It's obvious that Elias Pettersson is better like it isn't even close the difference between these two players is like comparing Gretzky to Scuderi.

Dunno what he has to do with Heiskanen but no, it's not as impressive...Youngest player to win the award. He still doesnt turn 19 for another 2.5 months... still not as impressive as Petersson tho /s
Dallas fans don't sound salty at all.
Yeah so some Canucks fans overrate Pettersson but you guys responding like this doesn't put you anywhere above the canucks homers.
He didn't start it. Silly to single him out.PLEASE TO GOD, stop talking about talking Pettersson in this thread.
We will agree to disagree on this thenDunno what he has to do with Heiskanen but no, it's not as impressive...
People outside Finland probably don't watch him at all, excluding perhaps international competition where he didnt stand out at the WJC (had a mediocre tournament, was injured?). But he is a very special player on most nights. It's remarkable to watch him on the rush, give crisp passes and be poised under pressure with how many minutes per night he played. His skating is so elegant too. Also seems to have a good head on his shoulders. From interviews he came off as quiet, confident and smart, these traits reflect his play imo. I guess if you spend your D+1 in Finland and you're drafted by Dallas a lot of hype won't be coming his way, which is fine. I believe it was great for him to spend another year in Liiga.It still amazes me how we have here posters who have no idea what a season he had.
I can't really agree. I consider it a more impressive season.Dunno what he has to do with Heiskanen but no, it's not as impressive...
Yep. That's the only explanation I can think of. People just don't understand how good Heiskanen's season was. Which is rather odd, to be frank. It's right there.It still amazes me how we have here posters who have no idea what a season he had.

Habs fan, no dog in this fight. Miro is the better prospect. Flourishing while playing the tougher position to dominate as a KID. And this is the Heiskanen thread, i don't want to hear about the Canucks prospect in this thread. I saw some activity here and was thinking to get some nice news/footage, and all i find is trolling. Go away!
It's like this in most prospect threads. Endless comparisons which don't even make sense.I swear this thread has turned into a pre-school fight from both sides. Grow up and appreciate both players, who gives a f**k if one is slightly better than the other. This thread should be discussing Heiskanen's accomplishments, and not be a ridiculous unwinnable argument.

I guess I'll try bringing these two points up(in vain):
1. Miro Heiskanen is over 8 months younger.
2. Miro Heiskanen is a defenseman. Defensemen in general take a significantly longer time to develop.
3. Miro Heiskanen is not an offensive defenseman. Offensive production was supposed to be a "weakness" of his. Perspective.

Nucks fan here, no dog fight at all. It was a Dallas fan who brought up Pettersson. Not us. so gtfo.
Well, McDavid at 8. surely makes this list pointless.Miro was the 10th fastest skater in the WHC, according to measurements by the IIHF.
1. Ronalds Kenins, Latvia: 41,32 km/h
2. Leon Draisaitl, Germany: 39,94 km/h
3. Frederik Tiffels, Germany: 39,61 km/h
4. Marek Hovorka, Slovakia: 39,58 km/h
5. Patrick Kane, USA: 39,26 km/h
6. Adrian Kempe, Sweden: 39,16 km/h
7. Tristan Scherwey, Switzerland: 38,99 km/h
8. Connor McDavid, Canada: 38,91 km/h
9. Kasperi Kapanen, Finland: 38,75 km/h
10. Miro Heiskanen, Finland: 38,63 km/h
If Pettersson was a Finn he'd be the second coming of Christ to you.
I don't like how people assume that kids like Tolvanen and Vesalainen are 100% going to be success stories. Nothing is certain. People are counting their chickens before the eggs have hatchedI think Finns are tired of all the top-end forward prospects. a defenseman is a bigger deal atm
He was so utterly wrong utilised in the WHC, just gonna say that. Played the anchor role in his pairing and killed penalties instead of Qbacking the pp. He is very good defensively for his age, but imo the offense he can bring outshines that. Just couldn't get it really going at any point compared to what he showed in the FEL playoffs. At least Marjamäki won't coach him ever again.
