    Default Which duo?

    For the categories in the sig.

    Tavares and nyquist

    Or

    Backstrom and Voracek.

    I know Tavares > backstrom and Voracek > nyquist. Is this purely a take the better player? Or is it even?

    I think I'd stick with Backstrom and Voracek.

    Tavares is awesome, but the difference between him and Backstrom isn't as much as the distance between Voracek and Nyquist. I just feel your RW would suffer a big hit going from Voracek to Nyquist and although your Centers would be improved, you are already quite deep at that position.

    I lean the backstrom/vora side... the dip to Nyquist is just too much for me

    If you took Tavares, how well/easily do you think you could upgrade on Nyqvist?

    Not the one with Nyquist - he's my pick for what will turn out to be the worst UFA signing

    If you can replace Nyquist easily, you get the best player in the deal with Tavares by a fair margin IMO. If Nyquist will need to be rostered however, I would stick with Backstrom and Voracek.
