I think Ekblad has a ceiling of around 40 points. With Yandle in Florida Ekblad really won't see the opportunity he needs to excel past that.
Ellis likely around the same or a tad more. Low 40's.
Do with that prediction what you will
$10 Ekblad
$5 Ellis
I'm in an 18 team roto keeper league, skater categories are as follows: G, A, +/-, PIMS, SOGS, HBs, Specialty pts (power play pts, short handed pts and GWG)
This is an auction league, I can keep either Ekblad at $10 or Ellis at $5.
Ekblad if he gets 40+ pts is probably more valuable all around given his higher PIMS but hard to pass up on a potential 50pt man for $5.
Is this the year Ekblad "breaks out" and finally tops 40pts?

Ekblad.
Florida is getting better and better and so is Ekblad.
The $5 won't make or break ya. I like Ekblad.
the difference is marginal.. spend the $5 elsewhere & keep Ellis
