Elias Pettersson Milestone Thread

[Rodgerwilco]

Is his nickname really "Alien" ? lol

 

[Kamiccolo]

At least Matthews isn't the most overrated guy on here anymore. Now it is Pettersson

 

[Plural]

It remains to be seen. Doubt his sh% will drop as much as some people (in general people who never watch him play) think and his on ice sh% isn’t very high even.

He’s also been recovering from 2 injuries that really affected his play coming back both times. I don’t even think his point totals reflect his play tbh. His level of play this season, outside of the recovery periods and stretches of key team injuries, his level has been at Art Ross/Hart level already.

He's shooting at 27.6%. It's going to drop by at least 10 points. I'll be shocked if his shooting above 20% next season.

Someone get this alien an Elliott.

 

[Stickpucker]

The only reason he's ahead of Marner is because his linemates are far more talented.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

I wouldn’t trade Pettersson for any other player in the league right now, he’s that good.

How many stats do you have to got thru to establish P1/60 as the ultimate metric? Two, three or four?

Let's see,

1. Total points
2. PPG to account for injuries
3. P/60 to account for different TOI
4. P1/60 to account for P/60 not fitting a narrative

No, but better than anyone on the Toronto roster. That's what matters.

Better than McDavid eh?

Remember when Canucks fans had 3 of the best 2 goalies in the world, with Luongo, Schneider, and Lack? I do.

Last step is where you stopped trying to be objective. There’s an obvious reason why primary points are valued more than secondary points by everyone who knows what they’re talking about.

Doesn't necessarily mean his goal total next season will drop. I don't have any stats but I'm pretty certain the average player increases his shot totals from season 1 to season 2.

And the bestest most smartest GM in the history of the Universe, Mike Gillis, who lost all 3 for nothing?

I get your point lots of Canucks fans over rate everything Canucks but Pettersson is actually the real deal and not being overhyped at all.

Yeah, he might be able to score at the same rate. But he won't be shooting anywhere near 27,6%

McDavid makes over 12x the money Pettey makes

We have to only go back to last year when Boeser was one of the best players in NHL, only bad linemates was stopping him for being in top 5 in points. Well glad he has Pettersson in his line now.

He’s not overhyped by most but people like you make him have a general perception on these boards of being overhyped.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Damn, that's impressive for a rookie.

 

[Windy River]

I just noticed this when filing for a Visa. This is the correct choice for EP!

That is likely his (along with many foreign athletes) actual Visa filing.

When you say you wouldn't trade him for anyone in the league, real deal or not, you're doing exactly that.

 

[Kamiccolo]

McDavid makes over 12x the money Pettey makes

Dude really? He is on an ELC. Given the contracts being given out he is going to be making more than McDavid and likely expiring around the same time as his current deal. I'd trade anyone for McDavid. His contract is a steal and he is clearly the undeniable best player in the league.

 

[Windy River]

He's shooting at 27.6%. It's going to drop by at least 10 points. I'll be shocked if his shooting above 20% next season.

But you won't be shocked if he completes his rookie season over 20% (which is a distinct possibility) ?

 

[joe dirte]

McDavid makes over 12x the money Pettey makes

And you know that's temporary, right? In two years when McDavid is still far, far, far better, and Petterson is getting paid marginally less, it won't matter.

And at this point, for the Canucks, it doesn't really matter, because they're not anywhere near ready to contend.

 

[nowhereman]

If a rookie was leading the league in p1/60 and played for literally any other team than the Canucks (or Leafs), people would be gushing over him like he was the best thing since sliced bread. Instead, you have threads like this, lol.

I'd be surprised.
