I am a huge Benn fan but I can't imagine going with anyone but Hall here, especially in a goal-heavy league like this one.

Don't forget that Benn was a minus his first two seasons and only turned that around last year.

There is also a three year age gap:

At 20 years old, Benn finished minus-1 with 22+19=41 on the season (82 games)

At 20 years old, Hall finished minus-3 with 27+26=53 on the season - but he was on pace for 36+35=71 before his injury.

Benn will be great, but Hall is an elite scorer. If a plus/minus gap is the concern, Hall's two-point PPGs in this league will more than make up for it.

Learn something every day...I did not know Hall was considered by the franchise to be THE man, but as an owner of Hall, I have to admit that makes me happy to hear.

Its not a negative per se to have other really talented guys around you, but Benn will get every chance to produce regardless and every break to succeed aka the Golden Boy treatment...I'm not sure its as certain for Hall to get treated that way, but I can certainly be wrong.

Back again.

With the season back and ready to roll, I have to make a decision here, between Hall & Benn. Trying not to be a "homer" (worst thing you could do in fantasy leagues) but obviously I am a Hall fan.

With the way Hall has been playing in the AHL, especially coming back from his offseason Shoulder Surgery change anyones mind? I was leaning towards Benn but he is still without a contract hasn't been playing anywhere of knowledge, (obviously the Stars will get something done but)

Whoever I choose, I would lose the 3rd rd pick in my draft as his keeper slot.

My scoring format is as follows:
+/- - Plus Minus 1 point
A - Assists 1 point
G - Goals 1 point
GWG - Game Winning Goals 2 points
PPA - Power Play Assists 1 point
PPG - Power Play Goals 2 points
SHG - Short Handed Goals 2 points

Any info greatly appreciated.
