    Question Traded Kucherov for Duchene - Thoughts?

    Hey guys, as you can probably see from my previous thread I just recently acquired Kucherov.

    I just flipped him for Duchene straight up.

    My thought process was this:
    Kucherov doesn't get a ton of minutes per game, sees 2nd PP time and even that doesn't seem to be guaranteed.
    Also, he has the highest PDO on the team among forwards at 103.9, has a high on-ice SH% at 11.78 and a pretty high individual SH% of 14.43.

    I know Duchene/Colorado hasn't been lighting it up this year, but the guy has a proven track record of scoring goals and putting up points. His advanced stats don't really say he's out of whack, but he's proven he can produce better.

    So, I figured: Kucherov regresses and puts up less points over the next 6 weeks leading into my fantasy playoffs where I'm hoping Duchene can start turning it around and out-produce him.

    Thoughts? Did I make a mistake by over analyzing?
    12 teams H2H points league. Non-keeper. Weekly lineup locks.
    6F, 4D, 1 UTIL and 2G active - 5 bench spots
    Maximum of 3 total goalies
    Forwards: G= 4, A = 2, +/- = 1, SHG = 2, SHA = 1, HAT = 1, PPP = 1
    Defense: G = 5, A = 3, +/- = 1, SHG = 3, SHA = 2, HAT = 1, PPP = 1
    Goalie: W = 3.5, L = -2, GA = -1, SV = 0.2, SO = 4

    Interesting. I see this is a 1 year with Playoffs obviously, do you think Duch is the better own in a keeper as well?

    I would personally take Duchene over Kucherov in a keeper league.
