I was actually told that Jesperi Kotkaniemi is and always be a better player than Elias Pettersson. So, I'm trying to settle the score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I am big on both players, but Petey has the edge. Kotkaniemi has Kopitar-esque upside. I dunno if I’d say Petey will for sure be far superior over his career. But as of now it’s Petey > Kotkaniemi and it’s not super close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) i'll bet you that Kotkaniemi could easily be had in a trade for ep40 and loui that's all you need to know about who the better player is Edited July 21, 2019 by coastal.view 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week while crusing the Twitterverse I stumbled across people saying that Kotkaniemi is better than Petey. This for one is wrong. But, they don't believe it. I have taken into my own hands the task of proving this idea is wrong. So, today I ask you all, with unbiased opinion, who's better now, who's better throughout their career? Pettersson or Kotkaniemi? This is a board where most members wouldn't give up Pettersson for McDavid or Mathews, myself included. So if you are looking for unbiased opinions, it's might be easier to find on the Montreal Forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Petey. Careers are tricky to project but Petey should easily be the better player over the course of his career if he continues to build on his rookie year, and he should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 OP seriously should have made the poll public. I would be very interested in knowing who actually voted for Kotkaniemi. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 CDC won't be the most unbiased place for this opinion. See what the polls in Montreal say. Better yet, see what Boston or Toronto fans think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in a few years things are different, but as of now Petersson is a way more impactful player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, you never know who will have a better career but at the moment, EP >> Kotkaniemi to the point that we can trade EP + 6M cap dump for Kotkaniemi.
