V.Hedman vs R.Ellis
 

Who would you rather have short or long term?

Hedman for both.

Any particular reason?

Established player with good upside, more likely to reach that upside and will never just be a PP speci.alist.

For right now it's a no-brainer as it's not even certain that Ellis is in the top six for Nashville, even with Suter's departure. Hedman is Tampa's best dman and has Carle to condend with or work with. For the future I go with the multi cat beast.

Great freakin PTS. I will pursue Hedman with zeal!!!

Hedman for me, now & future.

I like Hedman too. I think the kid is finally figuring out the offensive game. He wont best defenseman for the month of November in the KHL. Add that to the fact that he is almost averaging a point per game this year and the way he finished the season last year, I think we may see that potential.

I like both, but at this point in time, I'd go with Hedman. I think the buy low window on him is just starting to close (based on his 2nd half last year and somewhat on KHL performance).

I love Hedman but in this instance, I would rather have Ellis. Sometimes I might not choose the boom/bust guy but here is an instance I would.

I'd rather have Hedman.
