    Default Datsyuk vs. Ovechkin

    Considering a trade that is my Datsyuk for his Ovechkin. I need to add more firepower to the G, PPG, and GWG cats. as they've been trailing off recently. At the end of the season, who walks away with more goals? Datsyuk or Ovechkin? I already know for a fact that, if I proposed the trade, it would go through without concern, as the opposite manager has already expressed interest, mostly because Datsyuk has more points. However, in the past 14 days, Datsyuk has 2 goals, 6 assists, 0 PPG, 0 GWG, where Ovechkin has 3, 2, 1, 1. BUT Ovechkin got all 3 goals in a single game. Ovi has a total of 8 goals, while Datsyuk does too.

    So, all in all, who would walk away with more goals? If I lose a 40 assist season to get an extra 10 goals, I'm all in (as I'm already being destroyed weekly in assists), but I'm not willing to risk it on Ovi if others tell me that he is only going to drop my numbers.

    Tough one. Dats is certainly the model of consistency. The guy is going to get points every week. OV, not so much, at least the way things are going for the Caps this season. He was not good last night. And that was right after a hat trick, when everyone thought he had finally hit his stride. I don't know what to make of him, or the Caps. I think it's a high-risk / high-reward thing for you. If you put a gun to my head and ask me to choose, I'd say OV gets more goals from here on out. But total points and consistency - keep Datsyuk. But no, you're not going to "get an extra 10 goals." Less than that, not more, imho.

    Go for OV. As far as consistency is concerned, there is no one more consistent in the goal scoring department. A career worst of 32 goals says it all. Top it off with Dats at a 16.3 S% (yes he's done it before, but those types of numbers worry me) and it's a safe bet OV outscores him going forward.

    Thanks for your input guys! Does anybody else have anything to add, maybe? I'm not willing to go through with the decision until I have some more perspective.

    I think it's a pretty easy choice, give up Datsyuk and get Ovechkin.
