I’ve never fully understood the hype. Some people on here genuinely believe he’s a top 5 player in the league. Every time I’ve watched him he’s been underwhelming.
He's watching on the screen, but yea, that's some really odd body language.That's weird AF man. He's not even watching the play, and then he has literally zero reaction to the goal. Looks sad while everyone is celebrating around him.

Is that you Don?Smart users like myself saw this coming from a mile away. Another soft Swede making NHL fans believing he is anything more than a fraud. I’ll take any good Canadian boy over him any day of the week.
Sorry but He Is not the best young player in the League. Number 37 of the canes says helloStill the best young player in the game. Two 3-4 point outings and we’ll forget this even happened.
Miro Heiskanen and Cale Makar says hi.Still the best young player in the game. Two 3-4 point outings and we’ll forget this even happened.
It's weirder because most players watch it on the ice in OT. Everyone on the bench did, anyway.
Yeah, this is not true. Looking back at last season Pettersson had 2 points in 15 games against Canadian teams, the same Canadian teams he ends up playing every time this year. So with this years games that's 3 points now in the last 21 games against Canadian teams for Pettersson.A weird aberration that would be notable if it occurred mid-season in an 82 game schedule, but is extremely attention-grabbing to start a season especially in a shortened one. I'd just chalk it up to a weird event happening, with a potential cause of it happening after a start with no pre-season. Not only did players not have a pre-season, but a significant amount of them had also dramatically altered off-seasons training-wise.
It's more than just his stat line. He's acting weird, like in this video. And doesn't seem to have his usual swagger on the ice.
I was wondering if he's got some teammate or coach issues goin on.

I said, “hi!”, back and promptly asked, “so gents, what’s it like to be the second and third best young players in the NHL behind Elias Pettersson?”Miro Heiskanen and Cale Makar says hi.
That’s pretty accurate.Pettersson was ranked the 8th best player in the NHL by The Hockey News before the season.
TSN had him 14th
Since he entered the league he's been insanely competitive, hates to lose, played with energy and confidence, dangled guys regularly, plays a complete 200 foot game and backchecked with a vengeance.
Probably the most fiery guy on the team although less expressive than someone like Miller.
This season so far it's like someone took his soul out of his body. No motor at all. No emotion. Poor 2 way effort. No hands either.
No idea wtf happened to him.
I'm sure he'll be fine and I'm not worried at all, but it is weird.
