A. Larsson v N. Zadorov

[Hunter9]

Not the most exciting names, but curious who you would take.

G/A/Pts/PIM/SOG/PPP/H+B

My original thought was Larsson as he is more established and an absolute H+B machine (5.9/game). But taking a closer look at Z, he is outscoring, taking more penalties and is still producing 4.5H+B/Game.

After looking at stat totals, Zadorov sounds like the right keep, but his deployment is much more tenuous...

Is this just a keeper question? If so, shop them around and keep the one you can't get a decent return for.
Gun to my head I go with Larsson for reliability, but it's close enough that I wouldn't really care too much who I kept. Just optimize the situation and see if you can get an asset back.

This is excellent advice. When it's this close, put them both out there and take the best return.

Thanks guys, looks like I need to spread some rep around. Guess same responders to most of my questions

Of the two Zadorov has the most upside but he's also not as well established as Larsson. I agree with trading one and keeping the other.

Larsson is a top pairing dman. Zadorov might be a 3rd pairing guy or even a #7 dman next season. I would much rather have Larsson in your format.
