    This is tough, since you're light on hits. But Benn could be in the midst of a downward spiral. Couturier is the safer pick, although Benn might be worth the risk/reward, plus the Hits.

    I agree.....Benn for risk/reward or Couturier for safer. Tough call.

    Does Benn have dual eligibility in your league? That might swing it for me.

    Thanks.....Benn is my pick. I think he rebounds this year and with dual eligibility, you have more flexibility when drafting.

    I lean towards Benn. I don't think he is on a downward spiral. Just an off year. He will come back this season with something to prove. As well, I think that the Dallas power play should be improved with Pavelski in the mix.

    I have Benn for around 70 points this season. Add that to his hits and I think he would be my choice. Plus the dual eligibility is nice.

    To throw a spanner in the works, you might consider keeping both and dropping Dadanov, given he's a bit lighter on offense and hits than Couturier. But could come down to who you think has a higher perceived value and would be easier to re-draft. However, it may depend on what centres vs wingers could be available early.

    Just giving you other options to consider...

    All about positions, most teams have pretty solid C depth. Dadononv being a LW/RW is pretty huge, making any of my C's much easier to draft.
