Boeser might produce more early on but long term I like Keller's ceiling better
Boeser
Keller
I have the number one waiver priority and I need to decide on Boeser vs Keller. It's a 16 team dynasty league with the following categories....G, A, P, plus/minus, SOG, SHP, PIM, PPP, and GWG. Who has the higher upside long term? Thanks for any advice!

Keller is my choice. That said, I incorrectly voted Boeser above. Apologies for throwing a vote.
Boeser is an exciting prospect, but I would still take Keller here.

Keller for me, but the bonus for goal scoring in your league does make it close as I see Boeser more of the goal scorer of the two.

I own Boeser, I would trade him straight up for Keller without hesitation.
I guess my question is if Boeser has a hot start to his career would the Keller owner over pay for it? We usually see a fair few trades where the 'what have you done for me lately' override future potential so if I think I can squeeze a plus out of it (which depends greatly on the GMs you play with) then I may take Boeser here
Experience is the teacher of all things.

Short term Boeser long term maybe Keller? It's really hard to see how these things shake out. Again who will be the better fantasy own is another question. I think Boeser will be a beast in SOG and provide good scoring. That bodes well for your league. Also what are you trying to build here, if Boeser is better because of age/situation for the next 3 years but then Keller takes over after that, are you ok waiting 3 years for that turnover to take place?

I also think Boeser will eventually add HITs to his game in leGues that count them. Maybe blocks. Definitely PPP. Not sure if he will get time on the PK. I think he's creative enough to get assists too though.

I would suggest you make a play to acquire Keller as soon as you can. He will definitely be worth it for you in the long haul. It will take a lot more than Boeser and some sweetener to acquire him later. Keller will have the opportunity to shine with Domi, Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier, Dvorak and Dylan Strome among others.

Without hits, I take Keller... go with the elite skill set. I disagree with some of the others on short term value. I'm expecting Keller to have an immediate impact next season and the Yotes to be significantly better as the kids take a significant stride forward
