So, I’m usually the first person on this site to dampen expectations and use a clear, level head when we talk about our players, especially rookies on the Vancouver Canucks. Well, call me a hypocrite, because I can’t resist it anymore.
Before the preseason, I kept telling myself this summer to keep my expectations moderate for Elias Pettersson. Continuing to remind myself that as Canucks fans, we don’t seem to get nice things, or at least a price must be paid. Pettersson could get hurt, the rest of the league could focus on shutting him down on a team thin in depth.
