If the salary isn't a huge concern, I like Couturier as the best option there at a pretty reasonable salary when compared with Trocheck and Palmieri. But if you just want the best pure value option, it's DeBrusk then Schmaltz.
Points only. Salaries are a factor.
Trocheck - 5.25
Couturier - 4.5
Schmaltz - 3
Palmieri - 5
DeBrusk - 0.83
Batherson - 0.78
Obviously DeBrusk and Batherson are cheap options but as usual they come with more risk for lower totals.
Palmieri is a great guy to have on your team but I think I can redraft him.
I like Schmaltz a lot but Arizona has typically been a fantasy graveyard.
Trocheck and Couturier are probably the most valued in my league but neither of them blow me away.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Couturier for me at $4.5M and its not close. He's a legit 75pt guy and gets top line everything in Philly. He's not the sexiest name at center but he's undervalued most of the time.
Trochek would have been close behind but he lost PP1 to Hoffman last year and it could be the case again this year, in that regard his value tanks and makes it almost impossible to hit 75 again like he did a couple years ago.
I like DeBrusk for a bit of a breakout this year and he's cheap sure but again, can he grab some time on Boston's top PP? Maybe, maybe not.

I would go with Couturier at 4.5 and try to redraft Trocheck because Florida will be a great fantasy hockey team this upcoming season(my personal opinion).
