Thread: Ekholm or Parayko

    Default Ekholm or Parayko

    Points only keeper league, who would you take?
    Both are buried on their respective depth charts but I've been leaving towards Parayko because I think he has the higher long term ceiling. I've asked this question several times this summer and I've received a 50/50 split. My draft is in 2 days so just looking for some last minute advice. Thanks dobber heads!

    Parayko for me. Ekholm doesn't have a good situation to improve on his current numbers.

    Parayko will be unburied big time by this time next year - he's my pick here. And frankly I'm surprised you got a 50/50 breakdown in votes.

    Ekholm with the higher floor for this season but Parayoko the higher ceiling (by a fair bit) and the higher floor after this season

    In a vaccuum, they have similar upsides im my view. However Parayko has a MUCH more open situation, and I wouldn't hesitate to go Parayko.

    Maybe I am just crazy but I don't see the big offensive upside that most do in Parayko.

    I'll take Ekholm and expect him to prove me right.

    I'm not sure anyone is saying huge upside... Just think it's higher than Ekholm

    To me they're not that different and Ekholm is probably a better player but opportunity is key. There's only so much a player can do from PP2 and the 2nd pair.
