Lucas Pettersson's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - June 11th: "Pettersson is the kind of forward who can be used in a variety of roles. He provides offence, but can also check top lines and take key face-offs in the defensive zone."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 3rd: "He was a high-end offensive performer at the Swedish U20 level, had a productive U18 World Championship, but he lacks the dynamic skillset that would boost his projection. There’s not really any one stand out trait beyond Pettersson being a steady performer with some clear hockey smarts and offensive know-how."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "He’s a smart and well-rounded two-way center who has some talent and understands how to get the most out of his game. He's a good skater (maybe a very good one). He’s patient player who protects and shields pucks well, waiting for his linemates to play off of him so that he can put them in good spots and win his shifts."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "He wins a lot of battles, and despite his size, he excels in the tough areas of the offensive zone. He's not the most dynamic player you'll ever see, but the sum of the parts looks like a potential bottom-six forward or fourth-line center in the NHL."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "Pettersson has nothing to show for with MoDo’s men’s team, but he’s been downright tremendous with the U-20 team – and one of the best Swedish national team players, too. As a centerman, Pettersson plays a stout two-way game and has really shown more confidence as the season has worn on."

Seth Ditchfield - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "Lucas Pettersson has emerged as one of the top centers in the J20 this season, embodying the essence of a 200-foot player with his high motor and skating talents. His constant scanning of the ice and ability to manage the puck in tight situations allow him to make smart, tactical decisions in split seconds."
