Couturier or Namestnikov?

[newfcollins]

We have something called an equalization draft in the points-only pool in my sig. Basically, this is the only time during the season we can drop a player and pick up someone else that isn't currently on a team. The draft is on Friday.

I traded for the first overall selection. So now I have a tough decision. Couturier or Namestnikov? Points carry over, so I will also get their 19 points (currently) plus whatever they do for the rest of the season.

I already have four Flyers, so I'm not sure if I want Couturier. But can Namestnikov stick on the top line?

Other options are Evander Kane, Brown, Zucker, Marleau, Kerfoot, Bratt, Butcher, Varlamov and Jimmy Howard.

I'd chance namestnikov sticking. The upside is worth it.

My next pick would be e Kane in his contract year followed closely by couturier.

I would pick Couturier 1g1a tonight but whit your situation whit 4 Flyers I will have no problem picking Namestnikov I think both will be there (1ST line) all year but being in Quebec Couturier was so dominent in the Q that he have really good offensive instinct and upside he is not complimentary like Namestnikov whit KUCH and Stamkos. Couturier is a big part of the Flyers 1ST line whit two really good player in Giroux and Voracek that why I prefer Couturier by a hair.

Even with Price's injury I am unsure if a goalie would help you.

Of the two, I think I'd take Namestnikov since you are Flyers-heavy right now between the forwards.

However, I'd go with a defenseman, though to protect against an season-ending injury to somebody, since you have the minimum 5.

E. Kane before both. Yes, he can get hurt often, but if he doesn`t, he will have a monster season.

Um, did you miss the thread I posted last week after my cage match featuring these two?
