Pettersson vs. Hischier

[lawrence]

in a re-draft, hischier is still #1, pettersson may very well be #2 or 3, patrick on the other hand....

make a poll on this one. I can't do it.

You mean the walking bandaid?

don't tell that to flyer fans. apparently number and frequency of injuries has nothing to do with being injury prone

Oh dear

Pettersson. He was on a tear, until that incident happened. Hope he gets well soon.

I just want to add this fact.

Nico Hischier played a lot of sheltered minutes last season. John Hynes came out and said in order to protect the rookie he wasn’t always out against top competition and now will be. I was wondering why there was such a big gap between hall and the number one center points wise.

Pettersen.

Yeah he was a rookie ffs, any responsible coach would do that and thats no takeaway from Hischier.

Its how to properly develop such a gifted and talented player.

Im a huge Pettersson homer but i really am not sure Im 100% taking him over Hischier. What Hischier did last year, and did it consistently, and is not slowing down this year... the guy is a beast, both could end up top 10 centres in two three years

The gap was from power play points actually, which you can easily look up if you actually cared about facts. 5on5 they had very similar scoring and Hischier outperformed Hall in points/60.

Hischier wasn't sheltered and that isn't what Hynes has ever said. He was managed so he wouldn't burn out from constantly playing the toughest defensive assignments all the time. Will Butcher was the sheltered rookie for the Devils.

Nico Hischier lol. This one is not debatable at the moment. Nico put up a shit ton of primary points as a 1st overall pick in his first year in the league right after being drafted.

We'll need 3 years or so to see if either one is head and shoulders above the other, at the moment it's got to be Nico.

Ill start it today lawrence, in the polls section or the prospects section?

We need to wait 5 years to see if Matthews is legit

It is most definitely debatable. Hischier isn't McDavid or Matthews. It's not an insult to hischier for this to be debatable, thats how good Pettersson is.

lol says a Hawks fan whois never seen pettersson play.

The irony is the flood of Canucks fans on here know absolutely nothing about Nico hischier, and are just infatuated with their own new toy. If you ask gms who they’d take 1 in a redraft, it’s Nico. I don’t think there’s be very much of a debate.
