[Mac n Gs]

Howden on the board tonight too with an assist

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Well that's a bit different since we can see Barzal is likely going to be a elite player, Pettersson still has a lot to prove.


The way I see it:

Pettersson (70-90 point player)

vs

Chytil (55-75 point player) + Andersson (40-60 point player, great 2 way player, leader).

I'd rather have the 2 players. I guess it depends how high someone thinks of Pettersson. If you see him as a top 3 future forward in the league, then I can see taking him.

I don't know what more Pettersson actually has to prove. He was the best player in his draft class in his draft year, and now is the best player in his draft class in his draft+1 year.

I agree that he has to now show this in the NHL, but it seems like a formality.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Pettersson is a winger

Center

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Way too early to make that call. If anything I'd take production in the AHL over the SHL, even if he is lighting that league on fire

So you'd prefer players averaging .65-.75 in the AHL over 1.21 in the SHL? They are even leagues by like any objective measure.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Center

He plays an awful lot of games on the wing and in the wjc as a wing. He projects to a winger in the nhl

Thats such flawed logic. Does Draisaitl project as a winger when he plays on McDavid's wing?

Pettersson has also been playing more center than wing lately, and I don't know how exactly he projects as a winger. He has good size, he's very smart, responsible defensively, he's more of a playmaker than goal-scorer. What about his game projects as a winger? Or is it just that he played some winger on a new team in his first few games in the highest level league he's played in yet?

First few games or in all the important games he’s ever played?

What are all these important games? You seem to be referring to the World Juniors, although he actually played some center during the World Juniors.

 

[ecemleafs]

That's actually very promising from day. Really had no idea he was producing at such a high level.

I absolutely love their whole arena turns red for a few seconds after they score a goal.

 

[Kovalev27]

Those are really impressive numbers for Day

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Are you referring to the games where he struggled before moving to LAs wing?

 

[Harbour Dog]

Really nice to see Day coming back strong from his injury.

I'm skeptical that his game will translate well to the pros, but there's no ignoring the tools that he has.

Him going into the AHL next season is probably really good for him. He'll be on what is likely a good roster. Depending on who is down there, probably gets 3rd pair minutes to start, Hajek is likely the better player right now.

To me, he will be one of the most interesting players to watch in camp. They've added quite a few LHD via trade. He'll be right in the mix with them to show what he has.

 

[darko]

Someone please tell me that we have a player in our system already who can lit up the league. And that we can have a decent shot at Zadina, Dahlin or Svechnikov [my favorite] and that we can still tank next year and some way some how still get number 1 overall and get Conor Hughes. Please someone tell me this.

I don't like telling lies.

 

[duhmetreE]

There's a 20% chance... PLEASE

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If both Andersson and Chytil aren't in NY next year, it will be a huge disappointment.

I still feel the contract situation with Chytil might affect that

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

He plays an awful lot of games on the wing and in the wjc as a wing. He projects to a winger in the nhl

He plays as center with Vaxjo this season. I think that's a better indication as what position he played in a single tournament for 7 games

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

He's played more wing then C for Växjö, with that said i've always projected him as a C once he's settled in the NHL, he's so insanely smart on the ice that C should be his best position.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I still feel the contract situation with Chytil might affect that

Contract situation? He’s already signed

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Does he know he can’t wear 11 here?

 

[GAGLine]

Contract situation? He’s already signed

I think he's referring to the fact that Chytil's contract can slide again if he doesn't play 10 or more games next year, but I seriously doubt the Rangers will care about that if Chytil shows that he is ready. Leaving him in the AHL when he is ready for the NHL buys us another year, but it won't do much for Chytil's development.
