Elias Pettersson signs three-year, low-paying deal with Canucks

The Swedish forward is signed to Vancouver until the end of next season and his record is very important to the Canucks. The team's Twitter account made people happy for a moment today by announcing a three-year contract, but this is the entry-level contract for defenseman Elias Pettersson, the other Swede owned by the organization.

That's right, the Canucks have two Elias Pettersson's in their ranks, which is pretty special actually. While the young defenseman will now make his way to North America, the team's fans are now looking forward to Patrik Allvin getting a long-term deal with the forward.
