  1. To Pettersson, shoots wide of the net and the rebound is picked up by Pettersson, defensive line shift now and on comes Pettersson, dumps it behind the net, Patterson gives chase and he’s up against the boards with support from Pettersson.

    I don’t envy the commentators one bit, maybe the mission is get as many P*ttersons so that other teams can’t communicate who’s going for who.

  2. Both have impressed, esp give were only D+ 1/2 years respectively into their careers as late draft picks

  3. Getting a contract as a 6th round pick after your first training camp is pretty impressive. Must have really impressed

  4. Both already assigned back to Junior so these are largely “we’ll see you in Abbotsford when your season is over” moves.

  5. Is that a record for the earliest a 6th round pick in his D+O has ever been signed to an NHL contract out of Major Junior?

    Chiarot has to be stoked.

    …and if I recall correctly he was kind of a reach or WTF kind of pick wasn’t he?

  6. I think they should start targeting ‘Smiths’.

    There might be more to choose from thus extending the pool of talent to choose from.
