Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
People laugh at Leaf fans for saying Matthews is as good as x even if he hasn't produced like them yet, and then in this poll people are comparing a guy with ONE game to Marner.
Isn't the OP a Leafs fan?I laugh at those who say Leafs fans overrate their players and yet here is Marner going up against someone who just played their first NHL game.
Well. It’s like when Matthews was winning polls after his first game. This board is called Hockey Futures for a reason. It’s about projecting how players will turn out based in part with what they’ve achieved before and after their draft. Pettersson had a pretty good post draft year.People laugh at Leaf fans for saying Matthews is as good as x even if he hasn't produced like them yet, and then in this poll people are comparing a guy with ONE game to Marner.
That's what I would call the definition of hypocrisy among non Leafs fans on here. You never saw any Leafs fans using their players in a poll after just 1 game against any other players with more experience.People laugh at Leaf fans for saying Matthews is as good as x even if he hasn't produced like them yet, and then in this poll people are comparing a guy with ONE game to Marner.
How convenient you leave out Matthews scoring 40 goals as a rookie, which was the highest number of goals a rookie scored since Ovechkin's 52 goals in 2006.Who knew all you need is a career high 69 points to be considered generational?
I would have taken Pettersson over Marner last year as well. His historic 18-19 years old shl season speak for itselfThat's what I would call the definition of hypocrisy among non Leafs fans on here. You never saw any Leafs fans using their players in a poll after just 1 game against any other players with more experience.
Lol! Most of us are old enough to remember the Matthews threads after his first game when he scored 4 goals.That's what I would call the definition of hypocrisy among non Leafs fans on here.

yup Matthews scored 4 goals, and Petterson had a goal and assist big difference a lot of hype for 2 points imo..... lots of rookies score 2 points in there first game...Lol! Most of us are old enough to remember the Matthews threads after his first game when he scored 4 goals.
The definition of hypocrisy indeed!
Yup. Great point.People laugh at Leaf fans for saying Matthews is as good as x even if he hasn't produced like them yet, and then in this poll people are comparing a guy with ONE game to Marner.
Why don't we look at the awards Marner won in the OHL prior to playing in the NHL.Well. It’s like when Matthews was winning polls after his first game. This board is called Hockey Futures for a reason. It’s about projecting how players will turn out based in part with what they’ve achieved before and after their draft. Pettersson had a pretty good post draft year.

Matthews scores 4 goals in his NHL debut and was the previous 1st overall pick vs Petterson's NHL debut where he scores 1 goal and 1 assist, I wonder what's going to get more hype?Lol! Most of us are old enough to remember the Matthews threads after his first game when he scored 4 goals.
The definition of hypocrisy indeed!
So that makes him a generational player?How convenient you leave out Matthews scoring 40 goals as a rookie, which was the highest number of goals a rookie scored since Ovechkin's 52 goals in 2006.
His debut was generational considering his hype as a 1st overall pick to a team like Toronto knowing how demanding their market can be.So that makes him a generational player?
A major reason he is even close in this poll is because he's going up against a member of the Maple Leafs.I'm stunned this poll is tied right now. Stunned. Pettersson is quickly becoming the most overrated player on HF, and that isn't in any way a knock to his talent.
And another Leafs fan who thinks it’s based on his first game. Here you are again:yup Matthews scored 4 goals, and Petterson had a goal and assist big difference a lot of hype for 2 points imo..... lots of rookies score 2 points in there first game...
Again let me ask what does all of that mean for what he will do at the NHL level? I swear posting about his accomplishments is the same thing all the Patrick Laine fan boys did when they mentioned everything he won in Finland as to why he deserved the Calder more than Matthews and would become a better player than him. It's even more pathetic trying to compare Petterson's accomplishments from what he did in Sweden because what exactly does he have to compared against Marner for?And another Leafs fan who thinks it’s based on his first game.

It’s Hockey Futures site. Get with the program. Of course you look at what players did post draft.Again let me ask what does all of that mean for what he will do at the NHL level?
