Letang and Backes no question.
Hi All,
Coming to double check for sanity here on a trade I have. Which side would you prefer:
Team A:
Letang
Backes
Team B:
Oshie
Stastny
League:
14 H2H Dynasty: G/A/+-/PIM/PPP/SHP/SOG/HTS/BLK
In my mind it comes down to what STL plans on doing with Backes this year and his age, and Letang's BAB status.
Thank you again.

I'd much rather have the Letang/Backes side. Even with all the risk.
Do you just start any position or is it F and D?
If it's F and D then the Letang side wins easily.
If it's any position it should be a lot closer but I still think I take the letang side. Backes is a beast with your scoring setup

Im taking Team A. Backes, a category monster, is only 2 years older than Stasny and Letang when healthy can put up as many points as Oshie from the D. With Kessel in Pit I'd be all over Letang for the PPP + and he had his best year for pts despite only playing 69 games last year.

I'd almost look at it as...taking Backes in a 2 for 1 deal and Letang as a bonus throw in....
Backes / Letang side wins easily.
With those cats and no FOW, it's an easy vote for Backes and Letang.

I can appreciate the slight hesitation based on Oshie potentially lining up with OV/Backs and WAS PP1 needing a new net-front presence... but it's still a definite Backes/Letang side imo.

Easily Backes/Letang side here.
I'm with the others here - Backes/Letang for me too!
Team A... Letang is going to have a field day getting the puck to Crosby/Malkin/Kessel!
I also like Backes better than Oshie or Stastny just due to his consistency over the years
