I like Hedman although I think it's very close. I'd side with Hedman because we don't know where Barrie will be playing next season at this point (rumours abound).
I've been offered Barrie for my Hedman.
I'm at a loss on who I should go with
H2H. Points league
G=3 A=1.5 PIM =.2 STG =+1. STA =+.5. Major=+1.
I think Barrie has a higher upside and less chance of injury, but Hedman has the better team. Totally close, who do you like better?

Thanks! That is where I was at, need more to respond so I an rep ya. (apparently you advise me a lot !)
Pm-- just next year doesn't matter. They are both young, so let's say for 5 years...
Man tough call, I do not envy your position in this!
I want to lean towards Hedman because I personally think he has another gear we will soon see ala' Shea Weber(ish) 18-20 goal seasons. 'Which is huge with your point for goals. Hedman's shot is filthy.
So given that I personally feel Hedman will score more goals over a bulk period of time vs that of Barrie. I go with Hedman.
Thanks Shake. Hedman's injuries and low moments have me considering it. I see Hedman having a higher goal total, But I wonder if Barrie can out point him by going assist crazy.
As of right now I would take Hedman, I also believe he has another gear.. Barrie could be on a totally different team next season, so I'm just not sure where he will be and who he will be playing with..

Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
I'm going to go against the pack here. This season Barrie had three more goals and two more points overall than Hedman. So pretty much even there, but Barrie had 10 more of those points on the powerplay (double Hedman's), which in your settings would help pretty significantly.
While Hedman definitely could hit another gear if he can finally grab more PP time from Stralman (which he clearly should be given, but Cooper seems to like deploying his two PP units relatively evenly), at this point, Barrie's in a better position on the powerplay. I also see him staying in a favourable position if he gets moved, especially if its to Edmonton. They're also seeing pretty much the same amount of total ice time, so there's not a ton of room for Hedman to improve there either. Also, Hedman sees a higher percentage of Ozone starts (55.81 vs 47.46 for Barrie), which would lead me to believe that Barrie actually has more room to improve his points total, especially if the rumours are true and he's on the move this summer. I could see him really flourishing on a team that would be looking to him to drive the offence from the blue line.
Overall, I think Hedman definitely could see an uptick in his points, particularly in the goals column; but right now, and in the next couple seasons, I think that both the ceiling and the floor are higher for Barrie.

I was surprised by my first 3 responses by very knowledgeable folks. Ignolo brought up points I was going to ask about. Mostly cooper going back to not using Hedman so much on the pp once he has stralman again.
Wen you consider Hedman's first quarter points it's a no brainer - issue has always been him sustaining it... You have to feel one year that he will and he will gobble up more pp time. O zone starts is a little misleading here as you aren't comparing apples with apples as Tampa is the better team overall
for me I have more faith in Hedman both sustaining and also kicking on a gear than I do Barrie

It's close but I'd go with Barrie.

Both Barrie and Hedman have question marks around their production going forward.
Barrie is rumoured to be headed out of Colorado so who knows where he ends up. That could affect his production some, but that's the question marks for him. If he stays in Colorado, then he's the choice for me.
As far as Hedman goes, Stralman still affects his production to some extent, plus there's the health concerns with Hedman as well.
It's close but I'd want Barrie here.
