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

[Dump Itch]

Sustainable?

 

[Peeps]

Pettersson and Boeser are some very nice players , if Vancouver keeps going like this , they could get another solid player in 2019 and start acquiring complimentary players to fill out the team.

Bo too

 

[Wry n Ginger]

The points are obviously huge but I am blown away by the little things he does that do not lead to points. From his back checks to little things like never making a bad line change he is an absolute treat to watch. He reads opposing defensemen and is a constant threat to come out of nowhere and pick of a cross ice pass. Since Boeser has been healthy they are one of the most dangerous duos in the NHL. Calder? What about Hart trophy if the Canucks are close to a playoff spot and he continues to have as big of an impact on his teams success? He might not be the odds-on favourite but he will be in the discussion.

 

[42]

Sustainable?

13.1 oiSH% so probably not but not a big regression either. Should finish the season just below PPG.

 

[Bevans]

13.1 oiSH% so probably not but not a big regression either. Should finish the season just below PPG.

Meaning no more than 42 points in next 48. He's currently on pace for 57 points per 48 games. So his pace would have to drop by 26%. If he and Boeser stay healthy, I take the over. But I think it will be in that neighborhood.

Agree with alot here but he won't sniff the Hart this year.

It will be interesting to see how Bo is compared to elias going forward.

Which will be great for Canuck fans.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Still a prospect?

 

[GetFocht]

Still a prospect?

nope, lets close and lock this thread now.

 

[ddawg1950]

There was lots of chatter about this, obviously there’s some speculation involved but he valued Makar very highly at the draft Draft notebook: If Makar was available, Canucks could have been sweating

Yes to the "speculation" part because it seems that they valued all the top five prospects highly. I imagine every GM in the league valued them that way.

But we got the best one.

 

[McClelland]

This "prospect" are 31 in the Art ross race, splitting that place with J.Tavares, have 4 less Gp and less toi!
And what about his supporting cast!

GRADUATED!

It's like having Patrice Bergeron and Pavel Datsyuk on the same team. Poor Canucks.

Pretty much.

Let's see if they build around those 2.

 

[hellstick]

Pettersson is good, let's close this circle jerk.

 

[Rowlet]

It's like having Patrice Bergeron and Pavel Datsyuk on the same team. Poor Canucks.

probably closer to Mike Richards or ROR than Bergeron

 

[ScottishCanuck]

The prospect threads have always stayed open for the rookie season. Don't see why it should be any different.

 

[CP4]

This is still a good place to keep Pettersson discussion going. Otherwise the main boards will fill with more of them instead.

 

[GetFocht]

probably closer to Mike Richards or ROR than Bergeron

yeah, no. You haven't watched Pettersson, he plays a very unique game at at every elite level.

 

[CP4]

yeah, no. You haven't watched Pettersson, he plays a very unique game at at every elite level.

I think he meant Bo plays more like Richards or ROR, not Pettersson.

 

[Siludin]

probably closer to Mike Richards or ROR than Bergeron

damn start the rebuild

 

[Rowlet]

yeah, no. You haven't watched Pettersson, he plays a very unique game at at every elite level.

what? how could you possibly think I meant that EP plays more like ROR/Richards than Datsyuk instead of Bo

I even said more like ROR/MR than Bergeron, so do you think that in the comparison of Bo/EP and Berg/Datsyuk that EP is Berg and Bo is Dats?

 

[clunk]

If Bo reaches Mike Richards' prime, I will be very happy. Comparing Bo to Mike Richards is a big compliment to Bo, imo.

 

[Orca Smash]

He skates much better then mike richards, kesler is a better comparison then richards imo.

 

[CP4]

If Bo reaches Mike Richards' prime, I will be very happy. Comparing Bo to Mike Richards is a big compliment to Bo, imo.

We need to get Bo some cocaine and he'll be set.

 

[Addison Rae]

Horvat plays nothing like Mike Richards or Kesler.
