we are long over due for stanley cup parade
I'm a oilers fan and I love him he's the sedin twins in one body
Fast forward to 2018-19 season, looks like Canucks got a can’t miss elite player. Well done.
GOAT
Look at him now!!!
Gretzky?
Will go down as Biggest steal of all time
Fast forward to 2018-2019 season and he has lit up the scoresheet. 10 goals in his first 10 games. What a stud.
Should've been 1st overall in this draft and Canucks got very lucky that no one saw that he is a franchise defining player. Well done Jim Benning.
One year later, yup perfect pick.
thank goodness we didnt have the number 1 pick.
Just look at him now! He is ripping the NHL to pieces <3
All Hail Elias Pettersson!
I still remember what I said, WHO?!? but now I say HOW?!?!
Your a beauty Elias you are making the 2018-19team
U see him on ice…and it´s all "stone face"…but this vid shows a kid that´s got a ton of emotions. GREAT pick Canucks…congrats!
I loved him in Växjö Lakers in sweden
This kid is a god holy that powerful shot! 👌🏼
Det där e en stolt familj med kärlek 💓
Best draft move of all time
Why do these draft day videos always make me cry
You just know he's spent almost all his time on hockey cause his accent is so thick, no swede in this day and age would have such a thick accent.
I’ll Never forget where I was for this draft. Ramada in Kamloops. Mom came to
visit me because I was at school. I was PISSED we drafted him, wanted glass. Never been so happy in my life to be so wrong
Best player in the draft
Rewatching this now makes me want to cry :')
That Elias did not go number 1 is beyond comprehension
And look at him now in 2020…
Wait petterson has an agent
Biggest steal of the draft!!
Fast forward to 2019-2020, he hasn’t missed a beat since his rookie year. Meshing well with anyone he plays with. I love this kid
He's the Best! We love him amazing player.
