I say Marchand. Hall is all over the place due to injuries. He had to play the most miraculous hockey ever last year to compare to Marchand who's situation does half the work for him.
Better option for keeper in points only format?

Marchand
Marchand has been the more consistent bet; Hall probably has higher point ceilings each year but has more of an injury concern. I'd prefer Marchand for next few years though and has better supporting cast.

IR: Byfuglien, Pastrnak, Karlsson
Normally I'd go Hall due to younger age and more pure talent; but with Marchand and Bergeron looking like they're poised to play great for the foreseeable future, plus Pasta to complement them, it might just have to be the little ball of hate.
