Why not agree to disagree if it can’t be civil? It’s not like this is a clear choice. No need to be condescending or defensive if someone supports the other candidate.
Well being fully transparent he had 5 in one of the games I didn’t see. I’m also not saying he didn’t produce. Just when I watch Jack Hughes (I mentioned in the first post is a lot more then I watch EP) he dominates more. I would take him in a heartbeat over EP. Doesn’t necessarily mean I’m right either. Just my opinion.
Also in a heartbeat doesn’t mean anyone is miles better. I’m not saying there is some massive gap. I just like Jack Hughes more as a player and I would choose him everytime. Just like you would choose EP every time, and there is nothing wrong with that.

As players they are super close, but the poll asks who do you take for the next 8 years..this is Hughes because he is a couple years younger…which is the deal breaker
the question in op is not about who has the better career ppg or was the better player in the past. it's about the better option for the next 8 seasons. so past achievements don't help much. pettersson's ppg from the past is not indicative of him being better in the future, because pettersson joined the nhl when he was older and more developped. hughes did some of his development steps in the nhl, which obviously lowers his ppg.
as players they are very close today. but hughes is 2.5 years younger and has already signed a long term contract at a very team friendly aav. i honestly can't imagine the contract pettersson will sign next summer, which would make me choose him in this poll.
EP didn't play in the NHL his D+1 year, while Hughes did as a scrawny 18 year old. If you remove that season for Hughes and compare them both from their D+2 seasons on, Hughes has a higher career PPG. Hughes' PPG have also increased every single season.

I can't understand people need to get pissed off, both are great players. Hughes is the choice in this poll simply because he's already signed and is younger. That doesn't mean that EP isn't as good or maybe even better.
Since no player can break into the league in exact time frame you cant just remove seasons. And Euros are at disadvantage for not playing on small ice before.
That poster claims Hughes “can’t play defense,” so I wouldn’t even engage. He clearly just sees a small offensive player and makes assumptions not based on viewings or knowledge.
Actually, I can do whatever I want.
Hughes played 117 games as a teenager in the NHL compared to just 12 for EP. He's also a much different player than those first two seasons, going from 0.44 PPG to 1.26 PPG.
Looking at career stats to have those first two seasons weigh down Jack's PPG average when EP wasn't even playing in the NHL at that age is kinda pathetic. I also like how you claimed Hughes "sucked all seasons except last one" when he also put up 56 points in 49 games two seasons ago, but OK.
I can do whatever i want also and hughes is a one dimensional player with no defense. Overrated.

Wow, now that’s a statement.
Also considering your join date, no one’s going to say otherwise.
Fierce and well informed.
based on the arguments in this thread some canucks fans would choose crosby over pettersson for the NEXT eight years.
taking things out of context of this poll and completely changing the subject is more or less a troll job.
