Recently, Elliotte Friedman had a conversation with Elias Pettersson, diving into what's ahead for the Vancouver player. Pettersson's main focus is preparing for the upcoming season, so discussions about a contract extension are on hold. Friedman made it clear during an NHL Network interview that this doesn't mean Pettersson wants to leave the team.

Friedman pointed out that Pettersson is inclined to wait and see how the team performs before committing to a long-term deal. He shared,

"Canucks fans, don't worry about him leaving. That's not the vibe I got. He just wants to ensure the team has a shot at winning before signing a long contract."


Shifting the spotlight to the Bruins, Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now delved into how the Pettersson situation might be seen from Boston's perspective. This is noteworthy, especially as Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames could become an option. Murphy suggested the Bruins are keeping tabs on both players, even if they decide to start the season with their existing lineup.

Pettersson could serve as a solid backup plan for the Bruins. Since the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, the team has been on the hunt for a potent center presence. While Lindholm is their primary target if a significant move is possible, Pettersson's youth and potential could make him an appealing alternative choice for the team's strategy.
