NHL free agency is officially open and the rumors continue to swirl as to which players where some big-name players will end up.
Most do not believe the Detroit Red Wings will be a big player in free agency but TSN writer tweeted out a message this morning that has everyone talking.
Travis Yost of TSN just tweeted out that he is “Watching Stevie Y today #pettersson”
Yost, of course, is referring to C Elias Pettersson of the Vancouver Canucks.
Petterson, who was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, was an All-Star in 2019-20 as he scored 27 goals and dished out 39 assists in 68 games. In 20 games during the 2020-21 season, Pettersson scored 10 goals and had 11 assists in just 26 games.
Nation, do you think Yzerman should make a play for the youngster?
Watching Stevie Y today. #pettersson
