    Default announcing keepers today- help!

    standard h2h league. there are 10 teams. we keep 5 each.

    i have ovechkin, n.backstrom(was), marleau, thornton.

    my 5th keeper is between kipper, grabner, subban.... questionable i know....

    the following goalies are guaranteed to be kept: thomas, henrik, vokoun, price, quick, bryz, niemi, rinne, luongo, crawford, miller, fleury, howard. if i keep grabner, which is what i want to do, these are the top 10 goalies availalbe: halak, kipper, brodeur, hiller, neurivirth, ward, roloson, lehtonen, reimer......

    do i need to keep kipper? i feel like im going to be chasing goalie stats all year with or without him.... what do you guys think?

    In a 10 team league keep 5 there is NO way Grabner should be one of your keepers. How many players do you ice at each position per night? Could you list your full team?

    Ironically in a standard multi cat I would be looking at Grabner as the third option of those guys, what are the league settings and scoring? Separated by positions? How much weight is onn the goalie cats?

    I'd say you almost have to keep Kipper, I'm guessing you won't get 2 of those goalies you mentioned in your first post and unless you plan on tanking for the season you don't have a lot of options. Again either way I would keep both Subban or Kipper before Grabner.

    Add another one to this.

    Regarding giving up two shitloads for Ovechkin that's not a bad thing considering its a limited keeper. There's going to be a lot of talent going back into the redraft (just look at who you're dropping)

    I'd probably keep Kipper the ratio killer.

    1/3 of your stats are for goalies, so I would keep kipper. I would also draft a goalie early, Halak if he is there ( don't forget Pavelec - nice fall back if available). I like subban as well, but can't put him ahead of others.

    You have to keep Kipper here in my opinion. Its hard to start off that far behind the 8 ball in the goalie department and with 4/12 cats for goalies you need production from them.

    Even if Grabner scored 40 goals, I'd keep Kipper here. Otherwise you are screwed.

    I'd also keep Subban over Grabner.

    Look at it this way, you've had 5 or 6 of us say that we wouldn't keep Grabner. That means either we underrate him or you overrate him. Either way, you will likely be able to redraft him as most people probably feel the way we do.

    Good luck.

    Agree with Dawg, you should have no problem redrafting him. Its easier to find a guy like Grabner than it is to find a starting goalie. I like Grabner and he may hit 40 goals, projecting 30 with upside.

    Good luck

    Anther for keeping Kipper. In a keep 5, grabner isnt at that level yet. I wouldnt even take him in the first couple rounds of your draft as there is bound to be a lot of talent available.

    Some times you have to step back from your love of a player and do whats best for your team.
