Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted December 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2023 He’s already 6’4” and 205 pounds at 19 years old. Could fill out to 220-225 pounds. He will be an anchor on our defence for a decade or more. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not even in the SHL yet. Plays in the Allsvenskan. He'll need to ripen in the AHL for a year before making the 1st place NHL team. I'd say he's 2 or 3 years away. We'll see what happens in the summer. Does he stay in Sweden or come over to play in the AHL next season.

I wonder if he'll come over to Abby as early as next season. that would be awesome if he could play there at age 20, and then get 1-2 years seasoning and be up by 22 years old on the big team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing him up against the Juniors he looks ready for NHL. I mean, he is playing against some of the best. Much better than last year. At least if he was in Abby we could call him up in the playoffs if needed. We are starting to have the biggest defense in the League! Myers, Zods, Jewels, D_EP just a bunch of giants that can move. Oh, Soucy too. and Cole but he needs some new skates or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Hronek Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) I'll have to say...... Aren't the Canucks lucky to have Rutherford, Alvin, Tocchet, Foote, Gonchar, and the twins all on our payroll? Seriously... I know it's slightly off topic but just look at our organizational structure and prospect pool now. Elias Pettersson (D), Lekkerimaki, Raty, Hirose, Silovs, Karlsson, Bains, Podkolzin, Willander, Hunter B, etc. In January of 2023, who would have thought that we would have had the type of 2023 that we did? Never ceases to amaze me. Edited December 27, 2023 by Jeremy Hronek 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he goes back this spring? I think he will play in the SHL next season. And then come to Vancouver the following year. He may go down to Abby for a year. I think he will be Soucy's replacement at some point on the 3rd pairing and then go from there. His ceiling is a 2nd pairing Dman. D-Petey and Willander might be playing together in the future... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Interference Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Through 2 periods of 2-0 (Sweden) game, Pettersson leads all players in ice time at 16:40. He's played over 3 minutes more than the next Swede (Willander). He's playing left and right side. Very steady and clearly has the trust of his coach in a close game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had it on at work and everytime I look at the screen, Petersson is on the ice and he looks like Mattias Olhund as others have said. Willander as the 2nd most icetime is showing that the coach is gaining confidence in him as well. He looks very composed and a beautiful skater. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no points today for Lekkerimaki, but he's been dangerous with a post and a few gorgeous setups. Looking forward to Canada-Sweden tomorrow.

That's interesting, if he is able to reliably play both LD and RD, that increases his value exponentially. We just want to take our time with him and make sure he's ready for the increased speed and physicality of the NHL before we pull him in. He's signed with Canucks and is on Loan to the SHL, so I believe that we could decide to pull him into Abbotsford at the end of this season in Sweden if we decided it was best for his development. I think they could even decide to just bring him over for the end of the AHL season and playoffs if they want to see how he looks and get him a little AHL playoff experience.
