Panarin vs Eichel

[montreal_dan]

Hello Folks!

Just got offered his Panarin for my Eichel. I think these two will have very similar point totals this year. Do you all think Eichel goes nutty this year with a career year? He's shooting a ton to start the year and looks good. Does he outpoint Panarin?

Thanks for the feedback

Any feedback at all guys before the offer is taken off the table?

Eichel > Panarin this year and every year from now on, imo.

[montreal_dan]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm under the impression it will be too close to call but this trade is probably a wash

I would keep Eichel.

I take Eichel here... while it might be a photo finish - Eichel has the upside to blow this out.

Eichels upside is higher imo (over 100 points very possible at some point and possibly multiple times). The only thing that would sway me could be positional eligibility (if that's a thing in your league). But in a vacuum I like eichel with the higher ceiling.

[Robbie35]

Agree, Eichel especially in a 1 year (being this year) with Buffalo having a higher upside. Small sample size so far for Panarin in NY, but Eichel is playing monster minutes (Panarin not far behind) but as an Eichel owner I’m hoping for a big year.

Do positions matter in your setup?

[dejeanneret]

Yeah, positional requirements could tilt this. But all else being equal, THIS YEAR in a points only format I think I still favor Panarin slightly. In any sort of multi-cat setting, give me Eichel.

[Canucks_fan18]

Eichel I think has a little more upside but they both could be within a stones throw of each other. So I keep Eichel.

Do positions matter in your setup?

No positions do not matter. At the beginning of the year I had Panarin slightly ahead but Eichel's play so far makes me think they will be neck and neck. My only hesitation is that Panarin misses less games

i think you can do better than panarin for eichel ....if you really want to move him i would make it 2 for 2 and get an upgrade on gost
