[Strong Hearts]

I went with Pettersson.

 

[wintersej]

Lot of good #1C in the league right now

 

[biturbo19]

I went with Pettersson.

Like, if Miller is already selected, it's gotta be Pettersson, because he's better than Miller, on the same team. So logically...

lolwut, there is no argument for EP over JT right now.

 

[RapidKnight]

Easily ROR.

Pettersson gets bullied in must-score situations likely because of his slim stature. O’Reilly does not and nearly doubles Pettersson’s rate. This and the common knowledge that O’Reilly is superior defensively makes it super obvious.

5v5 p/60	Situation:	Trailing	All
Pettersson	2019-20	1.45	2.60
	2020-21	1.69	2.45
	2021-22	1.44	1.60
	Total	1.49	2.12
O’Reilly	2019-20	2.95	2.12
	2020-21	2.39	1.85
	2021-22	2.76	1.82
	Total	2.70	1.94

It’s laughable that O’Reilly is ten spots below Bergeron. He’s not far off defensively and Bergeron’s offensive stats are extremely unimpressive considering all the time he plays with Marchand and Pastrnak.

 

[BlueDream]

Or, I went with ROR since he’s better than both of them.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Except he is not.

 

[Favin]

Thomas or Pettersson for me.

 

[BlueDream]

Except he is not.

Except he easily is, neither of those two have accomplished what ROR has, Miller's fluke 99-point season that he will never replicate aside.

 

[banks]

Kopitar. But ROR isn't a bad pick.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Lot of good #1C in the league right now

That was my takeaway as well. Barzal just got 9m+, and most people would say it's reasonable, and yet he might not even go top 20 here.

Seems like quite a bit more depth than 3-4 years ago.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Except he easily is not. The poll is not asking who has the better career.

Well he just beat Pettersson so suck on that.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Well he just beat Pettersson so suck on that.

Well he lost to Miller, so suck on that.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

This poll is old btw, next one is here: HFBoards Top 32 Centers - #18

 

[BlueDream]

Well he lost to Miller, so suck on that.

Because HF can't remember anything past the last season, but ROR is clearly a much better overall player that has won far more accolades than Miller ever will. Suck deez.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Or maybe, Hf acknowledges that Miller was the better player than ROR and don't hang everything on career merit. Miller's offensive gap> ROR's overrated intangibles.
Stay salty. Suck deez.

Lol at overrated. He's a captain, won a Selke, Conn Smythe, and Cup.

Three things Miller will never accomplish. The Canucks will probably never accomplish that in general, but hey, enjoy his fluke season.

That was O Reilly from 2019. This is now 2022, get with the times.

Miller is better than a 50-60 point player with overrated intangibles. Again stay salty.

 

[lakai17]

How is Roope still left? I go Roope here. Big season by him this year.

And O'Reilly is still elite at all those things, pay attention.

Sounds like you're the salty one. Enjoy never winning anything with J.T. Miller or beyond. Zero to show for it in both yours and his trophy case. Sad.

Except he did all of that in one year. His overrated intangibles does not compensate for Miller having a big advantage offensively.

Pot meet kettle much. You are literally crying at the fact that ROR is below Miller. Seems like you should take your advice here. Sad.

Pettersson couldn’t beat him out since he’s accomplished nothing lmao.

Miller doesn’t have much of an advantage at all offensively. ROR plays on a much more stacked team with more offense to go around, so basically he’s better at everything than Miller.

Damn, the Canucks really suck.

Except the convo has strictly been about Miller and your boy. Pay attention.

He had nearly 40 more points but sure delude yourself with "not much of an advantage offensively".

Tell us something new.
