The one leading the league in points

Rantanen AINEC. Not remotely.

Zero argument for petterssson in here.

 

[Tkachuky]

Some of these polls. Jesus.

 

[Rowlet]

weird flex but ok

Lol no.

 

[Ainec]

Pettersson, we need 1c

 

[Mighty Makar]

Hard not to vote for Rantanen at the moment. Pettersson can dominate the league in a couple years, who knows? Weird poll. I’m honestly sick of seeing Rantanen in polls.

 

[Connor McConnor]

If I was a bottom dweller like the Canucks I would not trade EP for Rantanen right now. This poll is super random though and the two players have nothing that really warrants comparing the two.

 

[Foppberg]

A bit of an unfair poll tbh.

A 19 year old beanpole on a basement team with very little support, versus a guy who's been in the league for a few years now, and plays on the best line in hockey. He's also a big reason why it's the best line, but still.

Rantanen. Pettersson's good but Rantanen's a superstar.

 

[AKL]

Eh, Pettersson is 2 years younger, is so far having a much better rookie campaign, and is a C. Even if “smart money” is on the guy leading the league in points right now, I’m still taking Pettersson long term.

Rantanen also has the luxury of playing with MacKinnon and I think some on here are forgetting how good he is in the “shadow” of what Rantanen has done so far this season.

It's actually been quite humorous the lengths Avs fans have gone this year to almost discredit MacK so they can give the love to Rantanen. All I've heard this year is basically Rantanen is "carrying" the line. It's almost as if they feel that now that MacK has established himself as one of the best players in the league and it's become common knowledge, they can utilize that by discrediting him to raise Rantanen's public stock. Both players definitely raise each others' game but no GM in the league would take Rantanen over MacK.

Or maybe Rantanen actually did outplay MacKinnon for the first 20 games or so this season, and everything is not carefully crafted messaging to push a desired narrative.

We're hockey fans, man, not politicians.

So which guy would you rather have?

Pattersson--he is the driver of his line
Rats is playing with two very skilled players and he has lucked out

I love bashing canucks--so for me to say anything nice hurts me

Or you know, they've watched both of them all season. MacKinnon has finally turned it up the last 7-8 games.

Quick question. I just signed up recently, and I can't vote on polls. Is there a waiting period, minimum posts or something else that is keeping me from voting?

 

[winnipegger]

One of the few players I take over Pettersson is Rantanen. Rantanen is incredible.

After 45 days you will be able to vote

 

[LuckyBoeser]

Long term Id take Pettersson. I understand taking Rantanen right now

 

[JustinCase]

Thanks. Figured it would be something like that.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Why is this even a poll? Very unfair for a great rookie in EP.

And then I see EP has 30% of the votes???? Yikes.

 

[Taluss]

I’ll be one of the unpopular votes and go with Pettersson here

Oh you

Or you know, they've watched both of them all season. MacKinnon has finally turned it up the last 7-8 games.

Are you suggesting that just like Mikko needed 20-25 games last year to adjust to MacK's takeover, MacK needed ~20 games to adjust to Mikko's takeover this year? Crazy talk.
