Both were traded so Van could get 5 first round picks for the draft in Van.

Elias Pettersson’s agent Michael Deutsch on SN 650, “His thumb is fine. Elias went through a very rigorous.workout routine this summer. I think your going to see Elias reach another level because you have not seen his full physical development by any stretch.” #Canucks

Roberto Luongo interviewed in Florida this afternoon. - “Yeah Vancouver has the most supportive fans in the league.”... “I never once felt under the gun there.”

Deutsch on talking with Pettersson about playing in a hockey crazy Canadian market, “I have talked to him about that but he faced media pressure in Sweden last year that was astronomical. He has been through some pretty good training for that." #Canucks

He is a godam liar.

Funny. Everyone I know who’s in game design is in phone game apps. Even my brother in law. Such a huge market. Great way to make a name for yourself.

Except 99% of people who are video game enthusiasts have no respect for mobile games. The only reason the mobile market works that way is because it rakes in the most cash.

good goalie but this quote pretty much covers it. i remember when he was first traded to the team and don taylor asked him why he chose "1" for his uniform number. he showed some swagger and said, "number 1. that says it all."

as a fan, it made me giddy. the reputed best goalie in the league with such confidence.

and now, a decade and a half of history later; he sarcastically jokes about the pressure of being on a top contender in a top market.

I like how you left out the best comment of all.

Deutsch on it's just not about points with Pettersson, "Elias is committed to a 200 foot game. Look at his plus-minus last year, look at how few goals he was on against. He is a committed defensive player.

True and that makes his accomplishments last season in Sweden even more impressive.

makes you wonder how little the puck must have been in the defensive zone when EP was on the ice?

But, but...plus/minus is a useless stat, says the analytic crowd.

Like any stat. It's how you view the context of it.

He's still has room to grow his game. His body has room to grow. Probably 2-3 years and we will see the best he has to offer.

I'll be so pumped if Pettersson weighs in around 175

Lets hope he doesn't have shoulder issues like RNH.

The Nucks have their own Zack Bogosian clone, haha Wish him luck and good health but he will be on the shelf by November

Can you imagine Forsberg 2.0?
- thundachunk

I don't know if he has the power type of game. Maybe more of a Daniel Alfredsson or Markus Naslund?

I can not wait to see him play. I just hope he is elusive like the Kanes and Panarins and then the weight will not matter as much. If he is going to rocked a lot he will be injured. He kind of reminds me of a young Michael Backlund, hopefully better and healthier. His skill set is off the charts but this is a new league. I always worry because D. Rundblad was off the charts and best defenceman in the SHL and you all know how he panned out.
