Elias Petterson

This doppelgänger pair absolutely baffled me as the Vancouver Canucks recently drafted their second player by the name of Elias Petterson. The team out of Canada picked the younger Petterson with the eightieth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft and will pair him with veteran Elias Petterson that they drafted with the fifth overall pick in 2017. There older of the two ended up being a stud for the Canucks, so I figured they found this to be a relatively safe pick. The weirdest part of this double pair is that they both are six foot two, both are from Sweden, and both are left handed. So now you have five abnormal character qualities surrounding these Swedes as it really is a one in one trillionth chance this was possible. What’s even crazier is that when you look at them, they actually look pretty similar with the same blonde hair and style. When I first saw this video on my Instagram, I was completely and utterly mesmerized as I had no idea the odds of that were even possible. I have never heard of such an utterly insane drafting by a team. What makes this even more wild is that this is the second time this has happened. In the 1989-90 season, the Vancouver Canucks once again had two players with the exact same name in Greg Adams. Maybe the team from Vancouver is doing this on purpose? This was a very weird and outside of the box doppelgänger pair I absolutely needed to share and one I will never forget.
