In a cap league, Athanasiou by a landslide. Lee isn't horribly priced, but Athanasiou is a bargain deal this year, and should still be significantly cheaper on his next contract.
What player would you choose in the multicat salary keeper league in my signature?
Anders Lee or Andreas Athanasiou?
I like Athanasiou because of the current cap hit and he is 5 years younger. I think they might be a wash points wise, with Athanasiou maybe having the higher ceiling moving forward? Lee gets some hits, so more valuable in multicat in that regard.
Opinions?

I like Athanasiou more based on production per cap hit. Signifcant cap savings this year, plus I don't expect him to re-up next year for what Lee is making.
In a cap league, Athanasiou for me

Athanasiou for sure for me. I like what he did last year, his cap is friendly and there’s a strong chance he can improve on his numbers

NOTES: We can only send players down if they get injured, otherwise they pass through waivers and we lose them for nothing + we have to pay half their cap.
Anders Lee doesn't have a great contract, and I think Athanasiou probably has a bit more upside. Lee's realistic ceiling is about 60 points with strong peripherals (200 shots / 100 hits). Athanasiou could conceivably end up providing more offense for a cap hit less than 1/2 that of Lee. And barring an absolutely earth-shattering type of breakout, Athanasiou's next contract should be a nice discount over Lee, as well.

Athanasiou makes more sense here, especially with Lee's new contract. Like explained above the production vs cap hit is the deal breaker (without salary I would take Lee).

I'll take AA to just outpoint Lee straight up this coming season. Add in the difference in cap hits and I'm looking for cheap hits on the wire because it's AA by a landslide
