Meier or Bjorkstrand
Keeper pool. Points only.
Who do you prefer? Better upside next couple years?

Re: Meier or Bjorkstrand
Lots of hype for Bjorkstrand in the past few months, and it's warranted imo.
But Meier has 66 points season under his belt and he's only 24 years old. There's a rebound coming.
He's the safer choice.
Points-only keeper league. 12 teams. Keep any 12 players. Dress 12F - 6D - 2G.

Re: Meier or Bjorkstrand
Bjorkstrand for me. It's close. DuBois and his place on the depth chart are why I'd go Bjorkstrand.

Re: Meier or Bjorkstrand
Another Bjorkstrand vote. Very close in points only though.
Re: Meier or Bjorkstrand
Columbus lost a good winger (anderson) and gained a good center (domi). If anything, that offers a potential bump to bjorkstrand.
Bjorkstrand has a better chance for pp1 time.
Meier has 1st round pedigree, bjorkstrand 3rd round.
I own both and i'm debating either for my 9th or 10th keeper spot.
Having seen meier play, i think he is less of a line driver (not that bjorkstrand is a great one) and more dependent upon picking up tips and empty pucks around the net. I think his 30g 36a season is close to his ceiling, where bjorkstrand still has the point per game allure in my opinion.
It's close but i'm choosing bjorkstrand.
Re: Meier or Bjorkstrand
Wow thank you, I really appreciate your analysis...
Re: Meier or Bjorkstrand
They both have similar ceilings imo of ~85 points, with Bjorkstrand a bit more likely to get there (something like 30% vs 20%). However Meier has the much higher floor. As such I think I'd have to lean Meier here.
