    Default Sturm or PM Bouchard?

    Sturm just traded to the Kings... assuming he will play with Koptiar and Brown on the top line.
    Who will have more points between Sturm and Bouchard?

    I'd go with Sturm, the fact that the top line is screaming for a effective winger bodes well for his value.

    I'd go with Sturm as well but wouldn't expect miracles by any means...he's better offensively than Brown is though so that could bode well for him once he gets his legs under him out there

    They're both gambles, but of different types.

    Sturm will get a good long tryout on whatever line(s) seem(s) to work best for him, and it may take weeks to figure that out. He may not shine for a week or two while he gets his bearings. But eventually, the Kings will figure out how to optimize him, and that will be a good thing for his owner. Maybe.

    Bouchard is talented, but concussion histories seem more and more to dog a player. Yes, he could stay healthy and be productive like he used to be, but I think it's 50/50 he's injured again this year, or at least more likely than Sturm is.

    Give me the Sturm gamble please.

    If I had to pick, I'd go with Sturm only because of the talent around him. Not a fan of the guy. PM Bouchard is fragile at this point, and probably will be reluctant to play at 100%.
