Isn't that how Q. Hughes plays? Like a rover?

Sure is. But with the Norris and all for EK I guess he makes up for it. 

 

Been thinking lately that although I never liked the idea of Quinn with Guddy, maybe Schenn would be a cheap and effective partner?

I heard Brian Burke on the radio earlier this week say Pettersson is the best player he’s seen come into our league in a lot of years.

Interesting.

 

Barzal had a higher ppg in his rookie season and played all 82 games.

 

I love Pettersson but I wonder if burke did any research before that comment.

Barzal plays no defence.  How many cups do Toews and Crosby have?  Petey is a complete player.  I like Barzal, but he needs to play on the d side of the puck even harder than he does on the o side.

And it’s not even close.  Barzal should really be playing wing.

I know we're talking about Pettersson and Barzal...

However... Barzal this year... 67 games, 53 points, -12 (on a very solid Islander's team)

Boeser... 55 games, 46 points, + 6

And you're right, Pettersson's burning desire to win drives him to back check like a possessed alien on Scotch! :lol:

Barzal's PPG was barely higher, and he had the luxury of playing behind Tavares. In a full 82 game season, Pettersson would end up with similar points to Barzal's rookie season.

Burkie wants to come home. President of the Vancouver Canucks is what he dreams about. Being neutered on HNIC can't be much fun.

Elias Pettersson getting to 58 points way faster than those around him puts him into 129th in all-time Canuck scoring with his assist tonight.

 

128.  Garry Valk LW 172 24 35 59
129.  Elias Pettersson C 58 26 32 58
130.  Artem Chubarov C 228 25 33 58
131.  Willie Mitchell D 264 10 48 58

Have to agree with everyone else. Petterson is a much more complete player is not playing with the players Barzal had/has. Not to take away from Barzal, but Pettersson is definitely the better of the two. Barzal could've definitely lost the Calder had Boeser been given the chance to reach 40 goals.

Is there anyone in the NHL that blocks then immediately gets into the offence like he does?

To EP, blocking is part of the offence. He blocks the puck to the direction where he can get it so he can go on the counter-attack.

 

A really smart guy this EP dude.
