    Eberle / Letang side.

    Letang is gold on PPP heavy formats and Eberle will get more goals than Backstrom. I am also intrigued to see how Edmonton's PP1 shapes up. So in a goal heavy / PPP heavy league I personally like Eberle and Letang better.

    Even without knowing the stats, I would also take the Backstrom side. Backstrom is just more proven. Letang will outpoint Subban most seasons, but not by a wide margin......

    Eberle is my favorite player in the NHL. so I'm definitely not sayin this wih any bias.

    I'd really need to see all the stats your league uses before making a decision on this one.

    No cats. Pts only. 2pts, g, 2pts dg, ppp, shg, gwg.

    at worst, I break even imo. I could lose this deal,but imo, backsteom is a top 10 Player.

    L'étang is better than pk, but nit considerably.

    Are there assists? or straight goals?

    I prefer Backstrom/PK only because there's more of a known factor with Backstrom, he's usually right around the 20-25 goal mark, but could push 30... PK is around the 10 mark give or take but could be up towards 15...

    Eberle had a very good year last year, but is also shot a crazy 18.9% as well, so that might be a feat harder to repeat from a year to year basis. If he regresses back to 15%, he's dropping about 7 goals... Letang is pretty consistent at posting around 10 goals per season, but I dunno if there's a lot of room for much more.

    Either way both sides is pretty even, you won't gain a huge edge with one side over the other... Backstrom is a bit safer but if Eberle/Letang can keep up their elevated rates, they could have a higher upside.

    If Ovie doesn't return to superstar ways, then backstrom is an 80 point player.I think Eberle can do just as much, but with more goals especially on the PP. I don't think it's a trade that will kill you, but I'd try to squeeze more out of him.

    The Eberle and Letang side wins this deal IMO.

    As much as I like Backstrom (this coming from an Oilers fan) and think he's a better scoring option then Eberle, the gap between Letang and PK is just too great for me to take the Backstom/Subban side.

    Is it goals only? If so, I take Eberle/Letang. And Morm makes a good point about Backstrom's production if Ovie doesn't bounce back. The difference then between Backstrom/Eberle is not that great. Letang will outproduce PK.

    Backstrom is the best player, but i'd take Ebs and Letang. 1) The difference between Ebs and Backstrom in avg will be 10pts in favor of Backstrom, but you'll get more apples in a goal heavy league. Letang will likely get PK by 20pts consistently. 2) The Ebs/Letang side clearly has the better supporting cast and will likely be cup-contenders for years to come.

    I can see Ebs @ 75pts - ppg < Backstrom @ ppg - 95pts
    Letang @ 60 - 70pts, could hit 75 if healthy > Subban @ 40 - 50pts, may flirt with 60.
