Byfuglien impact on Niku

[ACC90]

Hello everyone,

I know it's soon to speculate without Byfuglien final decision, but who do you anticipate to replace Byfuglien if he retired?

My odds are :
-Sami Niku (20%)
-Neal Pionk (20%)
-Trade (60%)

In my one year league (point-only) I drafted Byfuglien in the 10th (of 27 round) so I lost a really good D and there is nothing left.
Who would you pick from those defencemen still available (yes I will wait Byfuglien final decision before making my move)?

Pionk, Niku, Murray, Goligoski, Leddy, Vlasic, Chychrun, Jokiharju, DeAngelo, Brannstrom, R. Andersson

Thank you

I think it's a year too early for Niku. Winnipeg would most likely put Pionk in a place to shine so as to convey that they got something great from the Trouba trade.
