Technically he wasn't. he was just below PPG. So therefore it was Factually correct. Also I was just talking about last year anyway.
Also I said analytically wasn't nessarlily my opinion. But did Petey kill penalties in his rookie and sophomore season when he was 21? Genuinely not sure but he didn't have any SHP so he might not have played PK.
Okay, then consider the scoring pace he was at in the 2nd half of last season. No reason to believe he can't sustain something similar to that. No, Petey didn't kill penalties in his first two seasons, but he's taken that step in his game last season, Hughes didn't though
This is a bad take my friend. I'm not a NJ or a nucks fan but Hughes is gonna be an elite center, his ceiling is much higher then peteys. No shade against Pettersson, great defensively but this isn't close, and it won't get any closer then it is now.

Hate to break this to you, but Pettersson is also very small in weight and injury prone.
Doug Gilmour was small but not softer than a baby’s behind like Hughes. Pettersson has played a full NHL season and only had one season with significant time missed. Why are you people so obsessed with this Hughes kid?

His ceiling is equal to Zegras. He’s good but the overrating of the kid on here has basically made me root against him.
Like I said, your tone still had negative connotations, and I was telling you that you aren't observing Pettersson's outlook closely enough that makes it fair to call him overrated

Personally, I think I'm entitled to my opinion and I doubt you're going to change it. No use in getting upset over what other people think.
Well I think you're opinion reaps of ignorance, and I don't understand why you bother to be carelessly dismissive
You seem to fine with people being dismissive about Hughes but get upset when people prefer him over Pettersson. You've also done nothing to actually get me to change my opinion.
Not sure how having a slight preference to a player over another makes me carelessly dismissive, or why you're so adamant about this. Both are fine players but neither play for a team I follow so I'm likely to put as much thought into my opinion as you put into these polls.

Fine, whatever, but I don't know where you're getting the impression that I'm okay with people being dismissive of Hughes. If anything, I think he gets somewhat overrated by capfriendly users, where as I can't say the same about their attitudes towards Pettersson, probably because he wasn't at the top of his game for the first half of last season
