Keep Saad or Nyquist

[Bluejaka]

Looking long term at these 2 players in H2H full dynasty salary cap league. Goals, Assists, PPG,PPA, SHP, +/-, Pims, Hits, Shots, FOW are the stat catagories.

Two good young players with significant upside with both on good teams. I believe contractually they will also sign similar dollar deals as well.

What do you see out of these two players long term and which player would you value higher?

Thanks in advance

Nyquist

I would go with Nyquist for many reasons.

1. Saad is more dependent on what line-mates he is skating with thus making his value volatile
2. Nyquist has more trade/name value
3. Nyquist has more positional flexibility
4. Nyquist will have a much better opportunity down the road of becoming a FOW contributor
5. Nyquist is honestly just better.

Saad's corsi rating is usually #1 on the hawks per the tweets I get.
Saad is 22 Nyquist is 25.
Saad has LW/RW while Nyquist carries all 3. (Not that big of a difference)
Saad plays with Toews line while Nyquist plays with Zetterberg

Nyquist is better with the puck on his stick while Saad is great at grinding. Saad will be on Toews wing for a long time. Push comes to shove I take Nyquist bc eventually he will be the man and we saw what he did in 1/2 a season last year. Put the team on his back Marshawn Lynch style.

Who's marshawn Lynch?

Well, here's hoping that Nyquist goes all "Beast-Mode" for me for the remainder of the season...

Nyquist. I just think the upside trumps here when you have two comparable players. Going with saad wouldn't be gorrible , but I'd bet on Nyquist

6. Nyquist is on more highlight reel plays, which also increases his trade value/visibility. Seeing your player regularly in the highlights package is always special.
