The window on cashing in on Henrique's value closed with the loss of Parise. While Henrique's rookie season was solid, he tailed off near the end. When Parise was on the team Henrique had the options of either him or Kovalchuk as linemates. Now, he's battling Zajac for top line minutes. Moreover, Henrique's value is based on season and you need to be wary of the sophomore slump.

Koivu's value on the other hand is a better overall player, has shown consistency at the 60 point level, and will benefit from playing with Parise, assuming they line up together. Even if they don't, until the season starts, the posibility will keep his trade value high.

You might need to consider a better option like Moulson or Voracek. The former has been a consistent scoring threat and the latter is looking like a solid sleeper and potential 1st liner on a stacked Philly team. Maybe throw in a decent name prospect or a second rounder to round this one out.
