With one goal today pettersson overtakes Markus basking for 6th in all time u20 shl scoring. With 11 games left in Vaxjo schedule, pettersson needs 13 points to tie Nilsson for most all time with 54 points (although Nilsson did it in an unfathomable 36 games).

Different era. The swedes back then played fast and very loose. Horrible defensively

It is important to note that while Laine is doing very well this season, he hasn't improved his numbers from last year. Very small sample size, but one could conceivably use that as evidence that he entered the league already at his ceiling.

Might be that his top line centre has been injured a good chunk of this year?

They can both pass if they need to as well which makes them both double edged swords. It honestly won't matter who the third person on that line is. 

 

Imagine that third person being Zadina.

 

Three killers on the same line. RIP.

In that case, we may spread the wealth. Most teams don't get the luxury of having 3 legit 1st line players on their 1st line. Especially when ELC's expire and cap hits become factors. They also tend to spread scoring to be harder to defend against. It's usually 2 1st line guys and a complimentary guy who'd normally be a 2nd or 3rd liner.

Babcock is often asked why Hyman with Matthews.  He says because he gets him the puck and good players want the puck.  He says Datsyuk always told him to put him with a guy that will get him the puck and not a 3rd guy who wants the puck too.

With those three on a line, the puck will be in the back of the net so fast there will be no need for a puck retriever.

Regarding Laine vs. Boeser

 

Laine put up those numbers immediately after being drafted and also missed time due to injury. Boeser is in his rookie year in his draft+3 year. 17/18 year old versus a 20 year old putting up those numbers. 

 

Laine is also about 6'4/6'5.

 

But I am still very happy with Pettersson's recent play at center.

Laine can't pass or check like Boeser...so....being almost the same age now...I would take BB any day.
