If he stays his whole career? Probably #1, unless Hughes ends up having a better career.

Below Hughes

In terms of skaters, he is currently 19th overall in scoring with a shot of becoming top 12 in Canucks all time scoring if he can maintain around a PPG until the end of the season-not unreasonable.
It depends if we re-sign him by the end of the year. Another 4 year extension with 80+ points every year would put him over 700 points which is good for top 5 in scoring behind Canuck legends like Linden, Naslund, Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
If he plays here until retirement, he will easily surpass the Sedins in scoring. So he has a great chance of becoming one of the best players to wear a Canucks jersey.
Of course, there is one other person who could be the all-time best Canuck when all is said and done, even better than Pettersson himself:
Hughes.
OrcaBoi
Based on the last couple weeks it will be somewhere between Mason Raymond and Russ Courtnall.
acerbiac
It depends!
CarlSpackler22
2 behind Hughes
Semprovictus
my best bet is between 1-3 on every list by the end of his career.
it’ll be arguable for people between Hughes, petey and bure as the best players to wear the jersey.
my guess for myself will be 1, most will probably have him at 2 behind Hughes when he brings us home a cup, and the oldies will always say « but did you see bure live »

If he can win the cup here him and Hughes will be the greatest of all time.
CanadaKC
Do you mean Barry Peterson or Elias Pettersson?
natedogjulian
Nowhere unless he pull up his boot straps and get to work
Kyell
He sucks right now though. If second assists weren’t a thing and empty net goals didn’t count it would be really bad. I think as long as he keeps the main spot on the pp he will likely keep close to a ppg on the backs of other players.

It’s kinda crazy how Hughes and Petterson might end up being the 2 best Canucks of all time (if they stay here their whole careers)
kkchunkee
Number 1 in speed , agility and power.
TheOtherSide999
If he leads the team and wins a cup, sure, also depends on how Quinn plays in that playoffs
footcake
Above Messier, below J. Hughes
SuddenlyChineseFood
Points-wise, easily top. But if you’re asking for subjective greatness, ultimately he’s gonna have to cement his legacy in the playoffs and these cold spells better not become a habit.
You would hope he is at least top 5 with Bure, Sedins, and Hughes. Pushing Linden to 6. He could be #1 all time, but quite frankly Hughes might be tracking better for that spot.

Petey has a lot more to prove, and I’m excited to watch it.

On par with Naslund

2nd greatest Canuck behind Quinn Hughes.

Right around Toni tanti
UncommonHouseSpider
He will be one of them, that’s for sure
bitchpigeonsuperfan
It depends on what he does here. Mogilny was incredible, but the team floundered and they never accomplished anything.
AidsRiddled
Underwhelming but overhyped so pretty good but not enough to build a team around
NitasBear
In terms of raw talent and potential, one tier below Bure.
About the same tier as the Sedins and Luongo. Potentially even higher if he manages more individual awards, a Cup or a higher PPG clip.
One tier above Naslund, Bertuzzi, Linden, Smyl.
Black___Yoda
Has potential to be greatest Nuck of all time. Could have a 1400 point career if health is on his side. But obviously would need to stay here and play on some good teams. Quinn also has potential to take the crown.
Adewade
Are we trading for Cal?
stucazz1001
Below the sedins, bure, naslund, hughes, luongo and maybe miller.

Lower than Miller and Hughes. Petey is overrated and a streaky player.
