Remember when people blamed Benning for drafting him over Glass?
Pettersson>matthews
Generational
If you watch him play he isn't that good.. very lazy on the ice and drags his team down a lot of times. As a nucks fan I can say he is very overhyped. Top 6 O atleast.
Generational potential
Petterson>Dahlin
Up where mama keeps da good stuff!
To bad he mishandled the puck on the shootout tonight. Howard was going the wrong way and it would have been epic.
Just NUT every time
dat lazer doe
i think people are tempted to compare him more to Datsyuk or Backstrom than a Bure just because of he has better passing
but TBH watch his break out speed and dat shot — he's very Bure esque
… so far … maybe … keeping my expectations very tempered … trying to prepare myself for a mean regression …
but it's really exciting to get excited ๐ hahaha

Thats a Gretzky in his prime slapshot!!
Mom where are the cookies
Thatโs what you call picked!
Jim Bennings deserves a a statue in Vancouver for drafting this guy
P I N G
The new Super Swede
This guy can become bigger than Forsberg, Sundin and Lidstrรถm. What would NHL be without the contribution of Swedish players?
I swear pettersson is gonna b the rookie of the year (unless he's injured)
That shot is so pure
Can't wait to see what more he can do!
Elias The Great
Pettersson is winning the Calder
Elias Pettersson > Auston Matthews
Brock Boeser > Mitch Marner
Bo Horvat > William Nylander

*homer simpson drooling noise
I dont understand, how is he able to just score at will? Are we looking at a potential franchise player?
Petterson goes oldschool
CANUCKS ARE WINNING BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK CUPS
As a Canuck fan I'm not used to having nice things. We have a long and illustrious history of draft busts. Look up our first round draft history for a good laugh
My God! 00:44
DAMN!!
At this rate Petterson could have 250-300 goals before other players his age graduate college get to the NHL.
So this is the thing and I am taking as a swede and a huge NHL fan, in 10 years I believe EP will go down as the consensus no1 pick when they do their re-drafts. With that said if he was picked at 1, the push to get him to play last year in the league would have been huge. Going at 5 meant there was no pressure, he could easily take another year in Sweden and develop. Please remember at 18 you are still a kid and with his size, one year earlier would have made a completely different timeline. Also, the fact he wanted to play another year in SEL comes into account(and shows his mental maturity). Most no1 picks need to play in the NHL the following year.
He will be the youngest to win the Hart too!
Dislikes are from Red Wings fans
What kind of stick does he use?
Elias is unbeleivable ! the real canucks 1st overall pick. So lucky , canucks fall in this lottery draft.
K his helmet is definitely too big on him lol
BUST
Gunshot
This is my favorite pettersson goal of the season
The youngest player doing it? Ehum, well, which are the other players that scored 10 or more goals in their first ten NHL games?
So which other players scored 10 goals in their first 10 nhl games?
Absolutely insane!
This Petey died. RIP.
I miss this swagger he had rookie yearโฆ
