For an accurate comparison between the two last year counted as Pettersen's 19-year-old season—not his 20-year-old season—where Pelletier's was his 18-year-old season as you correctly indicated. Also, Pettersen's 19-year-old NHLe is actually 35—precisely the same number as Pelletier's 19-year-old NHLe as recorded through only six games.

I was more counting seasons ago, not age (though I mentioned age). So I was comparing the last full season of each.
I think I generally trust junior numbers more more than US college anyway.
