Granlund VS Galchenyuk
I am having a hard time deciding between the two. Who do you think will be better in the next couple of years? Who do you think will be better in the long run?
In a salary cap league I like Granlund's cheaper salary, but Galchenyuk is a slide risk and I could get another year of Entry Level contract if he doesn't get 10 games in this year.
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks everyone.

Similar upsides (mid 80s). I think Gally is more offensively gifted and if I had the choice, I'd choose him over Granlund. I think Granlund will be a better all a round player (better multi cat player). Points only, Gally for me. I do however, like Granlund's support cast more being in Minny vs Mtl.Originally Posted by horseflyhab
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
galchenyuk is elite
granlund is studly.
I am leaning to Gally because he is just tearing it up right now, is bigger and I think could put up more points in the future.

Galchenyuk for me.
Points only keeper league
7 teams
28 keepers
Weekly line up: 12 F / 6 D / 2 G
Goalie stats: W=2 / SO=2
I'd say it's the other way round. Granlund is more offensively gifted and will be a better in points only leagues while Galchneyuk has better all-around upside and will be better in multi-cat leagues.

It's so close. For what it's worth, Hockey Prospectus's Corey Pronman has Granlund ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect. He has Galenchyuk ranked sixth. I'd probably lean toward Granlund. He's closer to a finished product and is the more offensively-gifted player.

A few months ago I would have said Granlund easy. I'm not so sure now.
