Anders Lee Vs Andre Burakovsky

[ajcormier]

Hey everyone,

For the rest of the season, who do you see coming out ahead in points only, Lee or Burakovsky. Will Johansson's comeback hurt Burakovsky at all? Will Lee stay on the 2/3 line and not bounce back?

Cheers!

I'd take Burakovsky personally. More upside and I'm guessing (without checking) more games to play (with Washington rescheduling a couple).

Burakovsky. The lines get shaken up too much on the Island to recommend anyone besides JT.

Burakovsky. Lee is not as appealing outside of multi-cat with hits and SOG.

Lee is shooting plenty and still on PP1, but hasn't lit it up yet. I recently picked him up in a very deep league so here's to hoping he does.

But out of the two I would pick Burakovsky and ride the hot hand and Lee should still be available unless he picks it up.

I've heard Trotz has been satisfied with how André Burakovsky played prior to this point outburst - just that the points didn't come - but now they have. And that Burakovsky would get a serious look at top6 to see if he can fill Marcus Johansson's shoes (if MJ gets traded).

The one concern ROS with AB is that once MJ returns and further on isn't traded then AB moves down to 3/4 line, away from Kuznetsov who by the way seems to be such a catalyst, just makes his linemates excel - remember the chemistry he had with MJ last postseason.

I'd go with Burakovsky. Lee and the Islanders as a team haven't looked good this year

Cheers guys, the move is done. Watch Lee find his legs next game haha....
