<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JhonnyCanuck5</b></div><div>DeBrincat points per game last 3 years: .933
Pettersson points per game last 3 years: 1.02
That’s the equivalent of 7.13 points over the course of a season.
Hardly a difference that shows Pettersson is “by far better” or “3 times better” than DeBrincat.

So statistically, an extra 1st, a middle 6 forward, and a good prospect should make up for the 7 point difference over 82 games.

Of course, who am I to let facts and statistics get in the way of a good narrative…</div></div>

Pettersson has been injured the two years prior to this one. How about the fact that Pettersson is about to put up 100 points. DeBrincat only had 78 points the season he was traded. Pretty significant difference. Not to mention that Pettersson is SIGNIFICANTLY better defensively than DeBrincat, while also playing a more important position. Also you neglected the fact that Ottawa got a 7th overall pick whereas your picks are literally protected. What value makes up for the difference in first round picks? The Hawks were also shopping DeBrincat. The Canucks have publicly said that Pettersson is completely off limits. If you want to pry him from Vancouver, there is absolutely no reason that they would trade him without getting a premium asset like Seider back. Absolutely no reason. It simply isn't logical. They don't want to move Pettersson so why should they without getting a MASSIVE overpay? They fact that you think the Wings could get Pettersson without moving ANY of their top prospects or ANY of their top players, and not even their OWN first round pick is embarassing. Lack of critical thinking and poor evaluation of value.
