next 3 years=Shattenkirk.
He's quickly becoming the staple of the avalanche defense, and is doing very good points wise. I'd pick him.
Shattenkirk
Ryan Whitney
Cats: G, A, Pts, +/-, PIM
Who's the better of the two to keep for the next three years?

CATs make it a lot closer. PIMs could change it all. I have never been a Whitney fan, but he's been impressive and that team should continue to get better (maybe without Whitney in three years). Shattenkirk has looked awesome for the twenty some games he's played, but he's ONLY played twenty some games. Three years. I'd risk it on Shatts based on ability and situation, it is close though.
