Status quo
When you’ve been wrong about 98% of things, people get hungry to gloat about the 2% they weren’t.
At least it's more fun to read than the gloating that occurs when a pick doesn't go the franchise's way.. that's just depressing.

The draft thread and early in the first Elias thread there were quite a few losing their marbles over the pick. Most wanted Vilardi or Glass, Pettersson was an afterthought for some and a don't pick at all costs for some others.Funny, I went through it and thought most people were fairly ok with the pick. Some super excited, most saying Pettersson wasn’t their top pick but he was an intriguing pick. A couple did freak out, one quite emphatically.
Not as bad as you’re suggesting.
I remember Lucbourdon wanting nothing to do with Glass
I remember Canafan wanting nothing to do with pettersson
I personally wanted nothing to do with Vilardi.
I also remembering a massive hard on for Cale Makar by a small contingent
Was not my top pick but I am not unhappy with the choice. Skill and vision for days, just have to be patient and hope his strength and weight comes in time and that his game translates well to the NHL size rinks.
Fine with the pick and relieved we didn't draft Liljegren or Rasmussen. But think I would have been happier with Glass or Mitts.

Didn’t Elias himself say it was pronounced that way this past summer?
When I talked with Gradin in whistler he said he personally didn't want pettersson to play wing because of the board play required, and it wouldn't help his creativity.
He wanted a winger to take a hit to make a play to Pettersson
Not Pettersson take a hit to make a play to a center
Seems like he was right. It's fun watching skate all over the middle of ice. Plus his goal was just that. A winger taking a hit (Goldobin I think).
Pet-er-Son, er like first syllable of error. Pet like above. Son like... Son.
Poster above nailed the southern Swede version where r:s aren't pronounced though. :-D
Yes Petter, is like Pet, not like Peat. Then what follows is like you do not know what to say: "Erh". and finally, son.Pet-er-Son, er like first syllable of error. Pet like above. Son like... Son.

+ e (hard e/eh) + schon
Pet-e-schon
I know Peet ur sun isn’t the Swedish pronounciation, I just thought it was funny that someone suggested it was bad to pronounce it as such and yet EP himself disagreed
He put the weight concerns to rest so people had to annoy him with something elseSlow news day, eh?
