Quoting: Caniac2000
You think Aho was fully healthy all year? Oh buddy, that's cute. Aho didn't have a career year, he just rectified what could have been without the pandemic. EP40's got 2 70+ point seasons, Aho has 5. Aho's also clearly better defensively, as you so kindly pointed out with the xGA stats.
Aho never played with Teuvo, and very rarely played with Svech. Usually it was some combination of Martinook and Necas. But EP40 played on that lotto line, with Miller... is Miller now less talented than Necas?
The xGA numbers are very similar, not enough to say Aho is significantly better defensively. They are very close defensively
Pettersson is above a PPG in his career while Aho is 40 points below a PPG. Pettersson is clearly better offensively

But Aho never plays with Teuvo and barely with Svech though right? If you’re gonna lie about who Aho plays with then you should make sure the data isn’t easily accessible
