Jimbo on Sportsnet saying that they expect Pettersson to be in the opening night lineup and be a contributor throughout the season. But if he starts lighting it up, somebody on the Canucks roster will have to have his back out there or he'll get killed.

If he keeps his chinstrap fashionably sagged like he's not expecting contact that helmet is going into the upper bowl.

The Vancouver Canucks have traded the 7th overall pick to the Edmonton Oilers for Milan Lucic.

Pettersson has tuned out Green already.

And he’s also looking to chat with Pettersson at some point soon. However, Green is discovering what Swedish Hockey League defenders discovered on the ice this season, the youngster is not an easy guy to track down.

“We’ve been texting back and forth,” Green laughs. “We planned on catching up after the season and then he made the World Championship team. And when he got hurt (broken thumb), I texted him and told him to get his surgery and heal up. We just haven’t connected yet, but I’m sure we will this week. I tried calling him, but those European phone numbers...I dialled, and it wouldn’t go through.”

Sounds like we can expect him in the top 6, no?

Good news. Green's bought into the hype and will give Pettersson every chance to succeed this year.

Have to say, I'm optimistic about Green. He's extremely articulate, thoughtful, and well-spoken for an ex-NHLer. Whether he is a good coach in terms of his systems is still to be determined. Will give him the benefit of the doubt based on the garbage he had to work with last year.

Yes, just not sure about Green either....could be the next Jon Cooper or the next Dallas Eakins....I guess only time will tell..
