‘A Fresh Start’: Boeser Sees an Inspired Pettersson Ahead of New-Look Canucks’ Camp
Brock Boeser says Elias Pettersson is using a fresh start and new leadership to try to regain the form that once earned him a major contract.
- Ahead of training camp next week, Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser said teammate Elias Pettersson appears in a "great headspace" and is working to rediscover his elite form.
- Pettersson burst onto the North American scene in 2018-19 with 66 points as a rookie but saw his production dip to 0.70 points per game following his $11.6-million average annual value contract.
- Franchise legends Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin were promoted to co-presidents of hockey operations, while Manny Malhotra was hired as head coach and Ryan Johnson became general manager.
- Malhotra brings three seasons as a Vancouver assistant and four more with Toronto before leading the American Hockey League's Abbotsford Canucks, while Boeser expressed optimism about the "fresh start."
- The 29-year-old Boeser aims to take an increased leadership role with the younger group, saying, "I think just with the new changes, it gives me hope" as the team navigates deep NHL waters.
