I'm glad you're happy with him.He scored at something like a 1.5ppg pace once he had surgery, and followed that up with a 2.35ppg pace in the playoffs. Or even just add his playoff stats to his regular season to account for injury and hes at basically the same PPG as Thomas/Glass/Suzuki, etc.
This is why its good to know context.
I'm glad you're happy with him.
Then why are you so fired up that others aren't as high on him?
This ^
Canucks fan OP just wanted to fantasize Pettersson being the 1st overall pick is all.
Patrick isnt getting any love I feel. I agree he has been passed by EP40 and Heiskanen as of today but that #3 spot really is anyone's for the taking. This draft will be one to keep an eye on every now and again, lots of players still to make the NHL and others at the time of being drafted were aware there was a 2-3 year time table to make it into the NHL.
Another person who doesn’t watch the games. You’re right, the Hawks D is trash, but he’s a bright spot on it. He’s already playing top pairing minutes and honestly, he looks good.
People notice that and that’s why many have him ranked so high. Someone like you will rank lower drafted prospects harder, due to pedigree therefore they must be significantly worse. I guess some people just don’t want to admit that the guy drafted at #29 is better than some of the players drafted ahead of him so soon.
Why would any Leaf fans care about the opinions of people
Why do you say that?Meh I'm okay with Rasmussen dropping on most people's list. Pretty sure that was a set thing in their minds from the moment he was drafted.
Why do you say that?
Okay.A lot of people called him a big reach and hated him being picked there at #9. Pretty sure he dropped below 15 on many redraft lists just months after he was picked.
Okay.
It's not like hes blown the hockey world over and turned a tonne of heads. So if there were a lot of people not too high on him why would you think that would change?
All of this is your opinion and very debatable.He isn't some can't-miss elite prospect but he's a top ten prospect/player from that draft. He's produced like it since then, yet is always barely mentioned in the first round in a redraft.
All of this is your opinion and very debatable.
I'm not saying hes bad but none of what you say is a given.
It’s funny that’s draft that was supposed to be very weak looks to have at least 15 players that will be top line/top pair players. Guess scouts really never know what they’re talking about. I like your list though; so many good players in this draft that it gets har to rank after 3.With an explosive start from Pettersson and a solid start from Heiskanen, was curious if the 2017 NHL Draft was held today how would your top 15 play out?
- E. Pettersson (+4)
- N. Hischier (-1)
- M. Heiskanen (0)
- N. Patrick (-2)
- C. Mittelstadt (+3)
- C. Makar (-2)
- M. Necas (+5)
- C. Glass (-2)
- H. Jokiharju (+20)
- E. Tolvanen (+20)
- F. Chytil
- L. Andersson
- R. Thomas
- J. Valimaki
- G. Vilardi

Who the heck has been skating around all season wearing #18 for the Blues then?These lists are hilarious, Rasmussen will never get respect on HF. Players like Hague, Batherson, Lilgren, Suzuki, Thomas, etc all get moved up on their list despite not being good enough for the NHL (and in some cases, looking really bad in limited action). Yet Rasmussen doesn't even get an honorable mention in the top 20 despite putting up 16goals and 33pts in 14playoff games last year and actually making the NHL this season? Lunacy.
Even if you want to reference his average stats at the NHL level, hes still doing better than Chytil, Thomas and Necas.
So strange.

I missed that lol“In some cases looking very bad”
You know you quoted a post from November right?
Patrick's upside should be questioned at this point. Not sure I'd have him top 5 in a redraft1) Pettersson
2) Heiskanen
3) Hischier
4) Patrick
5) Mittlestadt
6) Makar
7) Tolvanen
8) Jokiharju
9) Necas
10) Glass
