Here are links to the other polls:

Kane vs. Nugent-Hopkins

Giroux vs. Spezza

Malkin vs. Duchene

I went with Kane over RNH, as Kane's body of work gives him the edge.

Yet I took Eberle over Toews, despite Toews also having that edge.

I'm not asking anyone to agree or disagree..more making a random statement on the reasons we have for making certain decisions in fantasy hockey.

This Cage Match is a solid idea.

These two are very close but went with Toews.

Love the two Hawks vs Oilers matches. I went Toews and RNH

Yeah the two Hawks/Oilers ones are pretty tight. I gotta go with the proven guys though when in doubt.

Yeah same here. Close but.....

Eberle, Kane, Giroux, and Malkin for me. The first two were close.

Went with Kane over RNH because I worry about RNH's durability. Looks like those of us concerned about his body withstanding the bigger, stronger NHL had legit concerns. Kane, despite being a small, first overall pick as well, has shown he is better at avoiding injuries.

Went with Eberle over Toews mostly due to offensive upside, though this was a tough decision for me. Could have gone either way really.

Agreed, very close. I think I went with Toews because of his proven leadership capabilities, performance under pressure assure me of his place/position on the team. As much as one can be assured when it comes to these things.

Unless you are a REAL world manager (not fantasy) or you actually count the playoffs, Toews is not the better player here. Don't get me wrong, Toews has great talent and he's solid across the board it's just I can't ignore Eberle's talent being superior in just his sophomore year. His PIM production will be low but that's easily overlooked because Toews is as gentle in the PIMs dept.

Strictly points, boogeypop. No periphs considered.
