He may end up with more career points as a Canuck than Bure, but I don't think he's a better player. He is an outstanding talent for sure though.

exactly

He also had 51 goals in his last season and was on the team that went to the finals.

If you talk overall, Elias has a LONG way to go to pass Sedins and/or Markus Naslund. Sweeds do well in Vancouver though. Ohlund, Edler (even Sundin had half a season)

Don't think I disagree
Ek is wrong on this one
Leaving Bure off that list is wrong
Ek should have mentioned Bure/Naslund/Twins/etc...
The truth is Pettersson is great but has to keep it up for a long time
Ek seems to have overlooked that

You have to think there's a chance he can be though
Others maybe, too
Unless the injury bug
Rears its ugly head

A lot of time will pass before we know where he ends up
Can he eclipse Bure?
Can he eclipse the twins?
Only time will tell
Underlying issues with the team will not help
Nevertheless, he's a very talented player
That's for sure

No, the best Canuck ever, would be Luke Schenn (LOL) or Pavel Bure.

He's going to have to pass Trevor Linden, Bure, Mogilny, Kesler, the Twins, Naslund, Bertuzzi, Luongo, Ronning, McClean and arguably Quinn Hughes. The kid has a long way to go.

Nice to recognize a Canuck player other than for a trade. However playoffs make the greats. Plus Petey might not resign to see any Cup runs. Playoff contention just seems so far away with the futile inconsistency.

WTF was Philly thinking in 2017. Looking at who was drafted after Patrick, that entire management team should be fired. All the scouts wanted Makar. Man, how that would've changed things

2. Philly - Nolan Patrick
3. Dallas - Miro Heiskanen
4. Colorado - Cale Makar
5. Vancouver - Elias Pettersson
