Would It Hurt More To Lose Kesler Or Henrik This Season?

Had we been missing Henrik Sedin all season, instead of Ryan Kesler, would we be better or worse than we are right now?

So, as we know, we are 13-9-6 on the season.

Henrik has put up 27 points in 28 games (solid production).

(random generated lineup).

Raymond Kesler Higgins

Sedin Schroeder Burrows

Hansen Lapierre Kassian

Worse. Way worse.

Hank leads the team in points (tied with Daniel for the lead in goals, leads the team in assists) and incredibly is a +16 on the season, despite the awful defense and goaltending we've seen lately. Kesler, while he would make a bigger impact defensively and physically, does not do as much for the team overall as Hank does.

Henrik Sedin is the most important player on the team without question and he is having an amazing season. Take him out and this team is in the Seth Jones hunt. Maybe the emotion of losing him carries them for a while but you don't lose a player like that and survive. I used to think Daniel was better and maybe he can score more but Henrik is doing so much this year.

Losing Henrik would have this team trying to play a game they have not had to play in what... 8 seasons?

Losing a player who has been on your roster every single game for that many seasons would severely hamper the team, even with Kesler in the lineup.
