Pettersson or Hughes; who would you pick?

[Wry n Ginger]

Revisionist history.... Pretend 20/20 hindsight...

SUPER LAME THREAD BUMP.

Real story is that they both have the majority of their NHL careers ahead of them and countless stories still to be told.

Vancouver Canucks HFBoards page has higher standards than posts solely designed to cause derision and petty bickering amongst its fan base.

Peace and be better. We want all our players to achieve their potential and granstanding about a post from 4 years ago is dookey.

 

[Coffees]

Puck moving defensemen who literally take over the game whenever they're on the ice are so rare. I vote Hughes

Come back brother

I agree with your idea, but it’s only lame to mock react or mock reply, merely bumping the thread is not lame, it’s cool to look back at these threads.

As for the players, they’re both U25, so yeah we’re lucky to have both and also like you said many more stories yet to be told


Kind regards,

Pettersson.

Anyone voting Hughes will look as dumb as declaring Boeser a franchise elite perennial 40 goal scorer in his rookie season

Lol at this post, how things have changed.

1. Anyone that voted Hughes looks smart
2. Elite Brock Boeser is a 40 goal scorer

Pettersson.

Not only that but I'd also trade Hughes right now for another Pettersson.

Loll

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Pettersson.

It's easier to find a Tyson Barrie to cover most of what Hughes does than to find a point-per-game #1 center.

Lol

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

For Hughes to be effective you have to insulate him with good defenders that can take the pressure off him in the D zone, you need defenceman like Tanev, Edler & Myers to allow Hughes to do his thing. With Pettersson he was lighting it up with Eriksson & Goldobin as his wingers. EP40 leads the team with a +16 rating while Hughes is -1. The Canucks desperately needed an offensive defenceman and Hughes value to the team has been substantial but Pettersson is the better player.

Yikes lol I was in the same boat

Holy smokes you need to lighten up.

What a stupid bump. we get it, Petey hasn't been good the last 50 or so games.

You want another one? I think that would be overkill. But go ahead if you feel so inclined.

Agreed

A team is more than one player.

Neither were impressive in the real season.

Just for entertainment, like the ice capades, then Hughes.

For team improvement then a trade of either while they are still rated so high in the league.
Picks AAA prospects and young star potential players, quantity with quality potential.

Missing the real season by 2 points is worse than missing by 20 points. At least missing by 20 points could garner TWO NHL players in one draft, the first and 2nd rnds.

With so many picks you might even be able to get one player like Pettersson or Hughes!

Even with a 102PT season in tow, it was Hughes that was named captain. Quinn is the straw that stirs the drink. Quinn leads with determination, a deep seated hunger and drive to win and make everyone better around him.

I think the last time we saw that drive and passion from Pete was his rookie season. Until he gets back to that place mentally, it’s not even close.

 

[VanJack]

Norris Trophy d-men are worth a lot more than any forward not named McDavid, Mackinnon or Matthews.

Wasn’t talking about that. Obviously Quinn is worth more. I’m talking about a Petey hater trying to bump threads to shit on him
