I prefer Backstrom unless you are in rebuild mode in a keeper league.
Thoughts on this in a straight points keeper league? Both guys currently slumping but bound to pick it up. Backstrom of course a proven high quality center while Ehlers is still young and finding his game.

I prefer Backstrom unless you are in rebuild mode in a keeper league.
No rebuild, it's the first year of our league. Currently in third and recently acquired Laine who is obviously a keeper and the better of the two Jets forwards. I'm pretty deep on wing and will already have some tough choices at the end of the year even with a keep-10.
If you are win this year mode, then the 30 year old Backstrom. Otherwise, the 21 year old Ehlers.

This is a move for this year, with the hope of getting a strong second half from the historically consistent Backstrom (consistency being important in a Weekly Matchup league) and replacing Ehlers as a keeper with one of my other promising young wingers who could break out this year like Mantha or Aho. And if Backstrom goes on a tear the second half of the season I can always just keep him too.
