[Lavar Ball]

Pettersson quite comfortably

Pettersson quite comfortably

Lol what?

Debrincat has produced noticeably more and they're both there for their offense.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I'm taking Debrincat. But I think this is a really good poll. Feels like Petterson really needs to breakout though while Debrincat has arguably already broken out

 

[Petey O]

Lol what?

Debrincat has produced noticeably more and they're both there for their offense.

Pettersson is also 'there' for his defense. He's a great two way center.

 

[M2Beezy]

Which Elias Pettersson?

 

[jbeck5]

Pettersson is also 'there' for his defense. He's a great two way center.

Debrincat is no slouch defensively either. He doesn't seem to be out of position. Backchecks hard. Plays the body.

But they're both getting paid the big bucks for their offense.

I think EP still has another gear (or two).

I too pick him easily. Center vs W also helps.

 

[Cup or Bust]

Pettersson has so much potential. We have not seen the best of him yet.

 

[Crow]

EP has the potential to be as good as debrincat has been the last two years so let’s all vote for him.

 

[Holymakinaw]

They're both overrated for their defensive play. Good offensively. Picked Pettersson because he's a Centre.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Petterson easily.
I think he’s primed for a big year and will rapidly move up the center rankings.

 

[NiagaraKraken]

DeBrincat all day. 40 goals

 

[Regal]

EP has the potential to be as good as debrincat has been the last two years so let’s all vote for him.

He already has a season better than DeBrincat has ever been.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Petterson but close

 

[nergish]

6'2.5 vs 5'6

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Pettersson by a close but clear margin

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Damn EP went from top 5 forward in the world to not even as good as DeBrincat. HfB is a fickle mistress

 

[Phrasing]

I wouldn’t trade EP for Cat, but wouldn’t fault anyone choosing Cat. It’s not guaranteed EP will separate himself.

 

[ijuka]

Dunno, to me Pettersson's trending down and Debrincat's trending up.

Less to do with HFB being fickle and more to do with EP playing worse hockey than Debrincat.

"Trending down"

Despite being lights out in the second half of last season and in the preseason so far.

The laughs keep coming

Last few years. I don't care about the preseason.

Pettersson having a good second half to the last season was probably variance correction for his dreadful first half to it.

Doesn't matter what he did a few rs ago. Where he was largely injured and played behind one of the worst coaches in the league

What matters are recent larger samples.

 

[Love]

Pettersson produces more, plays a more valuable position, is younger, and is better defensively. These are two very good and talented young players but this is clearly Pettersson.
