   Some interesting quotes in the article:

   When you see Pettersson play for the first time as a teammate, it makes a lasting impression.

   “You heard from afar how skilled he is, but I didn’t know how complete a player he is,” said Canucks’ free-agent acquisition Curtis Lazar, who has played the demanding centre position but is more comfortable on the wing.

   “The thing for him is once he understands how much we rally behind him when he gets that voice (in the room) because he’s a quiet kid. But the way he plays is incredibly smart and you can throw him in that Selke Trophy conversation at some point.

   “And he’s a gamer for a guy who’s not that big in stature. He competes. He’s been one of our few bright spots this season.”

   Also:

   Canucks forward Sheldon Dries has had to grind to stay in the NHL as a bottom-six fixture. He knows how hard it is to get to this level, so placing a value on Pettersson’s overall future worth has to include the intangibles that don’t show up on a scoresheet.

   “It’s his will to always get better,” said Dries, who has played centre and wing this season. “He’s a superstar in this league for a reason and he’s never satisfied. He’s always working on something, whether it’s his shot or defensive play or faceoffs.

   Petey negotiations should be easy if he wants to stay here. He’s a no brainer to give whatever it takes to keep him.
