Elias Pettersson is very overrated, just like most of the other top players on the other Canadian teams.
In 4 years since being drafted, he's never had more than 66 points. And he hit that total during his first year in the league. He has since regressed.
He's 6'2 and 176 lbs. One of the smallest players in the league for his height. JT Miller, who hardly anyone talks about, has outproduced Pettersson since he arrived.

Pettersson is a year younger than Tkachuk. They've had about the same production (per game) during the last 3 seasons. No one is saying Tkachuk is a franchise superstar.

Might as well stick with Lindholm, who is much more all-around than Pettersson, without all the unnecessary hype. I hope someone offer sheets Pettersson, but I hope it's not the Flames.
The cap hit and draft pick compensation would be way too much.
