Close call but I'm taking fabbri here on the better team
better keeper option Mikko Rantanen or Robby Fabbri?, all stats except ATOI (if Rantanen's -25 is a turn off, Fabbri was -16 and +/- is quite insignificant in my league)

Fabbri for me, but I agree with Axe's point that I wouldn't fault you for going with Rantanen.

In a 16-team league there should be a trade market for these guys. Put them both on the block and sell one.

I'd go with Rantanen. Even if they're 5-10 points apart he'll be worth more.

For me I think Rantanen due to higher trade value but I do prefer Fabbri's supporting cast (but then maybe that is a reason not to go him as plenty of options for the Blues to shuffle things around whilst Rantanen could be one of the main guys)
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Rantanen is more of a playmaker than a goal-scorer while Fabbri could be the better goal-scorer of the two of them. Just points, I like Rantanen more. Of course that's assuming Colorado is able to get their sh*t together but I think they will.
I like Rant here. i know teh Blues are a better squad, but i feel teh depth will hurt Fabbri.

I like Rantanen more, while only slightly, he's younger, and has more of a chance to become a franchise player in a struggling squad like Colorado. Rantanen has higher prestige, and, in my opinion, a higher ceiling. Rantanen could easily be a 50+ points player next year
I'm going to say it - I'm not drinking the Rantanen kool-aid. Is he going to be a full time NHLer? Sure. Will he have a 20 goals season or two? Probably. But I'm not seeing the ingredients of a special player. To me, he's one of those players who'll be hyped, then propped up after he doesn't hit the ground running, then all of a sudden folks will realize he never amounted to anything.
Fabbri, on the other hand, has shown flashes of strong play. Plus, he was a stalwart for a while on PP1, and on a team as deep as St. Louis that will be key. I'm taking Fabbri here.
