another petey x leo interview!! i translated it below via google translate (so again, apologies if there are any mistakes):

After a tough and injury-plagued season, Pettersson has a lot to prove this fall. In 2024/25, he was limited to 45 points (15+30) in 64 games, almost halving the 89 points he had the year before. The criticism has been fierce, and the $11.6 million-per-season contract with the Vancouver Canucks adds extra pressure on the 26-year-old to bounce back.

For Leo Carlsson, it's the third and final year of his rookie contract with the Anaheim Ducks. A strong season would put him in a very good negotiating position for his next contract.

“I want to be able to start the season the way I finished the last one,” says Leo Carlsson, referring to his 25 points in 28 games after the 4 Nations Face-Off in February.

“I just want to keep at it and find confidence in it. I want to try not to have any slumps, which is hard to say now of course. But that's what's been a bit bad about my game, that I haven't been able to keep a consistent level in my game. Is that what my goal is right now?”

Is that something you think comes with experience?

“I absolutely think so. You become more and more comfortable in the league too,” Leo answers and adds: “Then I'm keen to win a draw against Elias this winter too.”

Hasn't that happened yet?

“One maybe, but there aren't many,” he chuckles.

“I think I had my record against you, I think I had 20–5 in draws,” Elias Pettersson smiles.

How are things going for you, Elias? What are the goals for you?

“The goals for me? Yes… Of course, the last season was nowhere near the level I want to be at. But what can you say… That’s in the past. I just look ahead and want to find myself again and be the player I can be next season.”

How are your preparations going, Leo?

“Just training, training a lot with the guys in Karlstad. Going on the ice a little later, a normal hockey summer really.”

I guess the answer is similar from your side, Elias.

“Absolutely, training all summer. The preseason was longer this year with the missed playoffs, so it's about taking advantage of it and using the extra time to get in as good shape as possible next season.”

You missed the end of the season due to injury. Have you had time to recover?

“I've recovered. There were a few minor hiccups during the season, but everything has healed now and it's full steam ahead in the gym.”

We're going to finish by turning it around a bit, so I'm going to ask you, Leo, how many points will Elias score in the 2025/26 season?

“Just say more than last season,” Elias laughs.

“Hmm, I think you can score 92 points next season, absolutely.”

Would you be happy with that, Elias?

“Yes, absolutely.”

“I think you could score 100 points too. 92 to 105,” Leo adds with a big smile.

Elias, how many points does Leo score?

“I say he's at least over a point per game.”

It's a contract year too…

“Yes, you always get better then,” Elias laughs. “There's something to that. But I think he does… Okay, if you play every game I think you'll score 85 points.”

“That's more than enough,” Leo says happily.

That's 40 points more than last season.

“Yeah, something like that,” Leo laughs.

Bonus question, what do you think Leo's next contract will be, Elias?

“Should you have a bridge contract or eight years,” Elias asks Leo.

“Eight.”

“Okay, then we'll say eight years and 9.5 million dollars.”

Oh, you'll take that?

“I'll take that, that's for sure, Leo laughs.”
