Zucker or Weal

In a points league dynasty who do you take ?

I posted on Weal yesterday.
For me, he has boom or bust 3rd-wheel upside on PHI.
Maybe he turns into a Chris Kunitz like fit as LW1 or LW2.
He played really well there in last third of season.

I think Zucker has the better ability to put up his "own points".
So - it depends whether a team wants the high upside/big risk (Weal) or lower risk, with more ho-hum, but dependable, stats (Zucker).

If you have time to watch Weal's highlights (he did have 8g), you'll see him buzzing around the net looking for pucks.
He buzzes well... and his shot, while not lightning fast or accurate, does release quickly - and a goalie can't read that from in close.
If he keeps managing to slither into space and collect rebounds, potential is there.
Those kind of attributes are hockey-sense (game flow recognition) and determination, for which he seems to show both.

I think I'd gamble on Weal here. I am not sure there will end up being a big difference between these guys when it all washes out, but I think we've seen Zucker at his best already. Weal still has more to show. It could end up being a losing gamble, but neither guy is a game breaker so no real harm in taking a chance at this level.

I'd go with Zucker.
