Elias Pettersson: 6 GP, 0 G, 1 A, 1 Point

[danyhabsfan]

hurting my hockey pool right now.

He was my 1st pick.

 

[Steven Toast]

Im really glad I used my 2nd pick in my fantasy draft for him.

 

[nowhereman]

Where does Pettersson go in a 2017 redraft?

Falls back to 10?

He'd be on my Do Not Draft list. What a wasted pick, especially with Cody Glass, Lias Anderson and Casey Mittelstadt still on the board.

Late 6th round

the sarcasm is nice, another thing that's nice for the Canadian division is that he was useless so far this season

 

[jcs0218]

That’s pretty accurate.

It’s 6 games into the season.

We were all led to believe he was the greatest Swedish import since ABBA.

Even though it is only 6 games, his performance has been disappointing.

 

[Stimpythecat]

Kings will make you an offer you can't refuse. We will trade you a 3rd round 2022 pick for Pettersson. That gets the canucks a pick that round since you got rid of one in the Schmidt trade.

 

[Shareefruck]

This pass exemplifies how poorly he's played.

6 games into a weird season.

Yeah one injury addled first season and now Glass is synonymous with bust.

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer

 

[SoundAndFury]

Has anyone offered 6 pack of beer (or something like that, can't remember what it was exactly) to everyone if he ever scores 20 goals again in this thread yet?

I actually don't think Glass is a bust at all. I just sarcastically rattled off a few names who weren't on EP40s level that were picked right after him.

Breathe easy, Glass will be fine.

 

[Ben White]

I’ve seen some shades of his “old” deking ability that we haven’t seen since the Kotka injury fall 2018 basically, so that’s a positive. Means his puck control is getting back to pre Kotka, he’ll bounce back.

 

[Kranix]

He'll be fine

 

[Regal]

So does his skating. Usually if he turns over the puck he hustles like mad to get it back or harass the puck carrier.

Yep. Just gave up on the play. That said, he does stumble at the beginning-- would have been unlikely to catch up, but he could at least hustle to get back in position in case of a save.

That pass is something else, though.

Fair enough. Can see that, just been seeing his name around this site the past few months talking as though he's done already. Would def take EP40 over Glass though. Anyone would.

And to add to your point, such a small sample in a weird season doesn't remotely warrant questioning where he'd go in a redraft. If he ends the season with 12 points while completely healthy then there may be cause for alarm.

 

[Jee]

6 gp is a lot in a shortened season.

 

[Stive Morgan]

To be fair he lost his footing after the turnover and you can see him hang/shake his head in frustration knowing he can't catch up to Toffoli

 

[BAM]

Lol and wasn't matthews top 5 ? Gotta love the Canadian hockey media

Matthews been better at every comparative level than EP.

He was my 1st pick.

Ditto. I had the 8th overall in my pool and was so happy to have landed him. Im looking to unload him and nobody wants him haha.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I firmly believe this is karma to the few Canucks fans that claimed he was near McDavids level.

 

[deckercky]

Scoring at a 13 pt pace. Time to sign him for 8 years at the league minimum.

 

[deckercky]

I firmly believe this is karma to the few Canucks fans that claimed he was near McDavids level.

Are you claiming it is morally wrong for fans to claim Pettersson is close in hockey ability to McDavid?

 

[DaPhazz]

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer

The said question, which is not mine by the way, is pretty relevant in this case of major disappointment.

It's only 6 games indeed, but 6 brutal games for a said top 10 player in the league.
