    Default What's wrong with Elias Pettersson?

    He's supposed to be a superstar in the making but looks like a super turd every game I've watched him this season. Why do people think he has super star potential?
    Something to do with wrist injury last year plus missing most of training camp, yeah, I get it, but he just looks awful out there. It's like his can't hockey anymore.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I think with the addition of Garland and him coming back there’s been some meshing going on. Miller has been shuffled around on all 3 lines and others on the PP. He doesn’t look right but hopefully it’s just a funk that he will snap out of soon. I don’t know if he’s going to be a super star but he definitely has the talent to be a star in the league. Just wondering if he can put it altogether for his sake and the Canucks chances.

    Elias Petterson started last year looking like total crap too. its a perfect time to buy low, although i tried and was rebuffed.

    He had 1 goal and 1 assist in the first 8 games last year then caught fire. Ended with 66 points in 68 games

    Coming from a Canucks fan, Pettersson is a PPG guy on a Canadian team desperate for positive news after 8 years of Benning crap. He's not a superstar, but he's still an excellent player and their best scorer. so he's been given the mantle of superstar without earning it. He'll rebound from his current slump, but I'm not expecting more than PPG from him in his career so he's a star but not a superstar IMO.

    He hasnt played much in the last couple years, relatively speaking. No training camp, new players, big pay check. Lots of pressure on him, some self imposed. He was talking about wanting to be on a winning team, I hope he has realized that he is the one that will be a big part of that happening or not.

    I think you’re getting your years mixed up. He only played 26 games and had 21 points last season. He did start slow and was catching up but got hurt and never came back.

    I did get my years mixed up. Last year he started slow with 2 points in 8 games then had 19 points in his last 17 games

    Well, this thread clearly did nothing to wake up Pettersson. He's now even worse than when I started this thread. Amazing transformation from a prince to a frog.

    He actually raked 10 FOW last night. Haven't checked but personally have NEVER seen him crack double digits in the dot before.

    Maybe VV just woke up the less beneficial part??

    Here's hoping VV's latest kiss brings our beloved amphibian back to points royalty!!

    LOL, if only.

    I am probably gonna have to bench him at this time. He's just wasting a roster spot. Of course, as soon as I bench him he's going to explode (which is the reason I haven't benched him since I keep thinking he's way underachieving, his underlying numbers are way off from his career average, he's about to break out).
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    IMO, he always had the potential, but it was still just POTENTIAL. Even in his good season, he had some issues. I still think he can get to a higher level, but he hasn't quite developed in the way many would have hoped. And Miller and Horvat are just more consistent and better options at the moment. I do not know if EP has the drive or determination to get to that level consistently. But this is just from a non Canucks fan perspective.

    If they do end up moving Miller, or Boeser, maybe EP gets better. But I am also not sure if he's really cut out to be a center. He's still not very good at FW.

    Please help with mine, thanks: https://forums.dobbersports.com/show...01#post2169301
