Elias Pettersson 2018-19 Season Highlights | Calder Trophy Winner 

This is a highlight reel for an entire career for a majority of players. The kid did it in a rookie season 19 years old! Absolutely insane. Great video.

NHL: How good is your shot? Elias: Yes.

This kid is freaking insane. Can't wait to see him in the next couple years.

I'm not a big hockey guy but I really like the way he shoots. His swing is super smooth. It seems like he gets so much power, and also accuracy, from measured technique rather than brute force.

that pass right after he's tripped against vegas...pure filth

No matter how many times I see videos of him I get goosebumps. Kid is a star!

My one word for him is, threat. Doesn’t seem to matter where he is once he hits the offensive zone, you gotta watch out. Challenge, and he’ll brake your ankles, don’t challenge he’ll just wrist it top shelf. One timer, is insane. Passing. Insane. Skill. Off the charts. Speed. Hockey sense. It’s all there. And this is a rookie season. This is him, before he gets a bigger build, before he’s got a chance to get used to the league. What a season. You’re crazy if you think he doesn’t deserve the Calder. He is single handedly the reason I will be watching Vancouver next year. Don’t worry Canuck fans, your time is coming

You know a player is good in his rookie season, when colour commentators from basically every away team have a small hockey orgasm watching him play.

9:21 holy shit. he is like gretzky, he uses the threat of passing lanes to control defenders. he holds that puck until deep then he fakes dumping it around the net to move the defenseman just a bit, otherwise the passing lane is covered, and then threads the needle for the one timer. That is some next level shit.

Insane footage from his rookie year! Very very very few players can put togheter such a highlight video in their rookie season! Absolute bonkers!

One of the best releases in the league, this kid is otherworldly

I had goosebumps after 15 seconds. Tears after 2 minutes.

3:59 it took the sedins almost their entire careers to make that play work. These kids did it their first and 2nd year.

where did he go.....

Every shot he's taking.. you can see him aim. He finds the time to setup, aim and shoot every freaking time.. simply amazing 💪🏽💪🏽

Mind boggling how talented Pettersson is

He’s one timer is unreal. He’s actually unreal at everything really

Please God's just let this young man stay healthy..

he is probably one of the best rookies i have ever seen

Pettersson turned hockey into art

And the kid has only gotten more well rounded and better in the 4 years since this, I can't wait for a deep deep playoff run this year.

Rookie of the year‼️🏆💥🥂

Wayne Gretzky told in an interview that he sees similarities between him and Elias Pettersson as a hockey player. Let that sink in for a moment...

Big steal at number 5 , Canucks future looks insane!

Amazing talent. No words for this, this is a person who lives for hockey. Vancouver are very lucky to have this young talent. They better treat him right and they will have a very promising future

Hes got skill and also isn't afraid to go to the net to score.

Not going to lie.... I screamed "Noooooo!" when they drafted him, I wanted glass. Boy was I wrong.

He is the Chosen One. :)

I watched it twice this kid is so fun to watch. More Alien please

Wow! What a video, the editing, the choice of music!

2:10 jt miller slamming his stick. now they're linemates

His shot is insane! 🎯 Props on the Calder buddy. Dang!

Reincarnation of hank and daniel 🔥

Gr8 vid! Nicely edited and fitting music :)

Damn he is accurate. Like top corner of the met

After a game the kid leaves you with a smile on your face leaving the arena

Petey did admit the tight NHL schedule did take it's toll on him and that's fine. He needs to work a little on his conditioning so he can play a full 82 game schedule because he's used to more days in between games in Sweden. Having said that, a fully healthy Petey can wreck havoc upon the league in the years to come.

A ''STAR'' In The Makings... [Hockey Talk!}:

from finnish to swedish i salute you.

Top 5 talent in the league

that music transition around 2:48 mins made this thank you!

Music selection is absolutely on point.

Looking forward to see him play with Dahlin and the others in the world championship

I love that many of these are against teams that are in the playoffs. Just another reminder, the future is bright in Vancouver!

Nicely edited! It helps having jaw-dropping content to work with 😛

Absolutely insane shot! The accuracy is just next level! Can't wait to follow his career!

so proud of him

Insane.

The Canucks young core will become a dynasty eventually. Mark my words.

Watching this guy is like watching of stream of water , calm and relaxed in one moment , turn in to a vortex the next Makes me proud being a swede ! Go Elias !

