... i like me some Klingberg. glad i scooped him off the wire after he was dropped after his insane hot start cooled.
2 months later:
Klingberg - 20 points in 34 games for a 0.59 PPG pace or 48 points over 82 games
Vatanen - 30 points in 49 games for a 0.61 PPG pace or 50 points over 82 games
Since this discussion (the start of December):
Klingberg - 12 points in 24 games
Vatanen - 11 points in 24 games
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

I was reading this yesterday and was going to tell people not sleep on Klingberg, but didn't want to come across as a homer because he is on my team. But dude has been something else. I don't care what imperfections he has that people want to nitpick. The guys is young and is showing something. 2G, 2A tonight.
I'll still roll with Vatanen..
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"

Don't let my bias of being a Ducks fan sway you, but I'd take Vatanen based on his production thus far and his position in the lineup around him.
just traded Vatanen in league in Sig . It was Vatanen and Malkin for Giroux and Voracek .
He wanted Josi but I was more comfortable letting Vatanen go . Most of his production comes on pp . That's risky for me . He goes cold on pp( like these days) and trouble can hapoen in a heart beat .
I would roll the dice on Klingberg .

I will go with Vatanen, Dallas is going nowhere this season. Safer pick with a great team.

Klingberg for sure. Vatanen is good, but he doesn't has the offensive upside of the Stars and Klingbergs offensive prowess.

How things have changed ... lol
Oh man. It took me all the way until the end of this thread to realize the evil bump. I'm sitting here reading this thinking "are all these people nuts?" Literally 0 people would take Vatanen over Klingberg right now.
Rep to VincentVega for sticking with it.
