nodl or makrarov

I have an empty roster spot in my keeper league and I\'m wondering who i should pick up. Makarov sounds more skilled, but the only place that seems to have him really highly rated is dobbers site. Nodl sounds closer, but his ahl stats aren\'t stellar. Who do you suggest?

I like Nodl a lot, but I think Makarov is a better bet here. Philly has a lot of heads in front of Nodl, and the only reason that Nodl is on the Flyers right now is because of how responsible he is defensively. That may be somewhat of a bad thing for him as the last thing any of us would want is for Nodl to turn into a checking winger...

Makarov has a better shot of making a splash next season I would think.

Nodl profiles as an NHL third liner.
Makarov is a boom-or-bust player, with first-line potential.

Go with the boom-or-bust potential.

I\'d say Nodl is definitely 2nd line potential with a solid shot at hitting it.

Makarov is a potential 1st liner with a slim chance of hitting it.

I like Makarov.

Philadelphia has alot of good forwards under 30 yrs old with Van Riemsdyk and Giroux still to come. Nodl will not get an opportunity on a scoring line any time soon.

makarov on the other hand may make the team next year. He can so some damage playing with Kane/Toews and Sharp.