Can’t wait for next season!

Helluva goal scorer. Thanks for drafting him Vancouver, and a special thanks to the other 4 teams that passed on 'em (especially Colorado).

Oh my god I really do see flashes of Gretzky

Blir så jävla glad när jag ser Elias göra poäng i högsta ligan!!! Fan va gott :D Önskar dig all lycka till i framtiden!

I had him in my hockey pool that year, what a surprise. Consider me a fan.

Petterson somehow makes falling look awesome

the chosen one

I'm so glad the Canucks "lost" the 2017 draft lottery and fell to 5th overall!

Looking back on the difference in how much of closer physical checks other teams do to him, speaks a lot from this year of his... Look forward to his transformation after he gets over his slump from this level of physicality from this league...

This gives me chills.

Imagine if the Sedins just did 1 more season in their own line....Canucks would be scary. Don't think anyone expected this line with boeser and Pettersson...

“How many 19 year olds do you see doing that?”

I didn't want to be hurt again so I was skeptical until the 10th goal off the left wing. He's dangerous from everywhere, especially that right circle. That shot is all technique, and he's still going to get bigger and stronger.

Who else recognized the iconic '94 Peter Forsberg olympic penalty tribute at 10:20? this kid is something else.

This kid was insane in his rookie season, can't believe it's been like 4 years now since his entry to the NHL

Some say that Mike Smith is still looking for the puck after that debut game goal...

The pass at 3:50 is unreal. Watching him at the World Championship will be so much fun :D.

This kid is unreal. Love how much more excited he is when a teammate scores then when he does it.

i watch this monthly. the kids a god

If Elias doesn't walk his way to Hall of fame, something is seriously wrong... The skills and the understanding of the game is so unique.. And yet so young...

This kid is unreal.

Great video

“we’re going to fill a need, a playmaker is what we need” little did they know the heavily scrutizined pick is already a franchise center heading into his fourth year in the league and is the best european playmaker i’ve seen come into the league since backstrom. not to mention one of the best shots in the league.

If I were putting forward an all-time Canucks lineup, I'd have Pettersson on my top line - with Naslund and Bertuzzi. Not only am I projecting he'll be that good, I'd also imagine he'd be beyond phenomenal with these two. He and Nazzy can make plays off each other, so you won't have a clue what they're going to do, whether they're going to pass or shoot, or what on earth are they seeing. Big Bert will be there to back them physically if things ever get rough, but he'll also be effective generating plays and finishing off.

Nice vid man

The Force is strong in this one.

give this boy the calder

the legend

I love watching Pettersson play, I think he's the best Swedish forward to enter the league since Nicklas Bäckström.

Half way in his rockie season, he was scoring like crazy but the really sick fact is that his shot % was 28! People say he don't shoot enuogh but he seldom throw the puck on chance. If he don't see the the opening he rather make a brilliant pass. In stark contrast to Miller...

This was a great video is so freaking kid @WDS

Look at the good benning announcing his name he didn't want him

5:34 tho my guy looked like he appeared out of thin air and scored such a smooth play

Ya, he is pretty good. ;)

God level player. IMO in 2 years, he will be the 2nd best player in the world behind McDavid. He's a mix between Gretzky and Datsyuk. Vancouver's future looks insane.

Pettersson is the new great one.

I cant even imagine how good he will be in a few years once he adds a few lbs to his frame

Hopefully next year will be the year for him

He are amazing

Wow!!!!

hopefully this is the last time i see pouliot on a canucks highlight video. ever.

Guys sick

Damn summer!.... Why wont you end!?

Not a Canucks fan but I'll be watching as many games as I can

ФЕНОМЕНАЛЬНО!!! Чудовищный талант у парня.

Listen to me guys im from TIMRÅ in Sweden and i have see Pettersson plays from his youngens and i tell you all. This man are gonna make hockey good again, He is hockey and going to be the best player EVER. Wait and see this is just the begining i tell you all.

he has some intercepted passes resulted in a goal,,, ive yet to see horvat and boeser do that,, dis hockey iq is off the charts

He’s got a shot like ovechkin my god

I just watched highlight videos of Bure, Mogilny, now Pettersson. Yes, he is going to be as great for Vancouver as those two were. He may not have game-breaking speed, but he's smarter than anyone I'd seen. Reminds me an awful lot of Gretzky, I think.

4:28 That release is something else.
