That's a tough one. I think I'd prefer Arvy though, despite him being the less proven commodity. I just think NSH is trending in a much better direction

Saad for sure.
Before and after the recent trade.
coin flip for me in pts only ... take your fav player. I think they end up within a couple pts of each other the next couple years, flip flopping

Where would Drouin fit in with these 2?

I'd pick Arvidsson by a decent margin.
Drouin
Arvidsson
Saad

I've been looking into acquiring these guys for the league in my sig.Which Fs would you offer for either or?
Am hoping they both could be somewhat as a buy low. The trade to Chicago didn't really help that though
Based on Saad's pretty consistent production and Arvidsson's production last year, Arvidsson if you think he'll repeat otherwise Saad. Similar players, but Arvidsson will likely outproduce Saad slightly in most ways (10 to 40 SOG, handful of hits and blocks, 10'ish points).
Where would rantanen fit in these rankings? There is an offer on the table of my Saad for good rantanen straight up? I have been trying to get rantanen for awhile from him. Maybe giving Saad is too much though?

I could see Rantanen and Saad being very close point wise, but Saad is on the better team which will get more goals..
[FONT=trebuchet ms]
7 Partial Keeper (Keep 5 + 2 reserve spots) 12F (G,A=1) 6D (G,A=1.5) 2G (W=2,OTL=1,SO=1)
F: MacKinnon, Marner, Svechnikov, J.Hughes, Konecny, Ziba, Malkin, Kaprisov, Monahan, Reinhart, Tarasenko, Seguin (Hintz while IR)
D: Chabot, Q.Hughes, Barrie, Sergachev, Burns, Dobson
G: Price, Hellebuyck
Reserve: Kakko, Gusev
So the order would go
Drouin
Arvidsson
Saad
Rantanen?

I like Arvi for 65, Drouin and Saad in the 60s but I think Rabtanen has the potential to be closer to 65 than 60 though I'm sure a few will shoot me down for taking him over Drouin...
Experience is the teacher of all things.
I really like Arvidsson, but I would take Saad here. Saad will get the top linemates and top PP time with Chicago that he did not get in Columbus. The fact that Chicago gave up Panarin for him tells me they will be putting him on the ice with every opportunity to succeed in order to prove they made a good trade. Saad is going to have a massive break out year. I think a goal heavy 60-65 points will be his floor. His ceiling? Time will tell.
