It's hard for me to pick one. Sure, Hedman is physically imposing and has shown some flashes of being a useful fantasy d-man, but Ellis looked pretty good in limited action with Nashville a year ago. Yes, Ellis played just 11 games and saw ice time against weak competition, but he was extremely effective on the power play during his time in the OHL.

It's really a toss-up at this point. I'd lean toward Hedman, but that's only because he has done more at the NHL level at this point. He also has the edge in terms of size and physicality. Tough question.
