Couturier is the obvious pick, but he has not been very good this year. 16 points so far this season with only 7 in the last 10 games. I probably look long and hard at Bertuzzi. Now on Yahoo Bert has LW,RW while Couturier is only C. I have to imagine you need wings more the centers which makes Bertuzzi even more desirable to me. If you really need a C, then I would probably go Couturier.

Agreed that if positional requirements are ultra important Bertuzzi becomes more desirable, but just a reminder that Couturier was playing through a wrist injury for a few weeks. He was not even taking face offs there for a spell. He is now back at the dot and he put up 9 shots on goal last game. I think he bounces back to form pretty quick.

Yeah I saw that, very cool - my team is doing quite well this year, but Couturier is one of the exceptions. I did not know about the injury, I saw he was not taking FOs - just figured the other guy was better. I hope you're right.
