In this episode, I'm joined once again by Harman Dayal of The Athletic to figure out just how much Elias Pettersson has changed through the first 16 games of the Vancouver Canucks' season.
When Harman last joined the show, he wasn't convinced Pettersson could return to form without regaining his old skating speed. Now, despite that speed still being a concern, Harman believes he's performing like a first-line centre again. But how sustainable is it?
We also discuss Marco Rossi's difficult start, the development of Tom Willander and Zeev Buium, and which Canucks might be getting too much or too little credit. Plus, we react to the NHL's new Hometown Remix jerseys.
