    Default W. Karlsson/Borgstrom/W. Butcher - can only pick one (Will Rep)

    Hi guys - long time listener, first time caller . So I am in my keeper league draft and I have the next pick, possibly acquiring the next as well. Keeper league, points only. How do you rank these guys and are they close in value whatsoever? We have a 10 team league with 12F, 6D and 2G. I'm hoping to contend but either way I want this to be a long term decision.

    TLDR: I can only pick one of the three but might get two. How do you rank them?

    Thanks!

    Who are the players?
    Edit: duh, subject line haha

    I would take Karlsson first, Borgstrom second. And it's very close because Borgstrom has great upside and Karlsson overachieved. But I'd still take the sure thing

    A reply from the godfather of Fantasy hockey? Thanks Dobber! Picking Karlsson scares me. I just look at that roster and shake my head. Not sure how they are doing it.

    I would go Karlsson as well. Much more proven than Borg who we hope turns into a producer like Karlsson.

    You have to run with Karlsson. As much as he DID overachieve, I cannot see him regress to a sub 50 pts season at all. He is a talented hockey player that has a big role and will continue to play big offensive minutes for Vegas. Borgstrom - love that prospect, but at this moment that's really all he is: a prospect. Butcher - I need to see more of this guy.

    To me, it's an easy answer : Wild Bill.

    You have to go with Willie Karlsson here. He had such a phenomenal year and is the man in Vegas. While he and Vegas as a whole may regress, I don't expect a significant shift for Karlsson. Take him and be glad you did!

    Karlsson easily, then I take Butcher, then Borgstrom.

    Anyone know why Borgstrom isn't listen on Robbers consensus top 50 in his prospects report? He glows about him in the write-up. Maybe they forgot him?

    W. Karlsson - he's the guy you hope the others become, or maybe hope they exceed, but you get the idea.

    That top 50 list is limited to prospects that have not played in the NHL yet.
