Canucks Young Guns

[Ronning's Ghost]

twigs can play hockey these days, don't know why that's so hard to comprehend.

In the regular season.

Maybe even in the playoffs, too -- if they play for a team favourably regarded by NHL officials. Pettersson, however, was drafted by the Canucks.

Looking over the posts on this board over the last seven years, most would conclude that the 2011 Stanley Cup Final made a more lasting impression on other Canucks fans than it seems to have made on SKYO.

....size ain't everything aha.

Certainly not. But if you're going to ice a small player, you had better have a plan in place to protect him.

Certainly not. But if you're going to ice a small player, you had better have a plan in place to protect him.

Instead of spending $6M on Kane, could instead spend a few bucks on Patty Maroon?




Then have a 3rd line of Maroon - Pettersson - Eriksson (if can't get rid of LE, might as well use him with the rookie).

That might be effective.

Name another 6 ft 2 165 pound guy in the league

They haven’t

Noah Juulsen.

"Tell him what he's won Blob!"

[Topper]

What was Eichel's size when drafted?

[BladesofSteel]

Brandon Sutter

[ESQ]

I think Johnny Geadreau is a good comparable for physical deficiencies, and he was 21 when he made the NHL.

Juulsen has ten pounds on Olli

[Blob Mckenzie]

Clayton Keller 5'-10" - 168 lbs
Kerfoot - 5'-10" - 153 lbs
Gaudreau - 5'-9" - 157 lbs
Marner - 5'-11" - 170 lbs

Should I keep going, Bushmills?

Bubbles he's actually now up close to 170lbs, please drop the 160 lbs bit

And these guys are 2 - 5 inches shorter. Kerfoot is now 175 lbs and four inches shorter. I like Pettersson but I don’t want the kid to get obliterated out there. Have a look at the video ESQ posted. He would still be skinny if you added 25 pounds to that skeletal frame. Keep in mind he’s a calendar year older than a lot of the kids in his draft class and it may take a while for him to pack on pounds. His brother is still very slight at 24. Pump the kid full of beef roids I say.

Seriously, Maroon would not be able to protect Pettersson.

Bubbles is right, we all need to cool our jets and be bearish on Pettersson. His ceiling at best is a poor mans Ryan Nugent Hopkins light. Book written! Just like the book that was written on Juolevi five seconds after we selected him over Tkachuk. Where are the Nick Ritchie's and terrible skating Vilardi's when you need them?

[SKYO]

Yeah better having Goldobin and Eriksson protect Pettersson hey.

Yeah that’s what I said

Vilardi is tearing up the OHL. You guys seem to want to see the kid get hurt

[Chef Boi RD]

Vilardi is a worse skater than Dal Colle and Dylan Strome combined and those guys tore up the ohl as well.
