No Positions, Points Only - Byfuglien or Marcus Johansson

[chuckcouples]

In a points only league where positions don't matter, who would you prefer, Dustin Byfuglien of Marcus Johansson? Which of the two is going to get more points in the next two seasons?

[StuntMan12]

Byfuglien

Buffer should get ~55 pts
Johansson should get ~48 pts

Byuf is a 50s guy, Johansson is a 40s guy for me

Marcus will be playing regularly with more skilled guys the next 2 yrs too making it closer then you think.

[Eskimo Brother]

Byfuglien for me. He's the driver anytime he's on the ice. Johansson will have to be carried by line mates to make it to Buff's production.

[Sulla]

Didn't Marcus just spend quite a bit of time bouncing between Backstrom and Kuznetzov's lines?

both should be anywhere between 40/55 points but mojo could be relegated to defensive role which could shove him down to the 3o's.

His most frequent line mates were actually T. Wilson and J. Chimera.

Pick me - I should get around 50 with all the PP time I want.

It's kind of funny that we say the forward may not be as good a pick because he could be relegated to a defensive role, whereas we like the defenceman for offence. Oh the irony.

[Sulla]

35.3 % v 34.8% on Kuznetzov's line and an additional 14.6% with Backstrom so technically 59.4% with those 2 centres v 35.3% with Wilson and Chimera

If you want to look at it that way, then I say he only got 46 points while playing over half his shifts with those two lines
With Ovie, Williams, Oshie, Bura (Plus them wanting to get more offence out of Wilson), I don't see room for Johansson to get consistent time there.

I think mojo is a really complete player so he's the caps utility dude kinda like how frans nielsen was for the isles .

plug him into almost any role
