Stamkos vs. Boldy vs. Stutzle - who's the pick?

[habslive]

I need to keep one of these three. I can make a case for all of them.
Categories are G, A, P, PPP, SOG, Faceoffs and blocks.

Stamkos and Stutzle have C and W eligibility. Boldy does not but he got re hot in the latter half of the year last season.

Thoughts?

Stamkos is always a producer. But being on a new team gives me pause. Many players take awhile to adjust to new surroundings. And being a keeper league, I would go with one of the two promising young guys. I like both Boldy and Stutzle.

But if I had to pick one, I would go Stutzle. But would be fine with Boldy as well.

Boldy is out week to week.

Thanks!
I really like how Boldy heated up down the stretch, but I know Stutzle was playing hurt for a good portion of the season, and hoping his faceoff % goes up again. I think Stutzle does have the highest ceiling, but NSH could field a pretty potent power play here with Forsberg, Marchessault, Stamkos and Josi, should they choose to lump all of them together, plus one more.

As much as I have been leery when it comes to Ottawa and their inability to progress in their rebuild, I'd probably go with Stutzle due to his age and his ceiling.

Though I'm not planning to keep him myself in a league I was looking for advice on keepers only due to having other viable options further down in the draft.

Fortunately your league doesn't track +/- so that is beneficial due to Ottawa's track record the past few years.

My concern with Stamkos is his age and being on a new team. He is slated for the second line as a winger, so he may not have as much FO value as he did if he was still in Tampa.

Biggest issue is if injuries continue to hurt Ottawa. Stutzle has played 75+ games the past three seasons. He has put up 90 points before, so he can produce. It's just whether the supporting cast is able to suit up.

A line of Tkachuk, Stutzle & Giroux could be nice for the scoresheet if they are able to gel.
