Bogosian, or Muzzin

[a.tax.lupul]

This is my first year in fantasy hockey, so i'm just trying to figure out the ropes. I was wondering if picking up Jake Muzzin off waivers and dropping Zach Bogosian would be a good idea, Bogosian's had a decent start, but Muzzin could be the better player long term. My defence is fairly weak so let me know if you think I should drop someone else.

I'm in a points based league. all categories here's my team

C. Crosby, Stamkos, Weiss
LW. D Sedin, Marleau, J Staal
RW. Perry, Pominville, Hodgson
D. Yandle, Hamhuis, Carle, Bogosian,
Utl. Lacavalier
G. Varlamov, Dubnyk
BN. Fleischmann, Tyutin, MacKinnon

I prefer Bogo

I prefer Bogo as well. I think he's a little bit more developed in his career than Muzzin is, and there has been talk about the top pairing of Enstrom/Buff getting mixed around with the Jets.
I'm not sure if Kings play 3F/2D or 4F/1D on their PP, but with the emergence of Voynov and the stable play of Doughty, Muzzin will not get any PP1 time this year.

Basically, they're the same player. The thing is, you have to burn a waiver for little to no return.

Muzzin is getting LOTS of PP1 time still. Look here and here.

In fact Muzzin was playing PP1 over Voynov in game 1. He is very talented offensively, it's his defensive game that could get him in trouble.

Having said that, I would take Bogosian too. Even though I think his offensive ceiling is limited, I think he's much more dependable than Muzzin. I can see Muzzin getting more points than Bogosian but is much riskier pick at this time.

Yeah, I was curious at the PPTOI for McD yesterday, so when I decided to look at the Kings as well, I was surprised that Muzzin got PP1 over Voynov and Doughty. Sucks cause I have Doughty.
