Re: 2 vs 2 player comparison
If I can get Kucherov and either Stone of Tkachuk, I'm ready to ante up. Rantanen/Petterson would be 2nd for me. I'm not super high on Petterson but I think Rantanen is good enough (and RW) that Petterson can't possibly weigh him down that much. Barkov/Ehlers are 3rd for me, it's really close though. I like Barkov alot, if the league counted FOW that might put him over the top and I believe Ehlers could be great if Winnipeg would give him the minutes he deserves. That's the only thing that holds that one back from being the easy #2.
As far as Meier and Batherson goes; I really like Batherson, he's in a great spot, I'm a buyer if someone is selling. I like Meier as well but two things concern me, and neither involve his talent.
#1 SJ seems to be in a spot where it's not clear what direction they're going, but I would wager against "up" based on their last 3 seasons.
#2 They have alot of depth on the wing. As such Meier has a ton of competition for quality minutes.
