Burakovsky or Kopitar, slight lean towards Burakovsky

4. Benn - unsustainably shooting 16%, up from 10% over the last 3 years. Sees 45-60% PP time. He'll lose his battle with father time (they all do, except maybe Sid) and come back to earth. He'll easily break the 46 points from last year but he's like 60% over his point pace from the last 4 years

3. Lee - shooting % is down from his career mark and sees almost 70% of PP time but the current 60-pt pace feels right, never been better than 0.75 p/g, not sure he starts now at 32

1b. Kopitar - hoping Fiala just sticks on his wing now. PP% and PPTOI are down a tiny bit from usual, another one battling father time but numbers are more sustainable than Benn. Still the talisman in LA, good bet to hit 70 points

1a. Burakovsky - Talent has always been there. Similar point paces to Kopitar the last few years but is trending upward. Two question marks though:
1) Will he keep shooting at this pace? He's taking a full shot per game more than usual. If that drops so will the goals/points.
2) The 1a/1b nature of the Kraken PP limits his upside

All that said I think Kopitar ends up around 70 and Burakovsky around 75. Plus, Seattle has 3 more games remaining than LA

I'd have Kopitar over Burakovsky but only barely.
