Prospect Info: Elias Pettersson | Pt. II

[Motte and Bailey]

Why not just post the list then? I don’t recall making that statement about Pettersson specifically, rather a list of guys like Gadjovich, Lind, Palmu, etc.

I do recall posting this about Pettersson before his 5 pt game:



Also, you really should look up what “context” means cause I don’t think you know.

The list was Peterson, Gaydette, Juolevi, Demko and Lind

The context is you disrespected our prospects by saying that in all likelihood they wouldn't ever play an NHL game, then I listed some names which included Peterson, then you said only a couple might play an NHL game.

CanaFan might trend towards the pessimistic as posters go, but this is a ludicrous misrepresentation of what he said.

Fair enough, I went back and re-read. Regardless my comment was about the group, not Pettersson specifically. I think my post on the last page speaks to my opinion on Pettersson.

Pettersson
Gaudette
Juolevi
Dahlen
Kole Lind
Thatcher Demko

In all likelihood these will all be solid contributors in the NHL

A couple might. Not nearly as many as you seem to think.

according to CanaFan last week Elias isn't likely to play in the NHL.

you disrespected our prospects

???????????????

Well I think it was pretty clear that he casted doubt out on the possibility of Peterson ever playing a single NHL game, which is the real ludicrous thing here.

Mmm, no.

Is it really your contention that only a couple (definition: two) of that group will be "solid NHL contributors"? A gloomy outlook!

No you just took it out of context. He implied they would not even play in the NHL anyone can just go back and read the thread click on the up arrow on the quote and decide for yourself.

@CanaFan noted eternal pessimist

It was an (IMO) overly dour read on the group as a whole but he said absolutely nothing about Pettersson in particular. Quit roughing up strawmen, it's unbecoming.

I can respect that I could have interpreted your post differently. I am happy to hear that your outlook on Peterson is not as bad as I thought .

 

[CanaFan]

“Potential” is a vague descriptor but realistically only Pettersson has a good chance at 1st production. Lind is a kid I like a lot but he looks like a good 2nd line guy or a guy who can complement a top line guy more than a dynamic play-driver himself at the NHL level. Dahlen I think is even less likely to be a top liner than Lind. I mean, anyone can have the “potential” to do anything but realistically I think it’s unlikely those two get there. Pettersson is closer to having a realistic chance.

Gonna just leave that here for the evening while RonningMorrisonBooth keeps trying to make a mountain out of a one sentence post that supposedly is the last word on how I view Pettersson.

Ok I still think there was an implication there but fair enough. Back to Peterson himself I am actually quite concerned after watching an interview with him recently wearing a tight shirt is frame looks like a preteens torso. I am worried whether he will ever get big enough to avoid having his lunch taken at the NHL level. He does not play an elusive game where he will shy away from body contact like Gaudreau. I hope I'm wrong because otherwise he might be a near generation talent.
