Yandle or OEL
Want to tap into the wisdom here to get a read on who you think will have a better year this upcoming season...Yandle or Oliver Ekman-Larsson?
League gives double for goals than assists. +/- is half the points of an assist.
For easy reference 2014 stats:
Yandle - 8G 45A -23
OEL - 15G 29A -4
So basically under my leagues scoring they were basically the same last year. Who do you think is going to be better next year?
Bonus question - Do you think these guys will be better, worse, or the same as last year?
Thanks!
Re: Yandle or OEL
Yandle will be better this year IMHO and could be even better if moved to the right team... Though if he does bring back the forward package that they expect then there may not be a big difference between them as OEL then becomes the number one offensive threat from the blueline
Re: Yandle or OEL
I'm concerned Phoenix is going to be even worse next year. These guys will get lots of PP and ice time, but does it matter if team doesn't score much and they have a really bad +/-?
Re: Yandle or OEL
I would go with Yandle in fantasy hockey, for one-year, upcoming year, only.
Re: Yandle or OEL
I say OEL all day...even in one year leagues.....this is the year he jumps yandle's production, and Arizona finally pulls the trigger on a trade to get some more help up front for shipping yandle away
Re: Yandle or OEL
In a points-only situation, it's Yandle every time

Re: Yandle or OEL
OEL is already a better all-around defenseman than Yandle. He has already surpassed Yandle. But he will never surpass Yandle in points and offensive upside, barring injury (of which Yandle gets none)Originally Posted by kekay_20

Re: Yandle or OEL
In a keeper I'd get on the OEL bandwagon asap since he's the future of their blue line
But in a 1yr league you have to go with Yandle

Re: Yandle or OEL
I'm going with OEL, i'm a OEL owner so I am probably a little biased but....

anyone that can pull that off and is known more for their steady all around ability has some serious untapped offensive potential.

With the by a apoints for goals and negative points for +/- I would go with OEL by a hair

Re: Yandle or OEL
Thanks for all the votes and feedback. It's tight between the two!
Re: Yandle or OEL
^ Agree with this. If/when yandle leaves, OEL will soar! Yandle gets my vote.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
