Who would you keep? (Keeper pool)

[Le Barron de HF]

Who would you rather keep in a keeper pool that takes cap hit in consideration and only counts pts and hat tricks: Ladd or Purcell?

I'm kinda torn on the two players, they make the same cap hits, Ladd had a better season but Purcell just got dealt on an offensive team in EDM. Both of them have been relatively healthy and have had good seasons in the past. Purcell had a pretty high shooting percentage in his best season and play primarly with Stamkos that year. Considering that Ladd has produced with decent talent but nothing near the level of Stamkos and the fact that he's more of a goal scorer than Purcell (hat trick bonus), I'm leaning on him. What do you guys think?

Ladd without a doubt. Not close

I see your dilemma. Purcell definitely has upside potential if he can play in EDM top 6, but the gamble is just too big and the difference in points would only end being 10-15.

Ladd is a great hockey player who is consistent to boot. Definitely go with Ladd.
