He has Patrick Kane like skills but needs to get stronger to avoid the path of Pettersson. It wasn't long ago he was being anointed as a next great player.

Did it? They’re still stuck with Draisaitl.

I wouldn't write Pettersson off if I were you. I mean maybe that wrist injury keeps plaguing him but he was starting to get going pretty good the last while. And a wrist injury isn't really a strength issue.

He's playing better but people were comparing him to McDavid not all that long ago. He will be a 60-70 point player tops IMO.
