Ghost or Trouba

G A P PPP PIM +/- SOG

Trying to decide whether to keep Trouba or Ghost. And which one to potentially trade before the deadline in my league. I'm still leaning towards keeping Gostisbehere, maybe still stuck on his rookie season hoping he can find that stride again. Is this just a sophomore slump? Trouba on the other hand looks quite good this year. I'd hate to let Ghost go and watch him explode again. If my league had blocks and hits it would likely be a Trouba no brainer, but my league is mainly focused on the standard offensive categories. What do you guys figure?

To keep, I'd probably go Ghost.

Also, if you are interested in winning this year and your league has fantasy playoffs, Winnipeg has a particularly bad schedule in that time period. In contrast, Phili plays 4 games per week in that time period

I'm on the Trouba side... gives you more PIM & at least matches SOG if not surpasses Ghost... he's finally opened up a bit offensively and is on a 45pt pace this season if you pro-rate over 82 games. Ghost higher reward, Trouber higher floor - safer play. Too bad you don't count blocks/hits - then this would be a no-brainer.

I have both guys and have to make a similar decision on who to keep and I lean Ghost. Tough call though. I feel like you would be selling Ghost super-low right now and will not get enough to make the deal make any sense. Trouba on the other hand should fetch a better return. The worry I have on letting go of Trouba is if/when he gets traded somewhere he can play top line and PP minutes he then becomes more valuable long-term than even Ghost IMO (as Philly has deep prospect pool who may supplant Ghost in the not-so-distant-future).

Interesting discussion....as a Trouba owner nice to hear the above feedback, but regardless I would also lean towards Trouba

I'd lean the ghosts way. more scoring upside imo.
