RW/C Elias Pettersson (2017, 5th, VAN) Part 4

[LemonSauceD]

26/30 points have been primary.

I think he had like only 7 secondary points last season too, out of his 56 points in the SHL.

Not simply just racking up secondary assists on the power-play like a certain player I know

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Can they just give him the Calder already? Kid is in another league than anyone else.

calder: game set and match

 

[clunk]

Have you seen the goals? Anything thrown towards the Blues' net found it's way in. EP is still a tremendous talent to be sure.

 

[Steely Van]

This game was just a publicity stunt to draw attention to his new Audi commercial, also released today.

"This is why I'm thrilled"
He must be an Alien, only Spock from Star Trek could show little to no emotion like he did in that commercial

If I am to believe that he is not an alien, I need to hear him make a joke or laugh.

He's going for a Keanu Reeves vibe obviously.

Scary thing is he could have many more 4 or 5 point games already with the ridculous amount of chances he creates and he is only 26 games into his career. What is his ceiling? Something tells me he'll have a couple more 5 point games this year. Today's was only in 13 minutes of icetime, just an absurd rare talent that leaves you breathless every game.

2017-2018 - Boeser
2018-2019 - Pettersson
2019-2020 - Q. Hughes (J.Hughes/Kakko potentially)

Could have 3 straight years with players in the Calder race.

 

[M2Beezy]

Time to closer up mods, he aint no prospect no more

Yeah... Q.Hughes won't be in the calder discussion next year.

 

[M2Beezy]

Yeah... Q.Hughes won't be in the calder discussion next year.

He will join the Canucks at the end of THIS season but will still be eligible for the calder next year so your post is FALSE

FACT

pretty sure they mean he won't be good enough, which is possible

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Yeah... Q.Hughes won't be in the calder discussion next year.

He could be. He will certainly take over the Canucks point on the top PP unit with Boeser, Pettersson and Horvat. There's no way he'd do a worse job than Edler or Hutton.

 

[Steely Van]

Yeah... Q.Hughes won't be in the calder discussion next year.

Vancouver will get Jack in the Draft and the Hughes brothers will be co- winners of the Calder.

Barzal was also playing with John Tavares, since Tavares left, his production has regressed.

Barzal never played with Tavares even strength. He played mostly with Eberle and Beauvillier/Ladd.
His regression is mostly to do with playing a more structured defensive game in Trotz's system vs last year's run and gun offense.

 

[Hokinaittii]

I never expected the kid to be this good, at least so soon into his career.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Me neither, at least not this early. I tried to temper the nucks fans expecations pretty hard b/c of his small stature etc, but Elias has proved me wrong. Really happy for the canucks and Elias that I was wrong

Then why is he a minus player?

 

[The ultimate fan]

Pettersson is a plus 10 on a mediocre team what are you talking about?

 

[ZEBROA]

I said it would not hurt with a couple of two point games, you did not have to make all points in one game. Thanks tho EP. Now you can take it easy for a game and a half.

 

[FinPanda]

Even 5 point games look so easy for him, incredible player.

Did you even ready my reply?

Barzal.

probably not but there's not an obviously way better candidate for it off the top of my head.
