Quoting: Pensfan89
Pettersson has been a top 4 d for the past two years. I understand you don’t watch anything outside of your like canucks bubble and being a top pair d on the Canucks means nothing, especially when your stats are terrible lol. The Canucks d outside of Hughes is kinda bad lol.

Pettersson is way better than Schmidt. It’s a what have you done for me lately business. I mean you see tons of Jarry trades for basically nothing over a few playoff games. I think a whole year of sucking should tank value even more lol. It’s funny though you say MP has only ever been a 6th d but Schmidt his a top pair lol. Schmidt’s ATOI was 20:06. MP’s last year was 19:24. So Pettersson has definitely been a top 4. And was over 16 minutes this year when they rolled 3 pairs.
Ok let's look at this objectively.
TOI the last three season:
Pettersson: 16:29, 19:24, 17:57
Schmidt: 20:06, 21:41, 21:57
TOI team rank amongst defenseman
Pettersson: 8th, 6th, 7th
Schmidt:. 4th, 2nd, 1st
Sorry to burst your bubble. You're trying to tell me Schmidt isn't top 4 when the numbers are closer to him being a no.2 on a cup contender in Vegas no less. Pettersson on the other hand was playing less than guys like Jack Johnson, Erik Gudbranson, Mike Matheson and 3 yr averages out as a 7th defenseman in toi.
Spare me the lols and you don't watch any hockey please.
