Their offense is pretty equal with Hughes having a SLIGHT edge, but Pettersson’s defense is still significantly better
And yet, still basically between the error bars, mostly due to penalty drawing and powerplay.
Jacks defense metrics also blew Pettersson away last season and the season before lol
Hughes had a better EVD in both 20/21 and 21/22. Pettersson’s outlier season this year has him ahead on 3 year EVD WAR, jacks outlier has him ahead on 3 year xEVD
Just to further expand on this, if you look at Evolving-Hockey's 3 year playercard:
Hughes: offense 92, defense 59, overall 95
Pettersson: offense 90, defense 63, overall 95
This argument seems very silly as we're having a conversation about which of these two players who have roughly equal advanced and counting stats, is better. Theyre just about as on-par as you can get.
