Value of: Pettersson vs Eichel

[zcaptain]

Ok, I am not saying who has more value, but I am asking

Who has more value at this moment?

Slumping Pettersson or Injured Eichel?

My thoughts on it.............

If Eichel has his surgery and he returns to pre-injury Eichel, then I would assume he would have more value.

With Pettersson, I think he has shown some glimpses of his former self, before his injury. I also think Pettersson is in a bad coaching situation at the moment.

So, I see merits in both players, and probably see less risk in Pettersson, but???????????

I keep asking myself......would Pettersson get the Eichel trade, if he was available, or more, or less?

I think I already know what Vancouver fans would say, but what about the rest of you?

Broken Petey Vs. Optimistic Jack.

Give me physically the broken (Eichel) over the mentally broken (Pettersson) in this case.

 

[LongWayDown37]

Eichel is a far better player. Eichel.

 

[CupInSIX]

I can't see Pettersson fetching as much until he starts putting up the points (in which case, why trade him?)

 

[themelkman]

Pettersson should get more for the simple reason they dont have to trade him. Eichel was a ticking time bomb which brought his value down extremely

Hi. Sabres fan here.

I honestly couldn't care less.

 

[Qwijibo]

There’s no reason to believe Eichel won’t return to form. He’s the better player all day, every day. Eichel is worth more

Is this like the hockey fan equivalent of telling somebody you're a vegan even though nobody asked?

 

[Three On Zero]

Pettersson on raw talent, Eichel on overall game. Interesting to see which one regains form

 

[SENStastic]

Eichel AINEC

Eichel and not close. Like not remotely close.

Pettersson is weak, straight up. This guy is not a top 50 player in the NHL. Most overrated player to enter the NHL in more than 20 years. Terrible.

 

[Legend123]

petterson has been terrible this season and has a huge contract. Eichel at least can be back to his superstar self once he comes back

Pettersson has always been terrible.

Pettersson has always been terrible.

lol why do u dislike him so much?

he was a beast up until last season

 

[nergish]

Pettersson has always been terrible.

LOL wtf?

158 points in 176 games... terrible, eh?

He's 22 years old and has played under 200 games, the kid's career is just getting started.
It's just an unfortunate start to a season coming off injury and missing training camp during contract negotiations.

 

[Cogburn]

Petey's looking back to form tonight, as most of us predicted happening sooner or later. Eichel got Buffalo a good return, and that will be better than Pettersson gets, for no other reason than we don't want to trade him.

Pettersson has always been terrible.

He put up more points in playoffs than mustache boy

He is just a typical Leafs fan who thinks Mickey Mouse Marner is worth 11 million Petersson will get back to his old form eventually and this board will once again praise him.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Bumping after a couple seasons of hindsight.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Opened thread hoping to see some great old "hot takes"
Leaving very disappointed.

 

[PettersonHughes]

Writing's on the NHL scoring leaders board now -- one's a Selke caliber, all situations top C who almost had as many assists as the other has points. The other might be on a contender, but on an individual level it's no longer close.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Of all the threads someone could bump on this topic, this has to be the worst

 

[RebuildinVan]

Give me physically the broken (Eichel) over the mentally broken (Pettersson) in this case.

Weve all made takes on here that didnt age well...what a random one to bump
