Elias Fredrik Pettersson

This is actually a tough one, good thread.

I would take Mitch, but I do believe you could not go wrong with either.

As to who is more talented, toss a coin lol Mitch missed a ton of time this year, and is only two points behind EP. But stats are only one way to compare.

EP is leading a Benning built Canucks team to 1st in the division as a sophomore

His 102.7 mph shot (higher than Ovechkin) equates to 99.5 mph with one hand which equates to 2 mph more than Marner's 2 handed slapper #MATH

Going with Marner because it's hard not to since he had 94 points last season and he's been playing great since he's now on Matthews line at 5v5.

 

[Nabrules]

Pretty easily Petterson for me. Love Marner too but you're not going to pass up the package Elias Pettersson brings

It's actually a pretty decent poll but I have to go with EP.

While the result may not be close, the players are pretty close in terms of quality IMO.

Going with Marner because it's hard not to since he had 94 points last season and he's been playing great since he's now on Matthews line at 5v5.

Marner gets to play with either Matthews or Tavares who are legitimate star 1st line centres, so either fairly or unfairly, his production is going to viewed through that lens.

???? marner is scoring at an even higher rate than last year. He was injured for 11 games and is pacing for 104 pts/82 games despite a high ankle sprain.

picking EP is fine. But marner is having a better year than last year. I’m pretty sure he is top 3 in scoring since his return from injury in early dec

He has two less points in 11 less games than Pettersson and is putting up 1.25 ppg.

Certainly couldn't hold it against anyone preferring Pettersson, though.

Marner right now but I think EP will have a better career.

 

[TheDoldrums]

this is a complete list of all the players who have more points than Marner since he returned from his injury and started playing for Sheldon Keefe

Artemi Panarin

the end

Love them both but see Pettersson getting even better and position wise edge goes to centre.

Lol wut? Mitch is scoring at a 120 pt pace under Sheldon Keefe..

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Center over the winger everyday.

EP >> MM

 

[tony d]

Both are solid players but I'm going with Marner.

 

[BCNate]

Marner is fantastic, but I'm going withe the younger centre. Both are are elite talents who are PPG career players with upside.

 

[PWJunior]

I’m waiting for Holy Makinaw, IPS and Kamillico to tell me how to vote here.

Do goals count twice as much as assists in this poll like in the Matthews ones?

Either way, going with EP.

 

[Crabapple]

Marner for the Oilers, but starting from scatch I'd take EP

 

[34]

This is Marner, but he will lose the poll due to the Western Canadian Leaf haters.

 

[Randy Randerson]

Good poll, probably depends on what you have/need but Pettersson for most teams by virtue of being a center. Have to imagine that both teams are pretty happy with those picls

 

[LeafsNation75]

But marner is having a better year than last year. I’m pretty sure he is top 3 in scoring since his return from injury in early dec

You would be correct about that.
