I would take Rust. Seems like he has ppg upside based on linemates. I'm not sure Bura has that even with MacK

Even if Rust regresses to .75 pt/gm - that's still 60+.
Bura's still sniffing for 50.

Yes, don't let 15 playoff games of a great pace from Burakovsky fool you.
I have been fooled by Silfverberg for doing the same thing.
I think you have to look at the larger sample in the regular season and therefore Rust is the safer option.

I think this is closer than some may think. I'd also go with Rust, but I expect Burakovsky will be right there close to his points total most years.

Hmm all good points, didn’t think it was so heavily towards Rust tho but I can see it if he sticks in the top 6. I think I may lean towards dropping Giordano(age may be catching up to him) and keep both. Thoughts? Rust/Bura > Gio
