How is Gaudreau not better than Petterson today? Honest question.
He is, looking towards the future.

Pretty inaccurate.
In what world is Horvat Monahan's equivalent?
And Boeser=Tkachuk? That one's even more unbelievable.

Monahan doesn't play with Tkachuk. But I agree Horvat > MonahanYou can easily make a case for Horvat and Monahan being equal. Monahan plays with Gaudreau and Tkachuk, Horvat plays with Eriksson and Virtanen. Is it not conceivable that Horvat would have better offensive numbers with two offensive juggernauts on his line in comparison to that trash?
He is better than Pettersson today. I think Pettersson will be better next year, with the edge being at least on the defensive side, but that is very debatable.
Sometime growth is not a straight curve....look at Boeser for your own example
Calgary, not close as of today.
Gaudreau >> EP
Gaudreau is one of the best players, in general, in the NHL, this season.
Tkachuk >> Boeser
Boeser for those who are completely unaware, is actually older than Matt Tkachuk. Matty's the more complete player, the one you can march out late in game if need be; also that doesn't include his penalties drawn/overall pestiness.
Monahan = Horvat
Both good 1B centres. Monahan is a more gifted goal scorer, Horvat probably more all-around skill.
This could be very different in two years. As of right now, not close. Matt Tkachuk is also one of the most underrated players in the entire NHL.
I think Grudreau is the best player in the league right now bar none. He does the most with the least help. He is unbelievable. I'm a Leaf fan... Mcdavid is the only player worth more and he isn't playing as well as him this year.
So with that being said I'll take the side with who I think is the second most valuable player in the league...
Horvat is probably a superior skater tbh, but Monahan knows how to score goals better which is more important in my opinion.Even when Monahan is on pace for a 100 point season, bum Horvat is still better.
There is no one on these boards more overrated than Horvat, nor is there anyone more underrated than Monahan.
Like I get choosing EP over Gaudreau going forward because of age, but in no ****ing metric, no universe is Bo ****ing Horvat better than Monahan at literally anything in the game of hockey. NOTHING.
