Proposal: 1st OA for Pettersson

[John Johnson]

3 goals in 27 games Pettersson is not and will not be better than Jack Hughes

What about 10 goals in 10 games to start his career Pettersson?

 

[John Johnson]

Awwwww win a wound....

We've been competitive with Washington a President Trophy winner and Boston arguable a top three contender with our players on their ELC. By any reasonable measure of success this is a fantastic rebuild.

Stay jelly fren.

Im not a fan of either team but man this is an embarassing response.

Interesting proposal, but Petterson (without the injuries) is exactly what Vancouver needs and Petterson is producing like a 1st overall pick compared to other players his age.

Just think you could have had Petterson and #1OA pick

 

[CherryToke]

Pettersson had a better PPG than all of them though?

 

[Cquant]

That's like saying Hischier is clearly light years better than Taylor Hall, because he got double the amount of points this season.
Yes, Pettersson had less points than Matthews. He also played 11 less games. I don't see how it's absurd to put Pettersson's name out there with Matthews, Eichel and Pastrnak. MacKinnon is indisputably better right now in my opinion than any of these guys.

If the Devils had taken Petterson, it's highly unlikely they finish this season the same spot in the standings and get the #1OA pick.

Let's also stop pretending that Petterson was a realistic consideration for that pick at the time. Look at where he was ranked ahead of the draft:

2017 NHL Draft Rankings

12 different rankings and the highest he was ranked was 5th. The 11 other rankings had him 7th or lower. His average rank was 11th.

So stop acting like the Devils screwed up by taking Nico - the pick was between him and Patrick, with possibly a small consideration for Makar or Heiskanen. The Devils made the right call in taking Nico, otherwise they should've traded down to #3 if they wanted one of the defensemen.

Pettersson was a great pick by Vancouver and I'm glad they got him as the Rangers were apparently looking to take him at #7. But the amount that Vancouver fans pump him up is rather annoying.

It's a bit early to put his name out there with guys that have performed at that level for several seasons in the NHL versus Pettersson's rookie year, especially considering he started the season much stronger than he finished it. There's no guarantee he improves on those numbers next season - Barzal had a great rookie season and then saw his point total drop by 27% in year 2 in the same amount of games.

Pettersson career ppg, 0.93 (71 games)

Marner career ppg, 0.93 (241 games)

Eichel career ppg, 0.91 (286 games)

Point career ppg, 0.86 (229 games)

Rookie season?

Boeser, Juolevi, #10 for Hughes

Something about a bird in hand comes to mind here......

 

[GoodbyeLuongo]

Yeah and I wasn't bashing the Canucks when they were a contender to make me feel better about the Leafs I was criticizing the Leafs.

Read the thread and you'll get the point. I'm just responding to bs.

As for 'the rebuild time line' It started with Nylander and Virtanen was picks three spots ahead of him so Nuck had their opportunities to not Juolevi their rebuild.

First off, we would far rather have Ehlers than Nylander. Second off, if we have Ehlers/Nylander and Tkachuk we don't get Pettersson. And I'd MUCH rather have Elias than any of those three. Also not really sure what Juolevi the rebuild is supposed to be. He's been tracking well (contrary to popular belief), just suffered an unfortunate injury this year. Considering the Leafs were rebuilding for almost a decade, maybe don't get on your high horse so quick pal. It's a shame, the Leafs are a likable team with the exception of Kadri. But their fans make it impossible to cheer for them.

 

[Szechwan]

Ewww is this the first meme you've ever made? You should retire.

 

[GoodbyeLuongo]

Pettersson had a better D2 PPG than Marner, Pastrnak, Mackinnon, was below Eichel by like 0.00001 percent. Matthews had a better D2, Point wasn't even in the NHL yet. Oh and Pettersson played 12 less games than Matthews in their respective rookie years lol. So maybe, just maybe try again.

 

[MartyOwns]

mother of god, what have you done

Boeser, Juolevi, #10 for Hughes

they’re getting worse and worse, against all odds.

A decade, sure, love those Seguin and Hamilton picks.

Way to rewrite history to suit your agenda, welcome the ignore list, you earned it.

You won't see this but you have another way to describe not making the playoffs for 10 + years?

In regards to Alien Petterson's production in the latter part of the season, keep in mind that he came back from a concussion sooner than he probably should have, as well as a tweaked knee. Also, the rookie wall, which hopefully isn't an issue next year.

I think the addition of Tanner Pearson, a possibly re-signed Luke Schenn, and hopefully an acquisition of some gritty wingers will deter opposing players from taking cheap shots next season & Pettersson can play more games injury free.

 

[Ori]

I would do it since they had the Sedins, but it cost a lot including 2020 1st. Jim Benning need to move Loui Erikssson contract to sign either Duchene or Zuccarello or both as UFA - Nucks needs a playoffs push next season since they have 8.1 mil $ cap right now.
And I would sign Spencer knight in the 2019 draft.

He’s talking about rookie season, genius.

 

[elitepete]

Boeser, Juolevi, #10 for Hughes

No.

My offer is 10+Markstrom+Madden+Juolevi+Goldobin

We can take back the Schneider contract if need be.

If that doesn’t get it done, then so be it. But there’s not a chance in hell we’re trading Boeser and 10 both for #1.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Yeah, players retire after their rookie seasons all the time...

And really, how is 'his (D2) rookie season was better than Matthews' (D1) rookie season because even though Matthews got 40 goals, Elias had a higher PPG so he's better!' an argument?

Karna continues to bite the Canucks in the ass because of this hubris (note: EP is a fantastic player, but I want to see more than one season of ridiculous s% before crowning him the king.)

Would you trade Boeser + #10 for Pettersson?
