Although I do not like Brassard, I would take him over Couturier; especially now that he's centering the top line in Ottawa. Nielsen is another good option, but I prefer Brassard even if he currently has less points.

Would you drop one of Lindholm or Couturier for any of them? Lindholm has been a bit better lately with 9pts in his last 7 games.

I would drop either Lindholm or Couturier for Brassard. I think we are finally about to see a bit of the Brassard-of-old now that Ottawa is getting their new system in place.
I would probably drop both of them and pick up Brassard and Buchnevich, ride Buchnevich while he's hot and switch back to any of the others if it doesn't work out.
In response to Bass, I also like Nielsen as a player, but I've completely lost faith for this year. Nielsen (as a NYI) was always the guy who no one drafts and is leading the FA pool in points until someone grabs him for the rest of the year. I thought he was doing to be a perfect fit in Detroit, centering some scoring talent. Detroit just doesn't have it this year. Nielsen's second half is going to be on par with his first half.
