Prospect Info: Elias Pettersson | Pt. IV

[Jack Burton]

If he continues to play like he's played I'd expect him to play in the NHL this year.

So would I.
He's tracking like a top 5 pick and as much as I don't like this pick...He's exceeded my expectations.

There happy...I said it.

 

[Jack Burton]

We can't afford Kane with Eriksson, and to trade for him you are going to give up a serious piece. Just wouldn't make much sense. Unless you can dump the Eriksson contract.

We can afford Kane at the TDL.

There's a lot of smoke around these Kane rumors and if he ACTUALLY becomes available then kiss some of our picks and prospects goodbye.

This management team will not wait and roll the dice to see if he hits FA...kind of like the Pooh trade.

Book it unless buff really tries to take Benning to the cleaners and someone else steps in.

No reason to put him in NHL this season. Let him break 50p in shl.

If Pettersson is willing to come over and check the NHL out then f*** ya!

His main goal should be winning Cups and not setting SHL records

Just like Boeser

 

[DDRhockey]

Game on in 3 hours and 30 minutes. Maybe lakers get a PP this game?

 

[Zombotron]

I hope for a three-point game so he can get to an even 30, but I've just jinxed it and so he'll score 0. Oh no!

 

[CherryToke]

I was actually hoping for another 5 point game.

Just a FYI...

I'm waiting for this game

 

[clunk]

I'm definitely watching this one. as long as he gets at least a point, happy days.

It would be just ideal, wouldn't it! Evander can mentor young Jake. You know, both of them being local guys and all. Jake can be his wing man on road trips, Evander will show him all the hot spots in places like Vegas, the good strip joints in Buffalo and Winnipeg.. Maybe Jake could introduce Evander to the Biebs when they hit SoCal. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[lakers11]

Dominik Bokk will score in this game, count on it

 

[DDRhockey]

He has gotten so many points lately that he is due to score a 0.

With all the injuries växjö has, he pretty much has to put up points for Lakers to win

I know that you guys are having fun with the Elias hype train, but holy shit. Calm down. This thread makes me want to leave HF.

Don't read the main boards. Some of our more excitable posters are on full generational watch over there.

 

[Melvin]

Quick question for the fan boys...do you expect Pettersson in the NHL next year?

Also If he doesn't sign over the summer and decides to remain in Sweeden would you be disappointed?

Not a " fan boy " but absof***inglutely

As great as his numbers are, his skill was never in question. Some were calling him the most skilled player in the draft even before we took him. The question was how he would hold up with less time and space in the nhl.

His production in the tougher SHL is obviously extremely encouraging, but he needs to get over here to start adjusting and the sooner the better imo.

Really expect him to get some NHL games this year and if he doesn't get any next year it will be a massive, massive disappointment.

I don't even want to look but anyone who is doing this stuff should know that they are acting like Oilers fans about 5 years ago.

Come on guys, aren't you at least old enough to remember Cody hodgson? Cool it.

And it's not like I'm not massively excited for him - genuinely believe EP is having one of the best European post-draft seasons ever, and has the potential to be a first-line calibre player.

But damn, there's one, maybe two, generational guys every 10 years. They have to be good enough, at the very least, to be the face of the league for an extended period of their prime. And even then, there's a few players I would put in the "face-of-the-league" whom I wouldn't consider generational.

It's too late. I have seen everything.

I am excited for Petersson of course, but I feel like HF needs to have an age limit. Like you should be over 20 to post here.

 

[Zombotron]

I was thinking about the use of the G-word and its appropriateness at this time.

No. It's going to take a lot. Like, a lot. The criteria should be pretty onerous.

Mod decree: No use of the G-word. Thanks.

 

[Zombotron]

Mora has controlled play for most of the opening period.

 

[ChilliBilly]

Best case scenario - finish the SEL at the same pace, and then sign an ELC and get some games in at the end of the season.

Edit - any place to watch this?

 

[Knight53]

28 points now. Primary Assist.

Looking faster every time I watch.

 

[Zombotron]

Yep, after being outplayed for most of the period, Andrew Calof scores to tie it, and Pettersson gets an apple. The fun continues. One sec...

EDIT: Okay, yeah, Mora's way at the bottom of the SHL standings. Not the best start for Vaxjo.

 

[Prntscrn]

Another apple as Växjö ties the game. 1-1

Edit: You guys are fast
