Elias Pettersson has arrived. We all see the clips and photos of the Vancouver Canuck superstar-in-the-making on twitter. There are a whole host of expectations, inflated by his historic SHL season and what we saw from a impressive rookie campaign from Brock Boeser.
Boeser had the best rookie season since Pavel Bure; and if he was able to stay healthy, he could have beaten the Russian Rocket’s rookie season. Despite being younger than Boeser in his debut, Canucks fans expect the same if not more from Pettersson.
The Canucks media has a reputation for being critical, but if you take an honest look, our mainstream sources don’t usually go after players.
