KK can be a genuine 2nd line center, he had a bad year, but proved last season he was.

And, Hoglander's shooting percentage died in the final month of the regular season. He was shooting 25 percent going into April. Perhaps check yourself before you talk. It's not the first time you're wrong and it won't be the last. Rememebr Petterson (whose passed the PPG mark twice) &gt; Aho, Maybe watch other teams games before piping up ain the future, k bud?</div></div>

"Hoglander was shooting 25 percent until he stopped"

By that logic Aho shot 23% from February onward, does that take away from his scoring? Do I get to say he's just lucky he shot 8% above career average? No, because that's ridiculous

Thread: Pettersson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Because Aho is better than Pettersson....? He is...? Neither have you have given me a reason why this isn't the case. So, why don't you stop insulting me and instead give me a reason as to why you disagree? Or are you just upset that your precious starboy isn't as good as the star in a southern market?</div></div>

Just this once I will argue this:

Elias Pettersson had a down season. With that down year Sebastian Aho had slightly better production. If you want to argue Aho had the better season that would be fair, but that does not account for Petterssons injury in the second half. Even factoring that in Elias Pettersson has been: More overall productive (83 point pace vs 97 point pace) a *slightly* worse goal scorer (36 goal pace vs 37) set up way more goals (46 assist pace vs 61 assist pace) the better even strength producer (68 point pace vs 55 point pace) even strength scorer (30 goal pace vs 27 goal pace) even strength playmaker (38 assist pace vs 28 assist pace) and has a *slightly* lower xGA on 5-5 (2.401 vs 2.469 xGA per 60) as of natural stat trick)

As far as line mates go for this season where they were pretty similar overall (Aho was better though) Aho played with (at 5-5) Jarvis, Teravainen, Slavin, and Svechnikov primarily. Pettersson's primary line mates were Hughes, Mikheyev, Hronek, and Hollander. Hughes is obviously the best player on this list but overall Aho easily played with better line mates. In summary, Elias Pettersson when healthy is way better then Sebastion Aho
