    Default Connor or Klingberg

    Points only, need 12 F and 6 D.

    Connor is 7.2 ish million
    Klingberg is 4.25

    I want to keep Connor but defensemen who actually score decent points are rare and especially for that pricetag. I'm leaning Klingberg.
    Any thoughts?

    Yeah, to get a thoughtful answer from the forum, the rest of your team info will only make opinions MORE thoughtful. But that said, if your lowest trade or drop for Klingberg is KYLE CONNOR??? Then you’ve got either a damn good team, or a greedy trading partner.

    Connor: Younger, 30 goals + nearly guaranteed, offensively-driven team, only going to stay same or get better.
    Klingberg: Has Heiskanen on his heels, defense-first system, will only be same or see stats gradually decline.
    Money: My opinion (Connor not overpaid, 6 more years stable $$), but again, no info on your cap space...

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Hey, thanks for the reply, great points.
    So I'm in a limited keeper where we can only keep 8 players. There are only ten teams, therefore the top 80 players get kept. So very good players are getting dropped every off-season. That's why a guy like Connor is borderline. And yes I have a pretty good team.
    In terms of cap, I can work around anything. I prefer to just evaluate these players in kind of a bubble. I think they're both pretty good value.
    As you mentioned, Connor is on a good contract for quite a while so he has good cost certainty.
    I think a guy like Connor will go within the top 3 rounds in our draft. Great scorer around the 7 million mark is very good. Most scorers around his level are more like 9 or 10 million.
    However, Klingberg's contract is also VERY cheap for a scoring d-man. He definitely has some warts, he had a pretty bad season by his standards last year, Dallas has another capable (probably better) D-man in Heiskanen.

    I think that Klingberg is better value relative to D than Connor is to F.

    I do think, however, that Connor is great value, so if you're looking at it "in a bubble", if both players are available at my turn in the draft, I'm taking Connor every time.

    I would take Klinger. Last year was an anomaly. It is close but I think there is more value to be had with Klingberg.

    I'd still want Connor. I just don't see Klingberg being as good with Heiskanen there.

    I would hazard to estimate that Klingers floor is about 45 points over an 82 game season with the possibility of 55+. Heiskanen or no Heiskanen. For 4.25 million dollars you are getting pretty damn good value. Meh, but that is just my two bits.

    I gave up on Klingberg. He is soooo bad defensively that I have a hard time seeing a coach giving him 1 duo minutes... He has Miro, Esa that are better than him. I know he can play PP1, but I would be suprise if they put Miro and Seguin at the point. So IMO, I would go with Connor.
