Kesler. He's finally healthy for the first time in ages, so I think he's going to put up good numbers. And Stastny will be kept in a more defensive role this year in COL.
I feel Stastny underrated this year and will play in a top-6 role this year with O'Reilly moving to wing (and I believe MacKinnon will move to wing next to Stastny). Even though Kesler says he's healthy, I still reserve judgement until I see him string together some starts. Plus, I feel Kesler's linemates (Burrows and either Booth or Higgins with Sedins playing with Kassian) won't be as good as Stastny's (I'm thinking MacKinnon and Landeskog with Duchene centering Parenteau and O'Reilly?). As a result, I say Stastny over Kesler (by a hair).
