    Default Pick between Stamkos and Laine

    League in sig. From what I can see, they are a bit of a toss up. I find it is easier to get a good center than a good winger. I am leaning towards Laine. Is it really a coin toss or am I missing something?
    In a 10 league where we start 3C, 3LW, 3RW, 4D and 2 G daily. It is a H2H league - we keep 3 players (1 G max), are allowed a max of 2 keeps for each player. The number in brackets is the number of keeps I have left:

    G, A, +/-, PIMs, PPG, PPA and Shots.
    C - Larkin, Couturier, Kopitar, Cirelli
    LW - OV, Panarin (1), Schenn (C), Ehlers (RW), Kreider
    RW - Kucherov (0), Seguin (C), Palmieri, Voracek, Yamamoto
    D - Yandle, DeAngelo

    W, GAA, SV% and Saves.
    G - Rask, Varlamov, Hart, Mrazek
    IR+ - Tarasenko

    It's pretty close. Stamkos by a hair though - playing with Kucherov is the difference. If Laine plays regularly with Scheifele instead of Little, he's probably going to be as good, if not better, but until he passes Wheeler on the RW depth chart he's a shade below Stammer.

    Besides, I expect Stamkos to be even better this year - he shot a career low 12.7% (!). If he's around his career average of 15%, he hits 90 points.
    16 team league, keep 12 plus *4 1st/2nd year players (16 total)
    Points Only (w/ NHL salaries), start 8F/4D/1G
    Note: Defencemen receive 1 point per 45 mins of ice time (1-2 points per week, ~30-35 pts per season).

    Forwards:
    L. Couture, F. Forsberg, T. Teravainen, O. Palat, C. Kreider, K. Hayes, *J. Guentzel, R. Rakell, *K. Labanc, B. Point, *C. Fischer
    Defense:
    *S. Theodore, S. Gostisbehere, *M. Matheson, J. Trouba
    Goalie:
    M. Murray
