What is Marner better at than Pettersson?
Without sounding controversial, - because Peterson is a good player- Marner is a top 10 player (top 15 at worst) - and he’s better at pretty much everything only exception goals.
Production (career ppg) - Marner 1.07 vs Pet 0.937
Playmaking (primary assists last year & this) - Marner 36, 11 vs Pet 20,10
Goals - Marner 0.327 gpg career, 11 this year vs Pet 0.4, 13
Marner is an elite PK, I don’t watch the Canucks that often so maybe pet is? Don’t know which advanced stat can prove who is better?
All the advanced stats I can access indicate Marner is superior in every metric - xgf%, hdcf%, etc.
Marner is a two time first team nhl all star. I can’t see Paterson ever making even 3rd team nhl all star in his entire career, but 🤷. But we do know he has not come close to that level yet.
I get the whole position argument centre > dman > winger but it’s overplayed imo. subjectively speaking - in the last decade at least 3 wingers are top 10 - Ovie, PK88 & Kuch. They were more valuable than 99.9% of centres that were their peers. In current day - I’d place Kuch, Marchand, Panarin, Marner & Kaprizov in top 15 players in league. Peterson might fit somewhere between 30-50?
