    Who is the better keeper in a points only league?

    I like Benn going forward.

    Very tough choice. I think I would have to go with Getzlaf here if you don't differentiate between Centers and Wingers though. I only suggest Getz because he has already proven he can consistently play at better than a point-per-game pace whereas Benn hasn't reached that level yet.

    No one could fault you for picking Benn though especially since he's going into his "magical fourth year".
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    I would also personally choose Getz but both are good choices

    So hard to go against Benn, after last years disappointing season by Getzlaf, but I feel like Getzlaf has the potential to put up bigger points then Benn. Getzlaf is my pick.

    I think Benn remains underrated even if he's getting more love recently. He'd be my pick but both are excellent choices.

    I would go with Getzlaf, he will have a bounce back season.

    Thanks guys... Its a trade option. I have Getzlaf and could trade him for Benn. If I say the trade is Getzlaf and Pitkanen for Benn and Shattenkirk, does that change a few minds?

    Yes sir, I think Shattenkirk is a big enough upgrade over Pitkanen that it makes it worth it. Like I said, I only slightly prefer Getz to Benn so that would easily push the trade in favor of the Benn side.

    I love Benn to death, but Getz has posted 80+ and 90+ point seasons which speaks louder than potential.

    Didn't read the shattenkirk change. With him in the mix, I'd take benn + shatty.
