Gator Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 No this is not saying they will be as good as these guys, just a comparison to how they play the game, in case anyone is wondering. Horvat - Bergeron Boeser - Ovechkin Pettersson - God Virtanen - Bertuzzi Hughes - Orr Juolevi - Vlasic Gaudette - Kesler Gadjovich - Lucic Tryamkin - Chara Demko - Schnieder Ones I left out, i am unsure what player to compare them with. Please try it out and let's see everyone's opinion on the type of players we have coming to the big club soon! Hope everyone enjoys! And yes if God played hockey, I bet he'd be just like Pettersson haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Boeser and Ovie are two very different players. Yes, they both have a great shot and can score a lot, but that's it. Ovie is a tank. I'd say Boeser is more like Seguin. I can see Pettersson being similar to Peter Stastny. Will be an excellent playmaker. Fun fact: Stastny once accumulated 81 assists (41 goals) in a 76 game season. Wow. Virtanen is like McDavid, without the hands and brains. Both have good size (Virtanen is beefier), great speed and a great shot. But seriously, I would say Jake is similar to Frank Mahovlich.

JeremyCuddles Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 In what way are Ovi and Boeser similar players? They are both scorers but that's really where the comparisons end. Virtanen is not Bertuzzi either. Virtanen is not a traditional power forward. Gadjovich isn't like Lucic. I'd say he leans a bit more towards Holmstrom. I haven't watched/seen nearly enough from Gaudette, Hughes, and Juolevi to gauge who their comparables are. Gaudette I am not sure has the sniping ability of Kesler nor does he have Kesler's edge. I dunno how good God is at hockey but I imagine he's honored to be compared to Pettersson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I pretty much said it was a compliment for God to be compared to Pettersson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVI and Boeser are elite snipers. Yes not exactly the same players but Boeser is the closest your going to get to that sniping ability. Laine could be thrown in there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Man I am so stoked to watch that kid next year, he is really something special.

ken kaniff Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Horvat-Bergeron Boeser-Vanek/Hossa (both these guys were elite scorers in their prime) Pettersson-Datsyuk Dahlen-Arvidsson Virtanen-Dustin Brown Gaudette-Adam Henrique Gadjovich-Tom Wilson Lind-Reilly Smith Lockwood-Hansen Goldobin-Panarin (kid has a ton of talent just needs to put it all together and he will be elite) Hughes-Duncan Keith Juolevi-Alex Edler Woo-Hamonic Tryamkin-Myers Stecher-Spurgeon Demko-Schneider Di Pietro-No clue. Hope he makes it tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofc, Datsyuk 2 way game was one of a kind but imagine if Pettersson could be that kind of player for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 With all due respect, I think these types of career-comparisons are best when both comparables are in the rear view. With the hard history on the left coast, the heartache in the old Pacific Coliseum might be best compared with the antics in Linda Blair's bedroom! Does it need a wreckin' ball? Have we exorcised the ghosts?..shall I post in Latin? Stay tuned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung1 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Horvat - Bergeron Boeser - an elite version of Patrick Sharp Pettersson - Datsyuk with a better shot and more reach Virtanen - Jarome Iginla Hughes - Coffey/ Leetch Juolevi - Edler sans back injury (#2 defenceman) Gaudette - Kesler (but not 40 goal kes. 25 goal kes) Gadjovich - Lucic Tryamkin - Chara with better hands/lesser shot Demko - Schnieder Dipietro - Quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better suited comparisons than Ovi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Red Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I'd avoid doing this... Sets up nothing but let down. Be chill and let them evolve into their own players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
