Taormina. Not necessarily because I am a believer in him just yet, but I am so much not a believer in Niskanen that I'd take a chance with Taormina.

As an owner of Niskanen I officially have to say him. But if you keep/acquire him, be prepared to watch him play 18-20 mins a game, get 4 mins on the PP and post zero points.

Taormina isn't anything special though and once the Devil D gets healthier, then his role will be even more limited. No hype is usually a massive indicator and I don't think he's this year's Bozak

Neither. Both have issues with maintaining PP duty. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Welllll, I already have one. ;-)

I'd roll the dice on Taormina before Niskanen. In this case I'd roll with the guy coming off a 50pt season in the AHL vs one who has never topped 35pt in college, the AHL, or NHL. Granted past results do not guarantee future returns, but in a case where both players carry serious question marks and risk I'll go the "what have you done for me lately" route.
