Turris or Callahan?
 

Hi guys, this is for a couple of years down the road. Who do you like in a points only keeper: Turris or Callahan?

It's never really for a couple of years down the road unless you are talking about potential superstars. Turris is nice but I don't think he's SOOOOOO good that you'd bother taking him over Callahan. Seems pretty neutral for the future so you should stick with the more productive player currently.

I'd stick with proven in Callahan. I don't see Turris scoring more than him.

Safe: Callahan, Risk: Turris.

Turris has upside, and I think it's worth the risk. He had some decent streaks last season, and with Nash/Gabby/Richards - I think Callahan's production actually takes a slight hit.

Callahan over Turris, especially if you have to factor in postion. Turris has a slight potential to out point Callahan, but is much less likely to do so. The chance of Turris out scoring Callahan, is not worth the risk.

I'd roll with Callahan as well. As md said, Turris' upside is not worth passing on Callahan.

Callahan. I still think he has even more upside, not alot but some. Turris does as well but feel he'll be more inconsistent.

I would go with Callahan as well.

I did like what I saw from Turris when he was traded to Ottawa last year, but Spezza is the number one centre and will be for some time.

Points only, I'm going with Turris. Yes, he's more unproven than Callahan but all Callahan has proven to me is that he'll be a 50-ish point player. I like some risk and with Turris I see someone who can consistently outpoint Callahan, despite being the guy behind Spezza. Turris is riskier but I see him being a 60-point player and I don't see that in Callahan.

I agree 100% with your player breakdown. But it's also the reason that I would take Callahan. The way I see it; at most,as said, Turris out points Callahan by 10pts at some point, but who's know when that happens. 10 Pts isn't worth waiting a couple of years for (likely) when it's potential/proven we're talking. Depending on how active you are, it may not even be relevant to your position/team by the time Turris hits 60.
