I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around two Elias Petterssons on the same team. Not gonna lie, it's a bit of a mindf**k.

EP squared!

[@dodgersallday4290]

EP x 2, squared wouldn’t make any sense

[@avijoe3700]

Only to people familiar with basic math i guess 😂

Canucks blue line 3 or 4 seasons from now: Hughes-Hronek Pettersson-Willander Hirose-Soucy (or insert veteran/journeyman here)

[@PimpPhilth]

Rough

[@nucksforcup1115]

@@PimpPhilthHughes = stud No. 1 Hronek = top four D Pettersson/Willander = projected top four D Hirose/Soucy = fit bottom pairing roles how exactly is this rough? This is a *projection* meaning obviously guys like Pettersson and Willander aren’t guarantees, but they fit the above roles if their development goes according to plan.

studs all of em.

Woo?

[@lindenwong5393]

I keep forgetting we have a second one

[@APJTA]

Does he have a middle name? There's gotta be an easier way to do this.

[@uncommon_scents]

I'm hoping he gets the name "repeat" on the team

[@Sanfrid97]

re:petey could also work :')

[@XxXNinjaFanXxX]

We have a second one?

Sad that our 3rd round pick is 10xs better than our 1st round pick of 2022 draft

cool take you have no idea what you're talking about 🤠

it would be easier if canucks didnt draft elias pettersson twice

[@Sanfrid97]

They wanted to make sure they got him

[@joeynova9896]

Quinn is our only offensive defenseman. FFS when will the Canucks add more offensive defenseman?! If you wanna win in the playoffs you need defenseman that can score! This team is hopeless! Forever in mediocrity!
