    Ya that's a tuff one … they are similar players , Keller more opportunity on a shittier team , Thomas less opportunity on a better team... I feel like the Tarasenko injury tho opens the door a hair for Thomas and he had a solid 2nd half if im not mistaken... So im going Thomas Short term , Keller long term, Arizona is just a black hole for now

    I prefer Keller, but who are you dropping in addition to Holtby from the bolded? Might keep them both.

    i was actually planning on trying to keep 3 goalies or trade one of them perhaps. shesterkin, blackwood, and holtby.
    the goalies in this pool tend to have high value, as people draft starters very quick. im going to try my best to keep keller
    and i think thomas could be redrafted next year. FWIW i also have picks 5 OA and 10th OA.

    Given that, I'd try and deal Holtby to keep both of them - you might find a similar producing goalie in round 2-3 to Holtby.

    Well...let’s actually look at the numbers. Last season Keller had and IPP of 80 and a pts per 60 of 2.3. All while sporting a 5on5 S% of 6.8. Thomas had an IPP around 75, pts per 60 of 2.6, but a 5on5 S% of 10.4. If Keller moves back towards the norm as he easily should and Thomas is able to maintain it Keller, in this short season, will end up with about 5 points and probably more than Thomas. Keller is 37 games past his 200 game breakout threshold. Thomas still has 70 games to go to get there. Depending on role, eventually Thomas might be the better play. But not this year and probably not next year either. Keller is your keep.

    The funny thing is that this tread is 2 months old and I realize that I did recommend Keller at that time.

    So I did what I though was right and accepted the offer.

    Thanks all

    I like both players but for me Keller is a slight tier above. Maybe in a few years Thomas surpasses.
