Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson reportedly didn't get along well with Daniel and Henrik Sedin, who have served as development coaches for the team for the last few seasons.
The 2024-25 campaign was one to forget for the Vancouver Canucks as they missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons and dealt with injuries throughout the year, along with a rift between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller.
That rift between Pettersson and Miller rift between Pettersson and Miller was one of the biggest stories in the National Hockey League this season, which resulted in the latter being traded to the New York Rangers in January.
Vancouver Canucks' Elias Pettersson reportedly didn't get along with Sedin twins
Elias Pettersson went on to have a pretty strong finish to the 2024-25 campaign by registering ten points in 11 games before suffering a season-ending injury against J.T. Miller's New York Rangers in late-March.
With his solid play that month, rumors began to ramp up once again about the potential of the Swedish forward being move this summer, something Patrik Allvin didn't rule out when speaking with reporters in April.
"I would be stupid not to keep my options open." Allvin said.
Beyond Pettersson's play on the ice to finish the season, behind the scenes, it was a tough year for him, dealing with his poor start to the campaign, that rift with J.T. Miller and his name being in rumors, but according to Don Taylor of Donnie & Dhali, the 26-year-old reportedly didn't get along well with the Sedin twins.
"You know, his personality, I shouldn't say his personality, but he has to play, whatever swagger he has, whatever confidence he has, whatever ego he has and I'm sure it's pretty big, they all are, play to it and make sure you come back in the best shape of your life.
And you know what, this has precedent to the organization. You hear things like he doesn't get along with Henrik and Daniel and he's not listening to them, whatever the case may be. But man, I'm telling you guys, those guys provide a wonderful, exceptional example for Elias Pettersson regarding conditioning. They weren't in great shape when they first came to the Canucks. Their skating wasn't great and they worked their asses off to improve their conditioning and you know, Daniel did a marathon the other day, to the point where they best conditioned athletes in the entire Canucks organization." Taylor said during an appearance on Canucks Central on Sportsnet radio.

If that happened to be true, regarding Pettersson not getting along with the Sedin twins, that's not great to hear as those two are there to help players like him grow and reach their potential.
Henrik and Daniel Sedin are great assets to the Vancouver Canucks organization and have the the experience and knowledge to help players such as Elias Pettersson and hopefully next season, the Swedish forward will use the twins to help him reach whatever goals he may have, which hopefully results in him returning to being a 100-point player.
