Points only - ROS: Gost vs Klef

[Shift Disturber]

I own Gostisbehere and Klefbom is on the wire. I am holding for now as the Oilers don't play until Saturday. Gost had a couple of games in hand, but since he got injured (and, this season, why wouldn't he...?) I am revisiting the decision. Who do you like and why?

This is tough because both of them should have better totals but they don't. Is this points-only or roto? Klefbom shoots a lot more and his +/- is better so I guess it gives him an edge in roto. Points-only, I'd be leaning towards Ghost only because we know he can go on a tear because he's done it before while we're still waiting for Klefbom to do it.

I'll take Gost's down year over Kelf's normal year... every year. Easily Gost for me. All he needs is 10 hot games to leave klef in his dust for the whole season

I'm almost tempted to say Klef just for the rest of this season, assuming he gets the PP1 spot back when he returns and stays healthy the rest of the way. Never though I'd be considering that at all lol

I like Ghost long term hands down but he's got an uphill battle to turn this season around. Even before he got injured he lost his PP1 spot to a 5th forward and was playing like 15 minutes a night which is awful for a defenseman. He's obviously capable of much more but this whole season feels like a writeoff and Philly as a whole has been hot garbage. I want to be more optimistic about him (I own both Ghost and Klef and currently still plan on keeping Ghost) but I've been hoping all year he would pick it up and it never seems to happen. With only 30-ish games left he'd have to go on one hell of a run to restore some confidence in his owners.

Klefbom after Hitchcock came in was a different prospect. I had him for a while but traded recently. Prior to injury I was enjoying the uptick with good shot totals, blocks and exposure to McDavid
