As much as I like Bennett's situation, I'm taking Bjorkstrand and Larkin.
Pick 2: Larkin, Bjorkstrand, Bennett

For me it's really between Bjork and Bennett. Picked up Bennett on his run after dropping him years ago. Now that Bennett has signed I feel more comfortable about dropping Bjorkstrand after waiting on him for a few years.

Larkin & Bjorkstrand for me.
Larkin and Bennett. I wouldn’t expect the Bennett of Florida last year but I like his chances at getting to 70 points more than bjork

Detroit may not make playoffs but Stevie Y has done a lot well, and Larkin will be beneficiary or that Bertuzzi signing.

12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

Larkin is the easy choice. The choice between Bjorkstrand and Sam is a whole lot tougher. If your league counted hits it makes the choice much easier, but it doesn't. Bjorkstrand should see first line minutes and PP 1 but the offence in Columbus is unlikely to be as effective as what Florida can bring. The thing is, I'm not certain where Bennett will actually fit in with the Cats. The Reinhart signing clouds that a bit. I could go on and on here, but what it really boils down to for me is that there are numerous question marks surrounding Bennett. Bjorkstrand's development has been slow but steady while Bennett has had his struggles. I think Bjorkstrand is the safe choice here. If Bennett proves me wrong I would not be overly surprised but until we know whether we are dealing with the old Sam or the new Sam, I'm going with that safer choice.

I'm going with Bjorkstrand. I think most of your cats lean towards offensive players and I am fairly certain Bjorkstrand has more upside, even if he's on Columbus. They're both huge dice rolls though, so I wouldn't fault you if your gut says Bennett.

Larkin and Bjork. Remember how good Bjorkstrand was prior to last season right before he got hurt? Last year was a little down at first too but this year he breaks out in a bigger way. Larkin is just waiting on some talent around him to catch up so he can have help in the offensive zone for a change. I want to believe in Bennett but I keep fighting with myself about doing so.
