Ehlers or Nolan Patrick

[lawrence]

Thats interesting - one never touched the NHL

Cant wait until Patrick isnt 19 anymore

as of most players out of the 2017 NHL entry draft, what is the point of this? please answer.

yes, it's interesting how underwhelming he is that he's still not even solidified himself as a more proven commodity than a guy who's never even stepped foot in the NHL

The poster said one has proved to be a better NHL player when he cant even call himself an NHL player yet.

This isnt even Patrick being underrated anymore but moreso Patrick being hated on for his coaches decision. Its fine though, he will make a lot of people eat crow

Ehlers is a Barrtchi 2.0. Easy Patrick.

but he wasn't asking about Pettersson though, so its just random hate from you. I think at whatever point he's made about him better then heicher you need to respond direclty to the post instead of randomly out of nowhere.

that's more a compliment to Baertchi. Thank you kind sir.

Yes he was talking about Pettersson

No he wasn't.

Ehlers AINEC. Nolan Patrick is one of the worst 2nd overall picks in the past decade, up there with Ryan Murray.

when did he bring up Pettersson?

Meanwhile Elias Pettersson couldnt make the NHL

It started with this comment. You should be tossed out of this conversation. we don't need crap starters like you around.

Try to pay attention to a conversation.

I quoted CantLoseWithMatthews. But thanks for pointing out to me that you just rile people up and dont contribute to a thread, ill keep that in mind.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

No he wasn't.
when did he bring up Pettersson?

Patrick's proven he can be a strong NHLer as much as Pettersson has honestly

Anything else I can do to prove you dont actually read people's posts, Lawrence?

Aren't you the one who brought up pettersson to criticize him for no reason?

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Oh there was a reason but the poster Lawrence claimed you never commented on it when it was perfectly documented.

I normally try not to bring up other players in a thread like this but when a guy names ‘Elias Pettersson’ comes in making an insane comment knowing itd grab attention, and happens to do the same with the Vancouver prospect in every thread about another, I felt it was necessary.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Anyway the thread wasnt going to be even anyway, which is unfortunate because it gives Patrick a bad name just because he isnt killing it his first 50 games

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Brooooo simmer down. We're all here to have fun. I wish you a good day

I find it fascinating that people are actively rooting against a 19 year old kid just so they can be vindicated on their hot take. Meanwhile, I'm just thrilled that Patrick is a Flyer. Once again, I don't know how anyone actually watches Patrick play and comes away thinking he's not at least a legit 2C in this league.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

And I to you. But you certainly get on some people’s nerves sometimes.

But thats the life of discussing hockey. Take the good with the bad.

 

[Sasso09]

Crap Corsi and Fenwick.

50 GP 6A 9 A 15 P. Wow

How in the heck is that a good rookie season? He should not be in the bigs.

There's literally no other league he should or could be in. Juniors would be pointless and AHL isn't even an option. Despite his early season struggles coming off a concussion and off season surgery, at 19 years old, he's already a decent 2C, much better In his rookie year than Seguin, Thorton, the Sedins, Sciefele, ect. He's been very very good lately and looking better every game.

I say this as one of Patrick's biggest critics, I thought Nico was far Better and was hoping the devils took Patrick.

Ehlers AINEC. Nolan Patrick is one of the worst 2nd overall picks in the past decade, up there with Ryan Murray.

I'm fairly confident in Patrick being better than the below #2 picks or at least as good.

JVR
Murray
Jordan Staal
Bobby Ryan
Landeskog
Reinhart

So, you fail

 

[DRW204]

this is kind of unfair with Ehlers being as good as he is currently vs NP.

Ehlers had a better rookie year than NP has had YTD though,

How can someone fail if this outcome has not happened yet?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He's been the best player on a line with Simmonds and Voracek on his wings.

Huh? Over the frequently referenced last 10 games, Patrick has 6 points, Simmonds has 8 and Voracek has 9.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

yeah his dazzling rookie level stats sure inspire me. He's keeping pace with Jake Virtanen's 19 year old season! What an accomplishment!

I know you just didn't use a difference of 2-3 points over a ten game span to try to determine who's been playing better. Anyway, Simmer & Voracek play PP1, Patrick does not, which actually makes up more than the difference. At evens, Patrick's been the best player on the line per the eye test and traditional stats back that up (6 points vs. 4 points vs. 4 points). I'd imagine the fancy stats might support that assertion as well, but I'm not terribly proficient with those.

You realize people are going to bookmark all of these hot takes to shove in your face later, right?

wow that's a lot of effort to go through for an internet argument. Don't you people have more important things to do in your life?

Ehlers will deservedly win this poll but it’s one that could be revisited in a year or two and potentially yield different results.

I’ve been really hot and cold on Patrick. He’s shown why many were high on him, but I also think he may have benefitted from going back. Time will tell.
