    Default Hornqvist vs Gratchev

    In my points only keeper league, I have one more selection to make & I am hesitating between Hornqvist & NYR prospect Gratchev. Is Hornqvist for real? It seems like Gratchev is a good long term investment & maybe the time to get him is now before his stock goes way high? Which one to choose?

    Thanks!

    Take Grachev now and reap the rewards later. Hornqvist will outpoint him this year, maybe next, after that it's all Grachev.

    I always laugh at how people can get blinded by early season rushes. Hornqvist is a solid prospect, and he's finally gotten his chance at the NHL level. But he never was and never will be in Grachev's calibre.

    Go to Dobber's ramblings and click on Duthie's article.

    Conclusion: prior to the season Grachev was seen as the better prospect. Four games does not change that.

    Grachev is the man. Potential 85pt power winger. Don't be fooled!

    Now that's a tough one; Jamie Benn vs Gratchev??? They seem the same to me but does one have an edge over the other one?

    I love Hornqvist and look forward to seeing him put up nice numbers as a scoring winger if he can get top six minutes with the Preds. That being said, Grachev is 19 year old big body with skill that has people falling in love with him. There is a lot of young talent on the Blueshirts that Grachev is a part of and I look forward to seeing him try to make the big club. This season, I see Hornqvist getting more chance to shine but you gotta go Grachev long term.
