I realize tough with d vs forward. With the young up and coming Phoenix D i'm not sure when Rundblad will get a chance. I drafted him last year relatively high (bit of koolaid) but feel that opportunity is not in his corner now. I have Voynov farm eligible for two years and OEL for 1 more year. Given my fairly strong d corps + 2 of my 5 farm spots being taken up by OEL and Voynov, Would you drop Rundblad for Bjugstad? Or sit on Rundblad and allow him to adjust to the NA style/rink size/culture?

I'd go for Bjugstad if I were you. Based solely on the fact I feel he will become a more valuable asset in 2-3 years than Rundblad. I expect Rundblad to get in some NHL games this season but don't really see him being a keeper or overly fantasy relevant by then. Bjugstad should have a strong chance of transitioning easily to the NHL considering his size and development curve.

I still really an high on Rundblad but I would trade him anyday for Bjugstad, who will be a top line player IMO.
