Hey Dobber Nation,
What is your overall feeling on trading EP40 for Rasmus Dahlin in a points only league.? 24 team; start 6 D
Interested in hearing your thoughts..

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!
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.

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.
