The Vancouver Canucks have selected Elias Pettersson with their 80th overall pick in the third round of the 2022 NHL draft. No, Really. There appears to have been a glitch in the matrix.
In a strange twist of events, the Canucks have just landed a second Elias Pettersson on their team.

The original Elias Pettersson, drafted 5th overall by the Canucks in 2017, has blossomed into a superstar since entering the league in the 2018-19 season. So far in his career he has put up 221 total points in 245 games.
