I fully understand Vancouver fans wanting to keep their young star player, but come on now...
Pettersson has never even been top 10 in goals, assists or points. How is he a top 10 player in the league?
Meanwhile Eichel was top 10 in both goals and points last season, while playing for a terrible team. Only Connor McDavid factors into more total offense for his team. Eichel was #2 in the league, factoring in on something like 60+% of buffalo’s offense.
I don’t know if any GM in the league would take Pettersson over Eichel if given the choice.
This thread is a perfect example of why I normally don’t even click on any Eichel trade threads. I don’t know why I did today...
