2011 entry draft- my stats?

[newper114]

Ok guys sorry to do this as there are a ton of these posts but I have 2nd overall and in my league format I just don't know who to take.
10 team h2h salary cap league:
Stats: g(4), a(2.5), pim(.25), shp(7), sog(.15), hits(.4) blks(.6) ppp(1)
Play: 3f,3c,3lw,3rw,1util,5d

I don't think I will use this player this yr bc of tight cap but an option for this yr never hurts. Who do I take: guessing it's between hub and LAN. But maybe not looking to best fit format. Also not sure to go center or winger

My team:
C-malkin, Tavares, krejci, Roy, a.stewart, bolland
LW-ovechkin, hall, cammy, Booth, larose
Rw-kessel, backes, Horton, gionta, hejduk
D-babchuk, goligoski, rundbald, karlsson, wiznewski, robidas
G-kipper, Thomas, s.mason and rask on farm to use when needed

So guys help me out. Plus thoughts on my team are always welcomed

Please need to make my pick soon

Landeskog.

While he doesn't have quite as high upside as Huberdeau does, Landeskog will produce in NHL right away and that's a huge boost for his trade value. Landeskog will get top-6 minutes and fights for the Calder this year. Long-term he'll either play with Duchene or Stastny so you know he has great C to play with. He's a physical player so expect a lot of hits from him. Overall he has potential to be a multi-cat beast in your league set up.

Anyone else gotta make my pick very sooN

Lando for me too. Huberdeau has a higher upside but with Florida it is always a question of whether or not he will reach it. Landeskog is basically a lock to play in the nhl next season and most likely on a line with an elite center. Great intangibles, hard worker, nose for the net. I think he has a very long and successful career in the nhl.

I disagree with the rest of the posters.

ALWAYS pick the player with the higher upside.

Huberdeau for me.

Huberdeau for me.

I would agree with this. It's a gamble since Lando looks to be all but a lock for a good NHL career in some capacity, but the 90 point upside for Hubs is just too much to pass up imo. The gripe about Florida's prospect development problems are outdated it's a totally different regime in charge there.

Lando will be a useful player and could hit 30+ goals a few times in his career, but if you don't need a player to help you this year, there's no reason to not take Huberdeau.

I'd take Huberdeau, too. Florida might have had trouble in the past with developing prospects, but they have Dale Tallon running things there and he deserves a lot of the credit for making the blackhawks what they are today. He will turn things around in Florida, and Huberdeau should develop nicely there. I don't think you can go wrong either, but I'd take Huberdeau!

Good luck newper!

Tough decision. Some of those stats are difficult to gaurantee (SHP, +/-, BLKs, SOG, etc.) however I feel as though Landeskog might be able to cover the SHP, HITS, BLKS better than Huberdeau. If you ABSOLUTELY need help in those cats then take Huberdeau but realize that you could be talking about a 25-30 point difference in points in a few years.

Huberdeau projects to be more of a shooter than Landeskog (slightly) so he should have the edge in goals (which seem extremely valueable in your league) and SOG

I like the upside of Huberdeau here.
