Best Career Projection - Stützle / Point / J Hughes / E Pettersson

[Ace of Hades]

Went with Hughes on upside but Point is the safer pick. I think EP's injuries have probably hurt his development and will continue to do so. Stutzle could be the guy but he's a Sen so nothing good would come of that

Injuries haven't slowed down EP. He had 44 points in the last 35 games he played.

I'd lean towards Hughes being the best player, but objectively speaking... when you add Point to this poll it makes it a bit unfair when he's already got two cups to his name and some great playoff runs. Can't really vote against someone with a head start like that.

Ah so his current production means he couldn't have been better if he had played more hockey...interesting theory..

Don't twist what is said

When healthy, he is a PPG+ player.

I'm not twisting anything. You claim he hasn't been impacted by injuries in terms of development. I simply know that is absurd because missing time hurts development.

I didn't say he was bad. I simply think he'd be further developed which is a pretty reasonable position.

I mean it's a career projection thread and he plays less than anyone else on the list. That's going to hurt him in comparison.

He did not miss time, he was playing injured. Injuries did not halt his development when he had no problem producing when healthy. This isn't difficult to comprehend.

Dude. He has 245 games in 4 seasons. He's missed a quarter of potential games. A whole seasons worth already.

Two of those were shortened seasons league wide? Pettersson has played 85% of the Canucks games over that span, and most of the missed games were in one season.

Way to cherry pick. He played half of his career already in shortened seasons, and his rookie season was mired with a freak injury and a suspend able hit.

He will be fine.

My bad. Bit of a covid brain fart there.

Ill go with the guy that has 2 cups and a lock for the HOF at 26

he's not a lock

MacKinnon could've easily ended up with the 2018 and 2020 Hart trophies, wouldn't make him any better as a player though.

2018 only

Say what now? Is Claude Lemieux also in the HOF?
