    Stepan as well. Better quality linemates.

    At the beginning of the year, I would have said Spezza. I expected him to get more time with Seguin and/or Benn. However right now he has 35 points in 47 games while Stepan has 32 in 32 games. I didn't expect a whole lot more points from Spezza, but I expected more goals and less assists.

    On the other hand I didn't expect Stepan to be a point per game player and would be surprised to see him with 67 points in his 67 games (assuming no other injury) for the year.

    I have a feeling that Stepan and Spezza will be very similar point wise for the rest of the year, but would probably chose Stepan because he is more likely to operate above expectation if for no other reason than that is what he has done for the year.
    In a 10 league where we start 3C, 3LW, 3RW, 4D and 2 G daily. It is a H2H league - we keep 3 players (1 G max), are allowed a max of 2 keeps for each player. The number in brackets is the number of keeps I have left:

    G, A, +/-, PIMs, PPG, PPA and Shots.
    C - Larkin, Couturier, Kopitar, Cirelli
    LW - OV, Panarin (1), Schenn (C), Ehlers (RW), Kreider
    RW - Kucherov (0), Seguin (C), Palmieri, Voracek, Yamamoto
    D - Yandle, DeAngelo

    W, GAA, SV% and Saves.
    G - Rask, Varlamov, Hart, Mrazek
    IR+ - Tarasenko

    Stepan. He is leaned on heavily at even strength and is a key operator on their first PP. Spezza may be a minus machine going forward.

    Agreed. Stepan is the catalyst, Spezza on the other hand would probably need to rely on big minutes with Seguin/Benn to match Stepan's production IMO.

    Stepan and I don't think it's close. Stepan is vastly under-rated across the board in all forms of scoring.

    Stepan for me easily, I don't think Spezza's season this year is an outlier, and he's absolutely trash in getting pretty much any peripherals.

    Easily Stepan for me without a doubt in my mind.

    Stepan has been fantastic this year, is playing on the better team with better line mates (even when Spezza plays with Benn and Seguin, I'd rather have Stepan), and he is a driving force for point production.
