I was so confused
Swear at first glance the picture they use looks like EP40 too
I legit went “WTF” when I read this haha
The picture totally threw me off guard and then I remembered there’s two of them
Another bridge deal, SMH this management is incompetent
/s
I was expecting a more click-baity title tbh. EP40 isn’t eligible to sign a new contract until July 1 anyway
Holy shit I thought this was an extension lmao
Can he play for Abbotsford in the playoffs? Or does this begin next year?
OP with the missed opportunity for a title like “Canucks sign Elias Pettersson”
W need Elias Pettersson and Elias Pettersson to play together
Discount Elias Pettersson
Can’t believe we only got 3 years for our franchise centre smh my head
This is actually pretty impressive, how well did he play this year that he’s already signed an ELC D+1?
now, how are the jerseys gonna look? You can’t do what the Sedin’s did and just slap their initials. I guess their numbers will differentiate them, but is that enough?
this is all so next year they can fool some GM with a pettersson trade
They’re probably going to do Petey’s contract next, expecting it somewhere around Pasta’s range, probably more
Whichever team ends up with 1OA we should offer them Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser and our 1st
Gotta catch ‘em all
Another Allvin W
1. Get Calgary to hire Jim Benning
2. Trade “Elias Pettersson” to the flames
3. ???
4. Profit
We need both Sebastian Ahos now for double confusion
Have we got nicknames set for Elias? Elias I and Elias II? EP40 and EPXX (whatever his number will be.)
I hope he is invited to training camp so that he can meet his idol…..Elias Pettersson.
And I hope Canucks social media does some funny skits with both Petey and D-Petey!
Just woke up eyes not fully open and i damn near had a heart attack for a second.
Very cool though!
His SHL team beat out Timra….Petey (and Petey’s brother is currently playing for Timra) in the playoffs.
Here’s to hoping D-Petey is our steady stay at home defenceman that we’ve been looking for since we lost TANEV?
I’m seeing double. Four Krustys!
Alvin said in the press conference they are optimistic to sign Elias Pettersson to a contract this summer, well I guess he was right.
I mean, cloning worked with the Sedins. Why don’t they do this all the time with their good players?
good signing. I think he has potential to be a middle pair stay at home D man.
It’s gonna be so much worse if this Pettersson gets traded.
You’ll open twitter, Reddit, etc. and see the words “Canucks”, “Trade” and “Elias Pettersson” and cry until you realize it’s not #40
It’s still fucking weird to me that we have two Elias Petterssons
Petey helping us with our cap problems by signing an ELC.
Jokes aside has anyone here watched this guy play? Bottom pairing ceiling?
