Extremely interesting comparison involving star player Elias Pettersson and Martin St-Louis
You probably know the forward Elias Pettersson from the Vancouver Canucks.
He is extremely dominant and is one of the best players in the world right now.
He is at the peak of his form, he is only 24 years old, and he just scored 40 goals and 102 points in a single season!
That's not the most impressive part.
The excellent JFresh, an advanced statistics expert, just made an extremely impressive post.
One of his followers asked him, based on the dozens and dozens of advanced statistics he analyzes, which player most resembles the 24-year-old Elias Pettersson?
His answer? A Martin St-Louis at, hold on, 35 years old!
This means that the current head coach of the Montreal Canadiens was as dominant at 35 years old as Pettersson is currently at 24 years old.
That's extremely impressive.
We must not forget, our head coach was an absolutely phenomenal hockey player, and among the best in history.
At 35, he was better than 98% of NHL players!
Even worse. At 37, Martin St-Louis scored 60 points in 48 games, a staggering pace of 103 points.
We really thought that was worth mentioning.
Watching Elias Pettersson right now is like watching a 35-36 year old Martin St-Louis.
