    Default Bennett or Atkinson?

    Who do I want locked in long term at a dirt cheap salary (in my league, not real life salary)? This year's production is important too, but less so than long term. For now either one would be at the end of my bench and starting only when there isn't a better option available.

    Cats: G, A, SOG, PIM, Hit, Blk, STP, +/-

    Neither?

    At this point, I trust Atkinson more. He's actually achieved something.

    yeah, I gotta go Atkinson.... Bennett is barely above 1 SOG/gm... on pace for?? 36pts again. pass.. even in a down year, Atkinson should give you 50.

    Hmm. I guess Bennett's 7 pts in last 6 games made me hopeful that he is turning a corner. Atkinson's 3 pts in last 9 games with much more favorable usage than Bennett is super frustrating.

    267 SOG pace for a full season over his last 8 games, though.

    I can't help looking at small sample sizes and being tempted to project them going forward. lol

    did you look at the similar sample size prior to those last 8 games?

    If this was his sudden breakout that would be irrelevant

    Alas, it probably is not his breakout. Oh well.

    I am a stubborn little bugger, so I went with Bennett despite it being the unanimous unpopular choice. lol

    So far I am not regretting it. The day I made the switch Cam got 9 min TOI, and the next game he was a healthy scratch.

    Hopefully Bennett keeps producing, but if not it is no big deal... either one is at the end of my bench and very replaceable.

    Thanks for the input everyone.
