    Default Ovechkin/Backstrom for Tavares/Benn?

    I was offered Ovechkin and Backstrom for my Tavares and Benn.
    20 team h2h keeper league.
    cats:G,A,PPG,PPA,SHG,SHA,GWG,SOG,+/-,PIM,FW

    It looks like a decent offer but Im reluctant to pull the trigger. I dont want to have the possibility of my star player heading to the khl, even if it is far fetched. And I like Tavares and Benn as players better. At the same time, having an Ovechkin Backstrom duo would be pretty great.

    Thoughts?

    JT and Benn for me. Not a Ovi fan, although he was great in my one year pool for me last year because we did not count +/- stats. Thank God.

    Too much risk with the Caps tandem. I'd prefer JT and Benn.

    I think we haven't seen Tavares or Benn reach their peak output yet, while at the same time the caps crew have probably topped out
    Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.
