who would you keep? rep will be awarded
 

in pts-only leagues (goalies w=2, so=2+3, otl=1), who would you all keep from my team 1 and 2? we keep 7 f, 3d and 1g in each pool.

some are obvious but i'm open to suggestions from everyone - rep for all insight or even suggestions...

Here's who I would keep

League 1

F's-E Staal, Kopitar, Eberle, Voracek, Tarasenko, Ennis, last spot between J Staal and Eriksson. Probably go with Staal here just because he is younger.

D-Yandle, Faulk, Carlson

G-Quick

League 2

F's-Zetterberg, Kovalchuk, Hossa, Couture, Voracek, Hudler, Carter

D-Kronwall, Edler, Del Zotto

G-Lund

Team 1:
E. Staal, Kopitar, Eberle, Eriksson, Voracek, Tarasenko, Ennis
Yandle, (two of Carlson/Gardiner/Smith. Tough choice, probably Carlson/Smith)
Quick

It's a good keeper squad with lots of youth. You could argue for J. Staal over Ennis or Tarasenko, and I wouldn't argue too hard, but otherwise I think it's pretty straightforward.

Team 2:
Kovalchuk, Couture, Voracek, Zetterberg, Hossa, Carter, Hudler
Edler, Kronwall, Phaneuf
Lundqvist

This is an uglier group.

Kovalchuk, Couture, Voracek I keep for sure. Any of the rest I would consider moving for picks or an upgrade if you can swing it and it makes sense (don't just move keepers for picks if you can't select a better keeper in the draft).
Defence is tough but I think you have to go with these guys in points only. There's definitely room to make an argument for some of the others though.
Anderson has too much of an injury history. If you're out of it, make a trade and reap the rewards if you can. Might be tough with the injury.

My picks in bold.

F: E.Staal, Kopitar, Eberle, Tarasenko, J.Staal, Ennis, Eriksson, Voracek, Backlund, Granlund, Baertschi, Downie
D: Yandle, Carlson, Gardiner, B.Smith, Faulk, Barrie
G: Quick, Fasth

F: Kovalchuk, Zetterberg, Couture, Hossa, Hudler, Carter, Voracek, Little, Vermette, Ladd, Callahan, Wilson, Laich, Brouwer, Schroeder, N.Foligno
D: Kronwall, Del Zotto, Edler, Phaneuf, Chara, Voynov, Blum
G: Lundqvist, Anderson

F: E.Staal, Kopitar, Eberle, Tarasenko, J.Staal, Ennis, Voracek
D: Yandle, Carlson, B.Smith
G: Quick

Pretty straight foward in this one... Carlson will bounce back; don't give up on him



F: Kovalchuk, Zetterberg, Couture, Hossa, Carter, Voracek, Ladd
D: Kronwall, Edler, Chara
G: Lundqvist

There's more depth on D in this team but I would still keep the 3 best players and try to draft good youngsters next year. D's take more time to blossom, but they tend to be more consistent once they do start to produce, even in their final years...
