Petterson or Dahlin?

so historic that Quinn Hughes will score 45 next year

when I think historic, I think Crosby and Ovechkin's rookie season

Quinns D+1 compared to Dahlins draft year

Quinn ”Benjamin Button” Hughes

He's certainly making a case, might become a fun race. Worth to note though that the Sens have three other players at a point per game or more while the Canucks have none, so Tkachuk might be getting an extra boost from those guys. Haven't really watched the Sens though so I'm not sure.

Quinns D+1 compared to Dahlins draft year

when your parameters is set to

-18 yrs old
-above 39 points
-dmen

how historic is it really? Fine, if he hits 45 it is a historic season for 18 yr old dmen against the likes of luke schenn, ekblad, doughty, hedman, erik and jack johnson

65 points for an 18-year-old d-man isn't "best of his generation" historic, it's "future GOAT" historic. f***ing insane standard.

literally said 65 pts is on the same level as Crosby and Ovechkin

Not to mention Quinn is half a year older. He'll be 20 like 2 weeks into next season.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

What an incredible around the world pass by dahlin before the ot winner.

He’s maybe the best rookie who’s made a difference for his team winning games anyway, should easily lock up rookie of the month for november.

EP will still be ahead because he was rookie of the month in October and missed half of it.

Brady Tkachuk will be with these two at the end IMO

Nothin against Quinn either, i am a Canuck fan too, but what he does next year is irrelevant in this conversation. If Dahlin ends up with around 45 points and petterson around 65 it will be closer than people think.

 

[Ainec]

Just because you said it doesn't make it true

doesn't make what true? You agreed 65 points is goat Ovie/Crosby status which is what I said

and something Dahlin will most likely not hit

It's still sad to see how quickly Karlsson has fallen off a cliff.

Too many injuries.

 

[Flipwon]

I think this conversation will be swayed by which team falls off the cliff first.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

This is not a matter of choice. Pettersson is a great center/winger; Dahlin is a great defenseman.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I like Pettersson but Dahlin is going to be the best D man in the NHL we have seen in a decade. You can already see flashes of this. He's going to impact the game 25mins a game for the next decade or more. Give me the stud D man.

regardless of who he’s playing with, tkachuk gets 100% all the credit to all of his points thus far. kid just knows where to go and does the little things right. a real ruckus in-front of the net. but like you said you haven’t watched sens games

It sucks that a tanking franchise as pathetic as Buffalo were lucky enough to get him.

Definitely, I think ppl were handing Petterson the Calder way too early. Tkachuk has been amazing and may very well take it. Also Dahlin is heating up as well and would not surprise me if he makes a push for it too.

 

[Dynamite Time]

Heiskanen.

Dahlin over Pettersson.

 

[Zach716]

It sucks that a tanking franchise as pathetic as Buffalo were lucky enough to get him.

It sucks that a tanking franchise as pathetic as Pittsburgh #1 #2 #1 in '03 '04 '05 to get Fleury, Malkin and Crosby were lucky enough to get them. Am I doing this right?

I absolutely love watching Petterson play, but I've got to take the 18 year old averaging over 19 minutes/game while putting up 0.5 points/game. Those are fantastic numbers for an 18 year old defenseman in his first 25 games. Not to mention he's played over 21 minutes/game in his last 5.

9pts in his last 9 games as well. Really starting to turn it on lately.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

I feel on some level this comes down to how much time EP40 can play with Boeser on the same line. I've felt Pettersson could end up in the 70pt range this season (i.e. nearly PPG, having missed a few games). That's my "realistic" take. But if him and Boeser can build on their chemistry, I could see him netting something like 85 points. That's going to be hard to ignore when considering his overall play given how underwhelming most of that Canucks roster is.
