Pretty meh as an NHLer. Got a chance to play with Elias Pettersson a few games and didn’t really do anything. Was a heathy scratch more often than not.

All I know about this guy is when I watched yesterdays game I had a chuckle that Canucks have Pederson and Pettersson

AHL point per game tweener. Can plug in your lineup and he’ll likely be a net 0 but nothing special. Played with Pettersson for a few games and had 1 good game (Petey’s 6 point game). Been scratched for a while.

So does VAN recall Podkolzin and Hoglander with Pederson gone and Mikheyev injured?

AAAA player. Skill guy that does great in the AHL, but not good enough for an NHL top 6 role.

For those interested, this cost Columbus $26,250, paid to Vancouver and not counted against the cap.

I believe they are trying to keep their guys in the ahl to play some winning hockey and build proper habits.

Especially those two. Play in more situations and hopefully build the tool box a bit

whos next up with lockwood injured? I suppose Gisussepe for one of the two. I think hoglander could be a tocchet guy.

Dowling probably if they want to keep the young kids down below??

Wait until you hear that we have two Elias Petterssons.

 

[majormajor]

Hopefully this is just to get a warm body so Sillinger can get sent down.

Putting a claim on this guy instead of giving someone like Trey Fix Wolansky more of a chance.....

Figures

One is a center and one is a winger? TFW also hasnt done much in the chances hes gotten

Now you can lose only one more decoy…

Pederson has played mostly C in his time in VAN and isn't an NHL C... that's even giving him the credit of being an NHL winger... which he isn't.

TFW has gotten exactly 10 games. 4 of them this year averaging under 10 minutes in each. Despite that he has a (slightly) higher NHL ppg than Pederson and is 2 years younger and has played exceptionally well for CBJ's AHL team.

Neither is likely to amount to much, but I know which one I'd rather gamble on.

The hope for Columbus is this leads to Sillinger being sent down to develop. The team already came out and stupidly said they had thought about it but couldnt because of a couple injuries in Cleveland. Basically admitting their center depth is garbage and theyd rather risk harming a players development than finding a real solution.

TFW is way too passive and basically loses everything I like about the player when hes in the NHL. Same as Bemstrom with his offense in the AHL vs NHL. If he brought the never give up attitude a guy like Gerbe for example brought he'd have a spot already

 

[mattihp]

Are they desperate to get another guy who can play center?

 

[Petes2424]

He’s just been one of those players who can’t adjust to the NHL’s speed, when it comes to finding open ice, creating space and getting his shot off.

He does have a chance to play 200+ games if he dedicates himself to a bottom six role. Unfortunately 90% of guys don’t make that decision and think they will suddenly start putting points up in the league.

Lane Pederson

Scouting Report:
The versatile forward can line up either at center or wing. He skates well and has decent hockey sense, but has to be more consistent and improve his attention to detail in order to make an impression in a league with loads of depth forwards looking for jobs. Adding strength would also help.

Long Range Potential: Versatile depth forward.
