Who has the most longterm upside...

[gmegibben]

Nick Bjugstad or Anthony Mantha? I have Mantha in a dynasty league and was offered this. Thanks in advance.

Definitely go with Bjugstad here. Great sell-high on Mantha.

Yeah I would jump on that for sure. Bjugstad is already playing in the NHL and has actually done quite quite well in his first full season on a terrible Panthers team...he's on pace for about 35 pts which is great for a rookie. He's got great size, he works really hard, he's the kinda player you want to own going forward. Mantha is all hype right now and not even certain to make the NHL, I would go with the sure thing in Bjugstad

[Doug Glatt]

Mantha is owned by Detroit, who will let him marinate in juniors and the AHL until he is 23 or so. If you want something sooner go Bjugstad.

[ericdaoust]

I would say more than half of existing keeper leagues will fold before Mantha has a big year in the NHL. Time is important.

If you were offered Bjudstad for Mantha, I'd first trying countering Bjudstad plus a pick for Mantha. You might be able to squeeze a little more out...and it's definitely a good time to sell high on Mantha.

Yep, try this.

... and then in 3 yrs, when Mantha's new owner has become tired of waiting, buy him back at a fraction of the cost.

You should have said that he could buy him back for a penny! You can't miss these opportunities man...
