Threads like this are so stupid. How can we really compare a D to a forward. If you’re asking fanbases, the ones with depth at forward will want Dahlin and the ones with depth on D will want Pettersson.
Pettersson is very impressive and putting up some great numbers. So to the average fans will go with Pettersson. As they hype him up and put Dahlin down Buffalo fans come over the top trying to explain what makes Dahlin so good outside of pointzzz and unjustly put down Pettersson. Threads like this are made just to put to fanbases against each other. Maybe 20%(I might be trolling a bit with this percentage to piss people off
)of posters have watched both players and know how to actually judge their play.
One is a 1C in the making and one is a 1D in the making. Both roles are vital in bringing a cup home. Both players will have successful careers. Personally I hope Dahlin has the better career
but honestly don’t care. As long as Dahlin plays his role in turning this franchise into a contender and hopefully a Stanley Cup winner I’m happy.
