Reply With QuoteFF is a bit more physical but i think offensive upside of Ehlers is higher so i would pick him by slight margin. Other thing to consider is that Ehlers has much more talented offensive teammates which can be both positive and negative.
F. Forsberg vs. N. Ehlers
Which guy would you take in a keeper?
League cats include hits and blocks, but no PIMS.

Re: F. Forsberg vs. N. Ehlers
Forsberg for me as well. 30 goals and 60 points like clock work. I think Nashvilles top line breaks out this year early and he could go north of 70. He started really slow last season, if that line gets going early, and I think it will, watch out.

Forsberg. One year here he will be consistent all year without his cold streaks and pop off for over 70 points and that year is this year.

Re: F. Forsberg vs. N. Ehlers
Geez - tough one. I feel like Forsberg will be Tarasenko-lite, and settle at 70 points, tops. Meanwhile, Ehlers has a shot to be an 85 point guy down the road. Forsberg is certainly the safer pick and I can see why he'd be the one most people opt for, but I think Ehlers squeaks ahead for me even with those categories.

Re: F. Forsberg vs. N. Ehlers
If your league valued goals more I'd say Forsberg but straight points I don't think you can really go wrong either way.
I would pick Ehlers because he and Forsberg are pretty even on points right now and Forsberg has the better position. Ehlers is not yet on the WPG PP1 unit whereas Forsberg is in the best position he is going to have on Nashville.
Ehlers with the slight upside

Forsberg for sure...
But as an Ehlers owner, I enjoy seeing him discussed in the same conversation as FF

Re: F. Forsberg vs. N. Ehlers
Forsberg because he's a top dog on a solid team whereas WPG is still figuring out how to roll their talented forwards.
Ehlers might have a bit more upside though but I'll play it safe.

Re: F. Forsberg vs. N. Ehlers
Forsberg for me.
I think he is more entrenched in his future line 1/PP1 role for NAS.
While I love Ehlers, you've got Wheeler, Scheifele, Laine there.
They could run a 4F1D powerplay with those four + D (Buff or Trouba)...
But there's no lock that Ehlers is the Scheifele line winger.
That's why I'd hedge towards Forsberg, I don't see anybody displacing him from top line within near future.
I think Forsberg is a future 70-80pt player, with 65% certainty. (60-70 with 80% certainty)
I think Ehlers is a future 70-80pt player, with 50% certainty. (60-70 with 80% certainty)
