Considering Kaprizov is a few years younger and was the best player outside of the NHL heading into this season, I'll pick him. Forsberg is a great player, but for Canucks Kaprizov would certainly fit our timeline better due to age and being cheaper as of right now

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

C’mon. At least let the kid play like 15 games before making this.

You shoukd probably clarify you mean filip forsberg right now vs peter career.

 

[MuckOG]

I chose Kaprizov based on a choice between him and Filip Forsberg.....not Peter.

Filip is a great player, I just think that Kaprizov's ceiling is higher.

 

[Sasso09]

Hard to Pick Kaprizov over a kid like Forsberg when he's played no NHL games yet..... I wouldn't be shocked if Kap ended up better but I can't pick him atm

 

[Dr Salt]

Kaprizov suits Chicago more being he's a lot younger.

Funny poll, funnier results

I mean, i don't really need to know which Forsberg we're talking about here between Filip or Peter. It's either of them pretty easily...

What if it's Anton?

 

[Flamesfan62]

What if it's Anton?

Then you gotta go with Anton, if you just look at it from the waiver wire perspective.

I have Filip Forsberg in my dynasty league and I would trade him for Kaprizov without hesitation. However, there is no way the Kaprizov owner would even entertain the idea.

Obviously fantasy and real life are different things, but I think I feel the same way about real life. If Blackhawks could have one I’d roll the dice on Kaprizov’s high upside.

Welcome to the world of having a good young player.

Prepare to see Kaprizov vs:

• EP
• Suzuki
• PLD
• Matthews
• Eichel
• Jesus Christ
• Random player from another era
• McDavid (oops, listed him twice )
• Drai
• etc.

Forsberg. Kaprizov is getting overrated

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Forsberg is leading the league in goals

 

[Evincar]

Forsberg is leading the league in goals

With 3 lol...

 

[joe dirte]

With 3 lol...

Bobby ryan and travis konecny have 4 now.

Guessing Kaprizov will finish his first season in the league with a higher ppg than Forsberg's best season yet.

So he’ll finish over PPG essentially?

If they switched places, Forsberg would be the best player outside the NHL too.

Weird poll. Forsberg is a good player but you take the guy on his ELC.

Kaprizov will be an RFA after the season though.

Kaprizov will be an RFA after the season though.

Take a risk and sign him for 6 years.

Take a risk and sign him for 6 years.

Sure, just saying the benefit of the ELC is minimal as he'll probably get at least what Forsberg is making if he has a good season. Though he is under control for longer as Forsberg only has one more year after this before UFA so that's a decent advantage.

Ya pretty much. 24 year old RFA(next year) compared to a 28 year old UFA(in two years).

Might even be a good thing that his ELC is ending, get a discount.

It's just tough to compare those two players when one is much more team friendly and Forsberg will rightly be looking to get paid into his mid 30s.
