Pettersson, who doesn’t appear to have any relation to the current Canucks forward drafted in the first round in 2017, played for Orebro in the SHL – Sweden’s top-flight hockey league. He had 10 goals and eight assists in 37 games last season.

Naturally, hockey Twitter had lots of fun with this pick.

You heard correctly.

Yes, we did just select Elias Pettersson at the 2022 #NHLDraft.
