Vancouver Canucks star forward Elias Pettersson says he will not let contract status become distraction
Vancouver Canucks star forward Elias Pettersson says he’s stronger and heavier after a summer of intense conditioning and he won’t let his contract status be a “distraction.”
Pettersson said he's happy to be in Vancouver now and will focus on the coming season, adding it could be the media that turns his contract situation into a distraction. "If you can just let him play hockey that would be great," said Miller."He's a pretty good player. He's trained all summer. He's in really good shape again. I don't think he's worried about it. He's just really focused right now."
