that's right, he is better defensively, he's also 2 years older and hasn't been playing on a rebuilding team his entire career. Hughes will get there.

It took Hughes 30 seconds and two laps around the black box to produce a mini-Jack Hughes. EP couldn’t deliver a mini-Elias Pettersson until the draft.

Stop trolling

This was humor. Lighten up. Its all good fun.

Yes, Jack had a better year offensively than Petey last season, but what about over both players careers as a whole? I think Petey has scored at a higher rate from that vantage point

Sounded more like an insult than a joke

Reading is hard for some people...

Person is saying Pettersson is better than Hughes because Pettersson is better defenisvely. I show an example of how being better defensively doesn't mean better overall. And somehow you twist my words.

gonna go with hughes. personally i find pettersson overrated.

Hughes is the most overrated player by Capfriendly users

I get that but Hughes isn’t good enough to be in that kind of comparison. An elite defensive centre is better than a Jack Hughes any time

Rent free lmao



You still don’t know how to read. Got it

Read this, Hughes is a light weight that breaks easily. Pettersson is an elite two way centre. There’s no debate give me a complete Swede over the little featherweight who breaks

Hate to break this to you, but Pettersson is also very small in weight and injury prone.

I personally think Jack Hughes is more talented. Now you could argue there about the same. But I think Jack Hughes is slowly becoming a top Center in the League.

Seriously? Didn't mean any insult by it and I am sorry if I sounded that way.

I was talking about Hughes show at the all-star game. (with the "mini-Jack Hughes")

I don't see how the same can't be said for Pettersson

I feel Hughes can be a top 5 Center and Petterson can be a top 15 center.

You've provided no evidence to support that claim. For all we know, Pettersson can be a top 5 center as well[/quote

For sure. Obviously, anything could happen. I have no real bias here I hate the devils and don't care for the canucks. Personally I think Hughes is a more skilled player

Analytically
Jack Hughes is better Offensively and defensively.
Elias Petterson has the better underlying analytics.

Statistically, Hughes has improved every year and was PPG last year
Petterson has been solid every year but hasn't made the big jump yet and not PPG.

Hughes is 2 years younger

The Eye test also tells me Hughes is a more skilled and talented player.

Oh okay, but your track record for making good fun in these forums as oppose to sounding biased isn't great

Pettersson was a PPG in his first two seasons, so don't tell me he isn't a PPG cause that's factual incorrect. How the hell is Hughes better defensively? He doesn't kill penalties while Pettersson does. Eye test means nothing for two players who aren't in their prime yet
