Prospect Info: Elias Pettersson | Pt. III

[Knight53]

Now that is back to back games where Pettersson has been in on all goals for Vaxjo that weren't an empty net.

He is that team.

And he single handily won them the game against farjestad(2nd ranked team behind Vaxjo) a week ago with 2 goals in the 3rd one which was with 33 seconds left to tie the game.

Thread title needs to be updated OP cmon

 

[DL44]

Why isn't the title updated..

I want to see it updated now!

 

[lush]

I as well came to chirp the mods for this thread title not being updated already!

 

[PG Canuck]

This is why I was so high on Pettersson. Always thought he had the potential to have the highest level of skill set.

Just amazing.

 

[DL44]

That seems like a lot of hockey.

Is it tho?
Does the SHL schedule stop for the World Jr and the Olympics?

If not, then the only extra games would be the World championships... It's nothing remotely concerning.

Break out the salsa we got ourselves a player. That was a blue chip reference for those of you that weren't following along.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Gonna celebrate Petterssen's 3 pt effort w a blue chip lunch at Arby's

 

[Zombotron]

I was hoping for PPG through 20, and now he has an outside chance at 35 points before WJCs L M A O

 

[GetFocht]

13 points away from Backstrom's record with 25 games left to achieve that.

 

[Zombotron]

We talk about this guy's scoring like he's a CHL player

 

[Ainec]

pays off to select the high potential guy regardless of the question marks

I was fine with Glass Vilardi or Pettersson and when EP was selected I thought, hmm I like the gamble. Good choice

Yeah this is starting to get a little out of hand - in a good way. I mean this kind of fortune does happen to prospects/teams - they preform better than expected (based on draft position) - but this combined with Boeser and it's almost giving me an unsettling feeling - like its obviously too good to be true. But every day now you look at the title of this thread - more games played, more points at higher than ppg.

Then you look at how Brock just won stop scoring.

It's all so great but it is giving me an uneasy feeling.

But it makes sense - this isn't Jason King, Steve kariya, or the infamous Sergie Shirokov. Both are regular season points - in credible leagues. It just seems too real but not.

What's going on.

 

[Askel]

What a prospect, saw him last year and he looked very good, but he is even better this year. Went from being a good prospect to being an elite prospect, impressive, best young swedish forward since Bäckström, and Pettersson might even be better than Bäckstrom.

 

[NuxFan09]

Between Boeser in the NHL and Pettersson in the SHL, this season has been a blessing for us Canucks fans. I mean, I'm really having a lot of fun with this team right now.

Still don't have complete faith in Benning and Linden the negativity is somewhat staved off at the moment.

I know what you mean. I'm trying not to get too excited about him as I wait for the inevitable Canucks prospect let down.

When I watch him play, I have to remind myself that he's playing in the highest league in Sweden. Its hard to believe how much he has improved from his already impressive draft year.

 

[Zombotron]

He could go pointless for the next four months and it'd still be a successful season

 

[PhilMick]

This is unreal. Between him and Dahlen I just don't even know how to handle this.

 

[DDRhockey]

Was a bit unlucky to not get that empty netter plus he got surpassed in shl lead.

Pettersson has not had any luck at all because almost all his points are quality plays.

i share your uneasy feeling. but i am inclined to enjoy it while it lasts.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Something tells me you guys aren't too sour about dropping 3 spots in the draft anymore

 

[racerjoe]

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means

Inconceivable!

 

[DDRhockey]

Pettersson allergic to easy points aka empty netters

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Maybe Iafrate is a hero of his.
