    Default Who would you pick as keeper James Neal or Taylor Hall?

    In my leagues format, who would you rather have as keeper? Kind of like Hall cause he can make plays himself. But Neal is really good when glued to Malkins hip?
    Any reasons why you would choose either player. Thanks

    Man, tough call.

    I hate to say this (Hall is my favorite NHL player) but I think i would keep Neal due to your league settings. Goal heavy and I think Neal will actually score more goals then Hall. He will probably get your more fantasy points. Not an easy call though.

    Ugh.

    I love them both, but you've got to take Hall.

    - more points last year, is a good start
    - hard to dispute that Neal benefits by playing with superior linemates
    - Edmonton support crew appears to be rising
    - Hall may still find another scoring level, and he's flirting point-a-game right now
    - Hall's a bit younger, but that's not the deciding point for me

    Taylor Hall

    Back and forth on this one, but in the end I would take self-reliant Taylor Hall.

    Hall as a long term keeper. Neal and Malkin have great chemsitry but I like Hall as the better player over Neal. And Edmonton could be an offensive juggernut in a couple of years as their top 6 develops.

    i take Hall here. as good as the Pens are now, the Oilers are just setting up to be oh so good for a looong time. This and (as others have said) Neal's production does seem to be tied to Malkin.

    You've seen enough here. Hall beats Neal. That said, you should be able to trade Neal for at the very least a pick upgrade. Get it done.
