You are not getting my point. I will say this one last time : having 5-6 top flight wingers and 1 solid centre between them, is a bad idea. Which means if Peterson doesnt pan out at C, we are most likely trading one of Peterson,Dahlen,Baertschi or Lind to get a centreman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeBrew Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 8 hours ago, ForsbergTheGreat said: That’s a very missleading post skewed by cherry picking numbers though. You include 2017 yet all the players in 2017 have haven’t even been in the league for over 30 games. How are they supposed to win a cup in that time frame. I don’t think anyone expects a team to go from bottom of the league to cup winner over night. So listing the players drafted in in the last few years doesn’t really help the point either. Pull those same numbers from 2001-10 draft years. Only 9 teams had 3 or more top 5 picks and they represent 9 of the last 12 Stanley cups won. But in the end, Drafting in the top 5 doesn’t guarantee you a cup but it does produce you the highest odds of landing a key piece to building a cup contender. A peice like Pettersson is the result of a top 5 draft pick. Hes going to be a very important piece for us into turning this team into a cup contender. How many any people here would be willing to replace pettersson with someone taken in the 15-29 range last draft. anyone who would prefer to keep pettersson and is against obtaining top 5 picks is a hypocrite. I like how you cut it off at 29 because I was going to say that I wouldn't mind that much if we had taken Eeli Tolvanen instead, but even within that range I would still be happy with Filip Chytil. I mean what has this Pettersson guy done lately anyways? He didn't even score a hat-trick today... BUST. With that said... this is ridiculous. I was just saying to people the day before this clip that if he really needs to start beating players one-on-one to really prove his hype. And what does he do: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he's not exactly putting up big numbers, he's been noticeable and is most assuredly an NHL player. How far up the depth chart he can get remains to be seen. That isn't to say that, using the gift of hindsight, Nylander or Ehlers aren't much better players, but we're in a position where we can afford to be patient. If Virtanen can get to a point where he's a dependable middle 6 forward capable of scoring 20 goals in a season and Pettersson reaches his insanely high ceiling, we still may very well be better off with the combo of Virtanen/Pettersson then we would have been with a Nylander/Glass or Ehlers/Glass combo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dral Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 It still hurts to think we could have taken Nylander and SHOULD have had Laine... Horvat, Nylander, Laine ,Boeser, EP.... rebuild complete? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't really think we need a center. I would lean more towards a D. Peterson horvat boeser Lind/dahlen Gaudette granlund Lind/dalhen Sutter virtanen Gaunce UFA Eriksson I mean horvat and gaudette aren't Malkin and Crosby but we don't need 2 elite centers if our team is super rounded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but our D pool, which is already pretty shallow, looks downright pitiful without Juolevi. Also, having Nylander and Laine would have prevented us from landing Lind as well, for what that's worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That at first I thought we had a Nylander type talent on our hands (which would be great) + We should of had a Cody Glass in our pool is well But now we have a Petterson who has exceeded all expectations + Virtanen who isn't producing anything. That post was not a shot at Petterson whatsoever but good try No, it was yet another circuitous shot at the same line of prospects you've been sharting on for 3 years literally without cease. It's sad how obsessed you are. If Petterson was less than a PPG not for a second do any of us think you wouldn't be tearing him a new one too 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Man, I hate these early games. Can’t the Swedes just stay up extra late for these games so here in Vancouver we can sleep in on Saturday mornings and still not miss anything?

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) Today’s assist puts Pettersson into a tie (with one less GP) for first place in overall SHL scoring this season. 28 points (11G 17A) in 21 games.
