With Lehtera on one of the hottest lines in the league and Krejci on a so-soish Boston team, is Lehtera the better play this year? I also own Schwartz so I'm leery of putting too much faith in one line. Thoughts?

Krejci is dealing with a lower body injury. Sounds like this is the first time he has had to deal with an injury in his career. Will miss the next two games, hopefully that's it. With the loss of Iginla, Krejci is now the Bruins tip of the spear. 10 points in 10 games played. He skates with Lucic, who looks much better this year speed wise. I'm thinking he'll put up 60 pts this year. I'm a die hard Bruins fan, who watches all their games. Just my take on DK.

My gut tells me to stick with Krejci but it's hard to deny what Lehtera is doing. Smart play is to stick with Krejci and wait it out. The gambler in me says go for Lehtera. Are you a gambler?

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I've been known to take the odd gamble on players with huge upside...tbh I hadn't really heard much about Lehtera prior to him landing on this line.
Usually I'm a numbers guy and I put my faith in previous numbers. I think I'll stick with Krejci as he is a proven producer, but Lehtera is on my watch list...if the two players keep going in opposite directions maybe I'll take a crack at Lehtera but it's still early in the season. Thanks for the replies.
Isn't there someone else you could drop besides Krejci?

I agree. Keep Krejci. He'll be the #1 wheelhouse when he returns.

I have Bryan little as well...whadya think?
Lehtera and his line are on fire, no doubt, but I'd personally stick with the proven guys, Krejci and Little.

I'd personally drop Drouin or Muzzin for Lehtera if you were going to drop anyone.
