I took Tarasenko. Kreider looked great last season in the playoffs but really has struggles out of the gate this year. Tarasenko flew out of the gate this year and has slowed down but I still say long term he's the better fantasy option.
Vladimir Tarasenko
Chris Kreider
UH OH! It's the second week of the Cage Match Rookie Tournament!
If you missed Week One, don't fret you can still vote here. Hopefully you know the drill with these but just in case let's brake it down. Each week there will be four matchups for you to choose a winner. The winner moves on to the next round. The last player standing is the top rookie.
The criteria for you to vote on are simple:
- No goalies
- No defensemen
- No positions
- Points only keeper league with one caveat - Don't be a perpetually rebuilding knucklehead. No one has ever won a fantasy league with just potential so value this season ABSOLUTELY matters.
Vote your hearts out!
#1 Huberdeau vs. #8 Foligno
#3 Brunner vs. #6 Silfverberg
#4 Conacher vs. #5 Gallagher

kevinsrangers and maybe the other odd Rags fans should be the only ones to pick Kreider here. I wasn't sold on him after last years playoffs and was glad to see other teams waste their draft picks on him in my leagues this year. He's a decent player, but the hype was way too high for the kid.
Speaking of hype... Haaaaaaaaavvvvvveeee you met Vlad?
Without me, it's only "aweso".
Vladimir Tarasenko for me boss.

Tarasenko by a good margin. Although a possible concussion is not a good thing seeing as he already suffered one in the KHL earlier this season.

Kreider got dealt some bad cards.
Yeah this was easy too. Can we get something more difficult? Like John Scott vs Log.
