seriously? RNH is having a year after 12 years in the league. c'mon!
Petterrson, doesnt need mcdavid yo get him 100points.
Rnh would be around 60pts(as usual) on any other team.
Pettersson on the oilers would be out scoring draisaitl. Hed be over 50 goals too
Sorry, Vancouver got the best prospect that year hands down. Even with Cale Makar being picked 4th. overall and playing for Av's.
Lol if petty played with mcdavid he would have 130 points
Not even a conversation really.
obviously pettersson
The real question is Petey vs McDavid. Petey is more talented. Wait til October or the year after…….
Just go both
Dude you gotta be kidding
I’m an oilers fan and it’s Peterson easy. RNH is a legend in Edmonton and I’d never trade him for petterson, but pete is just the better player. I see where people are coming from though, RNH honestly has to be a selke candidate and he’s a massive part of the power play.
lego legit makes a video about anything… like how are you even comparing petey to rnh.
If u make this rnh 5 years younger with magic but still be the same player we could talk.
Petterson
This year is an anomaly for nuge, I'm not expecting nuge to score another 100 points, so yeah. I'd take Petey too because the talent is undeniable and I'm expecting Patterson to eventually hit 100 points. As a oilers fan yeah, at least nuge is getting some recognition
Petersson is easy the better Player but huge respect For the Nuge.
Petey 1000/10 times
Just based on their ages the choice is obvious! It's a five-year age gap with Nugent-Hopkins near the end of his prime years! He is an excellent player on both offense and defense. However, Petey has not even hit his prime yet and his defense is even better than
nugent-hopkins. Nugent-Hopkins point ceiling is a 100-point season. Petey point season is probably slightly north of 120 points.
If the Canucks brain trust won't give Petey a McDavid style contract I will no longer be a Canucks fan! If Horvat value was 68 million Petey's value is considerably more! As per usual I am expecting Aquilini will drop the ball and screw it up!
Petey because he's younger, and RNH is playing with mcdavid, and anyone who plays with mcdusty would have over 100 points easily. And peteys wrister 😮 I would take petey 💯
This should not even be a debate
Petey. Nuge wouldn't get 100 point without McDavid lol.
Nuge is a perfect compliment to McDavid and Drasaitl at a bargain price of 5 mil. bucks. Petterson is the perfect player for
Petey and it’s not even remotely close. Anyone who says Nuge is simply a bot
I'm an Oilers fan I think Nuge is the better supportive player, where as Pettey is the better Franchise main player. Currently Vancouver doesn't have that support for the main cast. Where as Edmonton currently has 2 Franchise players currently. So in Edmonton I would rather have Nuge but in Vancouver I would rather have Pettey.
A product of himself or a product of the top two players in the league. Power play cradle or even strength player. You tell me
buddy this ain’t even a question, younger, better, more potential, pete
There’s literally no debate here. Petey is on a totally different level. Points don’t mean everything!
