Donskoi is less line dependant, so he's probably the pick, but Rust is also almost guaranteed a spot with Crosby or Malkin the rest of the season. I think I would pick Donskoi of the two, but not confidently.
Both line-dependent. Both clicking really well.
Who will produce more points for the rest of this season? And who has more staying power for keeper league?

RUST...I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Rust is saddled up with Malkin or Crosby as the teams 1st line RW for the rest of the season. He is absolutely the best RW on the team and it's not even close.

If you want to know what Rust could do on this Pens team, look up Chris Kunitz's stats from 2010-2014. He just has to stay healthy....

I dropped Granlund for Rust recently and it looks like the best decision I’ve ever made! He’s on an absolute tear right now. He’s in a good spot this season and I’m hoping he keeps it up!
