Pageau vs Beauvillier

[RenegadeGM]

Who would you rather have rest of season in a one-year H2H league?

Pageau is C eligible only, Beavillier has C/LW eligibility. Both are probably over their heads according to advanced stats (especially Pageau), but is one more likely to keep up the pace than the other?

Categories: G, A, Plus/Minus, PIMs, Shots, Hits, Blocks, PP Goals, PP Points

Thanks in advance!

At this point, I'd have to say Pageau. Everyone is waiting for him to slow down, and he just keeps impressing everyone.

Well...
It sort of depends.

If pure scoring (G, A, PPG, PPP) is desired, I say Beauvillier. He's just (easily) the more talented, better scorer.
But... Pageau is a "sweat"... a grinder, he'll give you scoring on a stripped down OTT team... and he gives HIT... and BLK (!!!) super-rare for a forward.
Pageau... he's playing for the contract that secures him for LIFE.

Pageau is UFA in 2020. If he keeps up his play, he's probably going to get a 6x$5m offer to be C3 from some team!
So his extra-gear motivation will be super high ALL.YEAR.


All that said... I think Beauvillier is just the better overall player.
He has sneaky good stats... 16pts in 20gp.
And he's been especially fantastic in last 4gp: 2g, 2g, 1g/1a, 1g/1a.... playing 19-21min/night.

Give me Beauvillier here, especially with that C/LW status.
He's the best winger on the Islanders and it won't surprise me if he finishes with 70+pts.

I like Beauvillier by a little bit, due to the multiple position eligibility, and I think think he's more talented. He's not as gritty as Pageau, but he's not a total lightweight either in those categories.

Beau went cold for around a week or so when the flu was making its rounds but has bounced back nicely . Trotz loves him and I think having a veteran french canadian on the team in Brassard has helped him on and off the ice .

Pageau in multi-cat.

Boy this is tough. I also think Beauvillier is the more talented player but ya gotta ride the Pageau wave here I think in a one year multi cat.

I'll take the Boov.

If this is a "which of these two guys do I cut?" question, the answer might be "Neither of these two, but player X." So if this is that sort of question, your whole roster will help.
