    Cap league?
    Either way I probably give a slight edge to EP.

    I think Pettersson and Dahlin are able equal in terms of production, upside, and salary for their respective positions. To me, it will come down to positional needs/scarcity. If you need a dman more than a forward/center, then I'd go with Dahlin (and vice versa).

    That said, if you don't have a positional scarcity/need, I'd opt for the forward because I find dmen, even the best in the league, to be more inconsistent from year-to-year. Even if the dmen are elite, I feel they are more dependent on overall team production/performance than forwards.

    Give me EP. I think he'll be more valuable in fantasy as a forward consistently producing PPG+ seasons.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    In a 24 team league where 6 D are started vs 3C, it makes sense to be leaning toward they guy recently referred to as the next Karlsson. I do think Dahlin is more valuable at his position than EP is at C. That said EP has looked fantastic (albeit a bit fragile).

    I think this deal is extremely close and comes down to what position you need to strengthen most.

    Eager to see how this shakes out!

    Great assessment here. Agree 100%.

    Six of one, half dozen of the other. I'd be trying to find the solution that gets both onto your squad without having to swap one for the other.

    I ended up trading EP40 and Atkinson for #Rasmoose Dahlin and William Karlsson in the WHL.

    #moosedontregret
    So #moosemovement this off season kinda looks like

    Out:
    McDavid, EP40, Atkinson, 2x2019 2nd round redrafts

    In:
    Forsberg, Dahlin, W.Karlsson, C.White and Konecny

    Interesting to see how that impacts the #moostandings this year.

    I'd call it very close.
    It's all about possible upside.

    In WHL, the in-season waiver-players will be about:
    Forwards: 25pt forward (40.0 fp/yr)
    Defense: 18pt defender (30.0 fp/yr)

    Everything is about relative difference and contract.
    If Pettersson becomes a 120.0 fp player... and Dahlin is 100.0 fp player... then EP40 is the better side.
    But if Pettersson becomes a 110.0fp player... and Dahlin is 110.0fp player... then, by relative difference, Dahlin wins.

    There's also contract in play.
    Typically, defenders get extra $$$ for simply "defending" - a stat that doesn't translate in most fantasy platforms.
    That makes defenders the harder player to get value from in fantasy hockey.

    But, with 4F:1D PP units being most common these days, it puts a premium on defenders, since that 4:1 ratio doesn't translate to a 12F:6D roster allocation.

    It really is a long-way of saying that there are positives and negatives to both players.
    Comparing Forwards to Defense is really, really, REALLY, tough to do.

    I think it's razor-thin... so it is mostly a position preference for both teams.
    FUN TRADE for the league. Those Moose and Voodoo know how to move big assets! FUN!

    looking at your team i would probably do it, EP will get more points but your D is weak past first 2. I like that deal for you.

    As others have said this deal is VERY close. I also agree it comes down to positional needs for both GMs. Either way, a good trade for both.

    I'll go with the EP side by the thinest of margins.
