Carlson/Mantha for Ehlers/Seider

[red36]

Salary cap pool, straight pts. Forever keeper. Cap only counts one day a year, I’m in the B Division and should make it to the A regardless of this trade. Dmen count 75% salary

Carlson (6mil, 6mil, 6mil, 6mil) he counts 4.5mil per
Mantha (6.5mil, 6.5mil)

For

Ehlers (4.75mil, 6.5mil, 6.75mil)
Seider (832,500k x 2) counts 693,750k
3rd 2022 (I took Tarasov in the third last year, normally can get a similar prospect)

Which side do you guys prefer? Carlson has a beautiful contract but at the same time if Seider is the real deal he might be the best pt/salary D in the league

My team is below

McDavid
Schiefele
Lindholm
Norris (Lose him at years end, we have a FA system that makes everyone lose 2 per year)
W.Karlsson
Lundell

Ehlers
Gaudreau
Fiala
Rakell
Skinner
Johnsson

Kucherov
Reinhart
Pulj
Keller (lose at years end)
Kakko

Hughes
Dahlin
Girard
Suter
Seider
Boqvist

Ullmark
Shesterkin
Jarry
Kahkonen
Tarasov

I prefer the Seider/Ehlers side! Mantha always gets hurt and I'm not a big fan of his game. Ehlers is slightly frustrating under Paul Maurice but I love his points upside either way. It's pretty likely that Carlson starts to slow down the next few years while Seider is just getting started. Watching Seider's assist from yesterday is a great example of his impact on the game. Transitions it from Dzone into the Ozone effortlessly, then softly backhand sauces it over the defenders stick to Fabbri who gives it to Suter for a goal. I think he will get a lot of secondary assists for that reason, and then him quarterbacking pp1 is the cherry on top (okay maybe that's also a big part of it ). Ehlers/Seider is also a combined age of 45 whereas Carlson and Mantha is 58.

So yeah, give me Seider/Ehlers.
