It is an 18 player keeper league. I m stacked at RW and have nothing at the center position. I hate giving up Rantanen but is the difference between Rantanen/Barzal much?

Interesting. I say Rantanen > Barzal, but small margin indeed, so it really depends on many things.

1. multi category? although Rant-Barzal difference here isn't big either;
2. how many teams? I always look at such offers as Barzal + Dubois for Rantanen + replacement player. And personally I almost never trade away the best player, which is Rantanen. In fact I absolutely love 2-for-1 trade for myself to gain an extra spot for another bet.

14 teams, 24 players plus 5IR, 5IR+, 5NA spots. 18 keepers carried over. Pretty much all categories. The free agency pool is thin. The top rostered player in FA is 7%.

I also tend to never trade away the best player in a deal but most of my leagues we have 5 or 6 keepers so its a bit different.

I don't see a big gap between these two but wondering if Dubois makes it worth losing a bit on the top end.

In that case, 24 x 14 players, I say go for Barzal + Dubois. Dubois is quite a few tiers above replacement, especially with both hits and blocks counted.
