Hi all, Hamilton team in my sig. My league has blocks and hits for 0.6 points each so I'm pretty keen to bring in Groulx, however, vesy was once considered a very very good prospect and though he petered out a bit, he seems to be bringing his game back up towards the end of the season last year.
Who would you prefer here Kristian Vesalainen or Benoit-Oliver Groulx
Dynasty league. I'm leaning towards Groulx and trying to get him to add a pick or something?

31 TEAMS keep all multi-cat (lot of them) dynasty
Offensive stats : Goals, Assist , PPP, PPTOI, SOG...
Defensive stats : PKTOI, BLKS, TakeAway, Giveaway...
(basically best NHL player)
I've seen plenty of BOG in Halifax to know he's a bottom six guy in the NHL. He just doesn't have the scoring upside to push him into a top six role.
I prefer Vesalainen and his offensive upside here.

Vesa here too. He could still develop into a power forward
Thanks guys, sometimes you just need a 2nd opinion to know you're definitely wrong haha, will keep Vesa for now.

In Halifax, he was a rock solid FOW guy (for Jr hockey mind you) and played an excellent two-way game. Solid shutdown guy but also got plenty of PP time which pumped his offensive stats. He has some grit to his game and isn't afraid to throw the body around. Very good forechecker in the offensive zone and likes to throw the body around.
Hard to say on the block category. That will depend on the coach and what he expects from his players. A coach like Torts expects his players to block shots, where are a lot of other coaches dont want their forwards blocking shots. Cant say much there. I cant say I can remember much about him blocking shots in Halifax but to be honest, I dont pay much attention to blocked shots while watching the games.
To answer stevegamers question, I'd say he's worth rostering in deep multicat leagues. I'd say he's scrappy enough, assuming he makes the NHL of course. Thats still TBD.
