He's getting a lot of hype for his IQ and skillset, but is he an elite skater?
What Pettersson is doing in the video below is not only "elite" but maybe unique?
He does this kind of stuff all the time in the offensive zone and it is amazing to watch. What he does is very subtle and almost impossible to see but this video really helps to see what he is doing and appreciate it.
Love watching him skate now. Also love attempting some of this technique at stick and puck and public skate. lol...
Wouldn't even be fair if that happened. His current skating reminds me of a stork lol love his play though !!Nope not even close.
If that ever changes though, look the **** out.
