Yeah but... it's Pronman. What do you expect? The guy is so off the map some of the time.Biggest irony is that Pronman had Pettersson at 17

Unbiased? You're a Rangers fan and it just so happened that two of your biggest rivals picked one and two...Here's my unbiased opinion. Last year's draft seemed weak at the time. I never thought Hischier or Patrick were going to be as good as the players usually drafted #1 and #2, but I liked Hischier more than Patrick. When it came to Pettersson, up until a few weeks ago, I thought he was a bit overhyped after his SHL season, but I was wrong. He's a special player. Not too long ago, my opinion was that Hischier would end up being the better player, but I changed my mind after seeing Pettersson play. Also, at least some of Hischier's production was influenced by Hall's monster season. I don't know. I think that Pettersson will end up being the better player, even though Hischier is a beast defensively. Pettersson just has so much upside. I'm kind of like Pronman when I rate players, as I see more value in an offensively gifted player, than a two-way player who produces very good (but not great) offense.
I knew someone would say that, but that truly has nothing to do with it. I was thinking this before the draft even happened. I mean, it’s no secret that Hischier and Patrick are nowhere near McDavid/Matthews/Eichel/Laine level. And lol “biggest rivals.” You wish. The Islanders are our biggest rivals, and I consider Barzal to be one of the best players in the NHL. No bias here. I’m a hockey fan first.Unbiased? You're a Rangers fan and it just so happened that two of your biggest rivals picked one and two...
That makes zero sense.Gimme hischier, do you want a nickel or 5 pennies
Yeah I figured it was in that way but I thought you were basing your decision using that analogy, which effectively means they're exactly the same.They're both good.
Gimme hischier, do you want a nickel or 5 pennies
Chill man. i'm sure he's watched him play, or at least seen highlights.lol says a Hawks fan whois never seen pettersson play.

Hischier is a fine player too. Could very well be a franchise centre as well in the making.
Sound a little insecurelol says a Hawks fan whois never seen pettersson play.
No haha there was no double meaning. But I definitely see how you could've thought that.Yeah I figured it was in that way but I thought you were basing your decision using that analogy, which effectively means they're exactly the same.
But I wondered if having the solid 'nickel' meant there were some holes in Pettersson's game or something that dissuaded you from him. Hischier more 'solid' and 'complete' as a player.
You never know with this site. I would agree, they're going to have similar careers, though I think Pettersson puts up more points in the long run.
Sound a little insecure
Wrongly spelling Hischier's and Marner's name really give an impression, you know, what you are talking about.You know I am correct. You haven't seen him play .
why?
out side of Heicher being more proven, his skill is not even on the same planet as Pettersson. People see that, and the comments in this thread, his thread, Marnver vs Pettersson threads proves it.
You are not correct actually, you just made an assumption because you didn't like my answer. They're both good, and yeah Pettersen has higher offensive potential. But who are you to say their skill isnt "in the same planet", they're both extremely skilled. Pettersen a little more so than hischier, but they arent far off. Lastly, no one right now knows the answer to this and probably wont for a couple years.You know I am correct. You haven't seen him play .

Fair enoughYou said yourself Petterson has a higher offensive potential. We'll know the answer by this year, just compare them both at the end of 82 games.
Do you ever get tired of embarrassing the Canucks fan base?You know I am correct. You haven't seen him play .

You mean the walking bandaid?in a re-draft, hischier is still #1, pettersson may very well be #2 or 3, patrick on the other hand....
EP all day, way more dynamic and skilled.
Hischier is RNH 2.0 or maybe RNH 1.1, decent player but not a gamebreaker like EP.
