Looked like a top line centre. Easily what this team needs most. There will be growing pains, but what a player.

Preseason matters for these prospects or they will be sent down.

Nah. I remember when Laine did nothing in preseason. Prospects of this level will get a look in regular season before sending them down.

Yes he played centre all game yesterday and played centre throughout training camp.
And yes Dahlen has been playing LW.

Just scary how quickly he can process the game. Look at that pass he made from behind his own net under all kinds of pressure to Baertschi for a clean breakaway. Very few players in the world would recognize that opportunity.

he can actually, many of his goals come from that 1 time location. Too bad he falls all the time lol
He had 1 assist, but could have had 2 more if it weren't for Talbot's save and Horvat hitting the post on an open net lol.

Not surprising.
He's showing why he is a top 3 prospect.

Watched the game after the Leafs game last night. Easy to see why he was one of the top prospects in the NHL last night (already had him top 5 in his draft year regardless).
Only criticism I have is maybe be a bit more patient on the PP instead of firing low % shots from the perimeter (to be fair one of them did generate a rebound where Goldobin later scored). I don't mind those seeing-eye shots through bodies to generate a rebound.
Processes the game at a incredibly high level though and has the high-end skill to match.

I have to disagree with this criticism. I can think of one time where he took a low percentage shot from a stand still in over 7 minutes of PP time. It led to the goal you described and encouraged the PKers to cheat away from him less when he had the puck.
I could see the argument that he wasn't generating enough movement when he held the puck. I could also see the argument that he passed to the net front guy for a jam play too often (about 4 by my count; I don't think it would have worked more than once against an NHL team).
But those are minor criticisms. Overall I still think he did a great job on the PP.
The best thing I can say about him was how adept he was at starting break outs from his own end. More than once he was the last man back and two passes later he had a break away.
He already looks like he can suceed as a centre, which I wasn't necessarily expecting.
that's quite an odd comparison, not sure i see that. Better skating Schiefele would be Eichel for me. those 2 guys are more meat and potatoes, Pettersson is more finesse and nifty style of player. He reminded me a bit of Datsyuk and Nikita Kucherov when I watched him last night. but to each his own.
