What\'s your scoring system? A premium on goals should/could/would influence the decision.

Depends on the scoring system.

However if it\'s 1 for 1 I would rank them like Smoothfun did.

Count Pts, +/-, W, SO

Malkin (future), Thornton, Heatly, spezza

Malkin\'s a Russian, he gets moved down the list based on that alone. Thornton then Heatley in a 1-1 league, Heatley then Thornton in a goal scorers league, Spezza\'s third either way.

Thornton just signed an extention so that might move him to the top too.

Name one Russian star that consistently plays up to his potential year in and year out. Malkin might get you 120 points one year and take the next two years off.
