Elias Pettersson Vs Mitch Marner going forward?

[John Johnson]

Agreed 100%. Can't see Pettersson ever reaching Marner's current level.

I like your Florida Panthers avatar there IPS, you can almost tell you aren't a Leafs fan.

 

[I am not exposed]

Wouldn't be because he's Swedish is it?

I doubt it.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Ah, the classic dishonesty of poll options.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Ah, the classic dishonesty of poll options.

Not sure why the OP bothered to separate the various options since at quick glance, most Leaf and Canuck fans just opt for the first or second option, and not the "fan of a team" option.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Petterson would allow the Aves to have a great one two punch up the middle of EP40 and Kadri. They could trade MacGinnon for futures or a good third line C. Or maybe even play MacGinnon at wing.

My head hurts

 

[Josepho]

diehard leafs fan giving this one to pettersson

 

[Sun God Nika]

Both players are beast put Pettersson is on another level.

 

[John Johnson]

I doubt it.

Probably just to you.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Where is this proof?

 

[Leafsrock95]

Hard to choose but I say Marner. Not sure what Peterson’s potential is he is a bit hard to read after his rookie year but I’ll stick with the safer pick on this one.

 

[Luck 6]

Pettersson is the most overrated player on this board.

NHL.COM put together a Petey top 10 reel. Surprising they didn't include the Ottawa game where he decided to take the game over but good anyways.

Not so sure. Watch that and remember you are watching a 20 year old rookie.

 

[Bank Shot]

Intrested to see how Pettersson fairs next year. I dont even think he will do worse per se but just interested in his usage and role and happens with the nucks.

Pretty good bet his goal scoring drops off.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Pretty good bet his goal scoring drops off.

While his assists and points go up.

EP has 40 goal scoring potential btw.

 

[I am not exposed]

Probably just to you.

I'm not too sure where you are going with this, but I highly doubt people think he is overrated because he is Swedish.

 

[I am not exposed]

Not so sure. Watch that and remember you are watching a 20 year old rookie.

Cool. He has a lot of talent and great potential. Doesn't stop him from being overrated imo.

This was meant as satire, right?

No sir that title still belongs to Mathews. Petey takes this but it's close.

 

[Luck 6]

Cool. He has a lot of talent and great potential. Doesn't stop him from being overrated imo.

Honest question, why do you consider him over rated? Most people suggest that he will be a 90-100 point centerman who is defensively responsible in his prime most years, and will often hover around or just above PPG for the rest. Do you disagree with that?

 

[TGWL]

I picked Pettersson because NYR can't afford Marner money. All things being equal, I probably go with Marner unless Pettersson end up a dominate #1c.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

This was meant as satire, right?

You don't think he could play wing or be traded?

 

[Merrrlin]

I'll take Mitch. Pettersson lost some of the magic in the 2nd half last season.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Wouldn't be because he's Swedish is it?

Wouldn't be because he's overrated is it? Certainly not. Must be Ray cis.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Let's review every game Pettersson played against the Panthers before we conclude Panthers fans are Ray cis for not declaring him TOP 5 GOAT.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Marner is pretty good too
