This being said, it's all or nothing for this guy. I'm giving him a 1 year tryout on my team, make or "break" if you will.
My vote Markov....high risk, high reward. Next for me would be Nikitin.
14 team points only league
9 forwards (3 of each position)
4 defense
2 goalies
farm team option
Must submit top 4 pointing players back into draft at end of every season
14 rounds
Can only carry over 12 players each year
The safest player in my mind is Nikitin, he put together a decent season last year but primo ice time may be tough for him to gain.
The other guy I look at here is Markov. He's had a brutal run through the last few seasons, but if his knee can finally hold together he will be far and away the best from this group.

Thanks for all the responses. How much stock would one put into stats coming from the KHL. Markov even before he was injured looked brutal stat wise. Same could be said of Nikitin. With Markov, I wonder if he has lost it.
I don't recall seeing good stats from any NHL defensemen playing overseas. I might be missing something myself, but perhaps the bigger ice requires D to play a bit more conservatively?

I'd lean towards Nikitin given his role once he was traded last year and the points he acrued; however, I also have a blind spot for PM Bouchard. I think he is the most talented of all the players listed and with the talent MIN is adding via free agency (Parise, Suter) and Rookies (Granlund, Boyle, Zucker) he will actually have talent to play with for the first time in years. Plus, if he does get hurt I am assuming you can move him to the IR.
