooter on the left side, Pettersson as the shooter on the right side.
There is no reason for Pettersson to play in the AHL. He is good enough for the NHL and the AHL is still a rougher, slower, sloppier game than the NHL. No reason to put him there. Not beneficial to him or the team. There is about a 96% chance he is a Vancouver Canuck from day one next year.

This kid is the next big ticket coming to the NHL. I think at worst he’s going to be a Marner or Aho caliber of player. I think his ceiling is higher than both though. I really hope at some point he gets to center Boeser, that would be a fun line to watch (other than when they play the Flames).
Super excited for this kid.

Stoked to see his development along with Boeser, Horvat and yes Virtanen! :O
Now we need two legitimate top four dmen to add to the youth.

Don't think many know this but Hodgson didn't really bust. He developed a genetic condition called hyperthermia that made it incedibly difficult to exert himself. That's why he had to retire.

Professional Winner.
That combined with his back issues that got ignored/misdiagnosed as well.

At worst he's going to be a Marner calibre player.. Alright man. 90+ projections in here also, geez.

He has an elite skill package. Players like that play their game and find success. Pettersson is already a very good hockey player, I have no doubts that he’s going be a top player in the NHL.

One thing the Horvat Pettersson Boeser trifecta definitely have over Marner Matthews Nylander is their boyish good looks.

I mean so was Marner in junior. Sorry if I think it's a little ridiculous how his floor is a 70 point sophomore winger.
Last I heard the other day he was 177. If he gets around 180-185 I think it'll be a good weight for him.
I don't get why Leafs fans take it as a diss. Pettersson just broke records that weren't even close to being touched over the past 40 years in a men's league...I get if you haven't watched him play, but you need to watch him play then to say that.
