Swedish hockey insider Mike Zanier says there are rumblings Elias Pettersson will spend another season in Sweden, where he can again play heavy minutes and work on improving his strength.
Mike Zanier, from SHL broadcasts, says Elias Pettersson has taken his game to another level in the SHL Final. Mike says Pettersson seems to grow in confidence as the games get harder, and he wouldn't be surprised if Pettersson takes it up another step at the World Championships
Mike Zanier, doing colour commentary in Sweden, says Elias Pettersson has quickly adapted to tougher playoff hockey in Sweden. Mike also Jonathan Dahlen is "a real hockey nerd" who loves the game and has a passion to get better, and expects Dahlen to adapt quickly to AHL hockey with Utica
Mike Zanier, who does colour commentary on SHL games, says Elias Pettersson's patience and vision with the puck remind him, just a bit, of a certain all-time great. Mike says the more he sees of Pettersson, the more he likes him...and Pettersson's defensive game is very underrated, too.
SHL radio analyst, Mike Zanier, says Elias Pettersson has moved back to playing centre and seems to be getting stronger and better as the season continues. Mike also has a feeling Jonathan Dahlen may end up on the same team, Vaxjo, as Pettersson, and perhaps on the same line
Mike Zanier, doing colour commentary in Sweden, says Elias Pettersson is playing the wing instead of centre and is doing most of his damage on the power play. Zanier says you can see Pettersson's skills in those situations. Mike also says going to 2nd division Timra is a good landing spot for Jonathan Dahlen, and he expects Dahlen to have a very good season
