    Default Laine v Rantanen

    How do you see these two lining up in CAT leagues?

    I have Rantanen but thinking of making a move for Laine. Rantanen is having a down year but I think they are fairly similar.

    Thoughts?

    In my opinion Rantanen isn't having a down year. He is averaging a point per game and that was after going through a mini slump. I think Laine and Rantanen may be similar, but when it comes to who gets the edge I tend to give it to the player who has already done it and that would be Rantanen. Laine is great but until he puts up a close to a 90 point season I reserve the right of calling him elite.

    I read your post again and noticed it said CAT leagues, I'm assuming you mean banger leagues? If that's the case I'd give Laine the major edge, since Rantanen doesnt get those periphs.

    It will depend a bit on what CAT league means, but for the most part, I'm probably going to take Rantanen by a solid margin.

    Sorry all.. yes... a banger league.

    So.. i didn't get Laine but i flipped Rantanen for Marner. I think Marner has the higher upside moving forward.

    Could be a coin flip but I'm happy with my decision. Feedback?

    Anticipating other follow up questions asking for clarification, it's recommended that you list the categories as well; otherwise we are just assuming what that means. Also, even if there are multiple categories, we don't know if it's roto, H2H etc. The more details, the better.

    Just wanted to make that recommendation. Good luck.

    Again, without really knowing the categories or setup, it's likely still Marner by a solid margin here.

    You lucked out here moving from losing with Laine to winning with Marner.

    Steal for you getting Marner for Ranty. This is a 'what was the other guy thinking?' deal.
