Yikes, this a toughie. But i'll go Parise.
Love the teammate vs. teammate matchups. This one and the Getz. vs. Perry matchup.
For a pure points only i canīt deny what Ilya has done over the years and without contract in the play i prefer Kovy.

Kovy of course!

grammar Nazi
Noun
(slang, idiomatic) 1. A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others, especially in situations where it is unnecessary, e.g. an informal conversation.
Notes: This behavior is almost always found in people with very low I.Q's, whom have a very low sense of self worth. Impotence is also commonly linked to Grammar Nazi's.
Went with Kovy here but it was tough. I like his goal scoring advantage.

Give me Parise. Has put his injury behind him and love his attitude over Kovalchuk's anyday.
I think the interesting dynamic here is that if Parise leaves that could be a big upgrade for him and downgrade for Kovalchuk. Conversely, if Parise stays then the status quo remains, which may give Kovalchuk the advantage. A lot of hypotheticals to speculate about on this one.
If you remove Kovy's 2 month slump to start last season, he's been a point per game since 2006 (and the 2 years prior to 2006). So consistent, and with a mid 90s upside. Gotta take Kovy.
