The Vancouver Canucks Officially Part Ways With Elias Pettersson
The Vancouver Canucks have executed an official move, opting to loan out Jonathan Lekkerimaki and Elias Pettersson to Sweden for the World Juniors.
Before you raise an eyebrow, this isn't the renowned forward Elias Pettersson you might immediately picture; it's the team's prospect sharing the same name, but he's making waves as a defenseman.
This prospect, Elias Pettersson, wasn't the star of the 2022 draft; instead, he was the Vancouver Canucks' third-round pick (#80 overall). Now, he's gearing up to leave a lasting impression as part of Team Sweden in the upcoming World Juniors, hosted in Sweden.
With considerable anticipation surrounding this budding defenseman, the Canucks are eagerly anticipating the chance to witness his skill set shine on the international platform.
