Scouting Reports:
“Two-way forward with elite playmaking ability, Pettersson is a crafty and intelligent center who will only get better as he fills in his frame. Smooth hands and great passing ability, and has the ability to finish off plays as well. Jack of all trades type player with high offensive NHL potential.” – Brandon Holmes, Riding Pine Hockey
“A crafty and agile two-way forward, Pettersson is consistently productive in all three zones. As he gets stronger, he’ll become even more physical and aggressive than he is now, and his creativity could definitely elevate his game to dominant levels. He can be described as a tenacious, jack-of-all-trades kind of player; he is well versed in all the important aspects of his own game. His speed and top-end acceleration continue to improve game by game, and his hard-nosedness shows through in his dogged pursuit of puck control. Elias Pettersson is a complete hockey player with exceptional hockey sense who brings intellect and youthful exuberance to a game that feeds on his kind of exciting athleticism.” – EP
