Is Pettersson a top 5 C in the league?

[LemonSauceD]

Is he even the top C on his own line?

Pettersson Miller Boeser

Miller and Pettersson both take draws and kinda interchange playing wing/center on the fly.

That line’s been together for 7 games

It's a joke. I love Petey.

Draisaitl is so overrated. If the Oilers management was offered Pettersson straight up forcDraisaitl, they would do it without hesitation

 

[EXTRAS]

Calling him selke level when he didn't even get a nomination is stretching it. He got 7th.

 

[x Tame Impala]

McDavid and MacK are the clear cut 1 & 2, then you could have any of: Hughes, Draisaitl, Matthews, and Pettersson rounding out the rest. Maybe Barkov as well. Depends on what you value.

I know i'd love if the Hawks signed EP40 to a 7 x $12m contract though

 

[Ben White]

He’s a unique combo of goalscoring, playmaking and defense. If he could add some more physicality to that he’d be more or less unstoppable.

 

[Breakers]

In the neighborhood

 

[WetcoastOrca]

3rd in points amongst centers behind only Mack and Miller. And better defensively than most of the top guys.
Sure likes like it so far this year.

 

[nucksflailtogether]

This year as a Canucks fan I have Miller ahead of him. Guy has been borderline hart worthy. Pettersson has been less consistent. I have Hughes ahead as well.

However when he’s on its lights out. So I’m going with no so far this year, but on the whole then probably yes.

 

[5 14 6 1]

He's in the group behind McDavid and MacKinnon for me with Draisaitl, Hughes, Crosby, Matthews, Barkov

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Not even the best C on his team

 

[WetcoastOrca]

This year, yes.
Third in points for centers behind only Mack and JT Miller while playing most of the year with pretty poor linemates (Mikheyev and Kuzmenko) at ES but a strong group on the PP.
And plays a strong two way game.
That said, I can see the argument that other centers have a better track record so I think either yes or in the conversation is a good answer.

Recency bias is a thing.

McDavid

Matthews
EP

 

[Ace of Hades]

No

McDavid
Mackinnon
Matthews
Draisaitl
Hughes

Miller
Pettersson/ Barkov

Hughes has done nothing to be that above EP.

Let's be real here.

EP > Hughes at this point especially when you take into effect he has put up better offensive numbers and is more well rounded. Nor doesn't get injured as often.

 

[StickShift]

When he wants to be.

 

[Dave92]

Borderline, he's 5-10 and anyone in that range is top five sometimes.

He is outside the top 10. 10-15 really.

 

[BCNate]

I’d say he is in the 4-7 types range.

 

[crowfish]

He is outside the top 10. 10-15 really.

Higher PPG than Matthews last year and this year so far btw

You joking? lolll

Hell no.

He is too invisible and weak for me. You don't even notice him a lot of games.

You made a take far worse than that. Congrats
