    Default Subban or Giroux?

    limited keeper (keep 10 of 23), 12F / 6D / 2G / 3BN

    G A +/- PIM SOG HIT BLK STP are the skater categories

    I have PK and I'm torn on this one. would love to have G but dont think owner would bite unless i offer a young prospect (barkov/yak/nichu) and/or a 1st or 2nd round pick - is that too steep a price? is straight up even a fair price?

    Subban is better to own than Giroux, especially in a limited keeper. He should be adding the pick, not you

    Interestingly this same trade happened in my dynasty league this year. Even without hits and blocks as categories there was a feeling that Subban is a more valuable asset. In your league, with those categories and the fact that Subban is right there with karlsson as #1 for his position - I think he's the better bet.
    I once traded Henrik Lundqvist and Ilya Kovalchuk in return for Peter Budaj and Henrik Zetterberg… have lived in shame ever since.

    I agree. I was offered Giroux for my Subban a week ago and thought about it but decided I'd rather own Subban in the end.

    Because it's a 6D limited keeper, Subban is the choice here. I might lean toward Giroux if you started fewer D, but the choice here is easy.

    Subban is AWESOME! I'd do that trade.
