I would try to upgrade Street or Duchene to higher quality keepers. If there is a NHL season cancellation, do you redraft for next season or keep your team intact?

Redraft - auction for keepers, draft for filling our your roster
Auction for keepers, what do you mean?

We held an auction for keepers - this was the first year of our league, and we thought it was only fair for everyone to have a shot at crosby, stamkos etc, so all GMs got a budget of $200 to spend on players. We then auctioned off players one by one. It actually worked great!
Oh, OK. I thought you were re-auctioning the "keepers".

And im still feeling very positive about the season - its going to happen!
That is a pretty awesome team for a 16 team hold 19 players league. I am a little confused by what you mean by roto limited keeper - points only. Are you suggesting a maximum number of games per position? I looks like a fairly straight up 'points league' actually but thought I would check.
If there is a season, I like your team a lot as it sits. It will be hard to upgrade your keepers at the same time you try and win the league, but it is something you want to keep in mind. With the kind of depth you have, I think it is possible with off-season trades to improve your keepers though - assuming your league allows off season trades - some don't. Giroux, Letang and Rask seem to be keeper locks - the others are upgradable I think - Benn not so much, but still upgradable.
You have a solid team. I think OEL will replace Streit as a keeper for you OR you could swing him in a deal to upgrade a keeper spot. Quality team though.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I am feeling good about it, but was fearful i was just in love with my team like i have been every other year.
Definately need to upgrade streit, and am feeling like duchene is undervalued right now and am willing to hold on him for a little while
If Luongo is moved he becomes a quality starter, i would still lean towards keeping hin a 16 man league as elite goalies are such a valuable commodity. It's not like streit will make or break a season for you. If and when the CBA is sorted out i think the Luongo deal will follow shortly after, assuming he goes to a reasonable team (because he has a full NTC) he will continue to be atleast an above average goaltender who plays a workhourse amount of games.
OEL in for Streit, and your set for many years to come.
I agree with keeping OEL over Streit, even though Streit does have some mileage left in him. OEL just oozes potential and he'll be a stud for years. Luongo + Duchene may be able to get you a great return for a better keeper, so it's a trade to keep in mind as the season, if there is one, comes to a close. For a 16 team league, your team is looking pretty good.
Thanks again for the feedback.
I love OEL, but wonder if he is still a year or so away - but probably still good advice to move Streit and keep him.
With regards to Luongo, depending on where he lands, i would actually consider keeping him instead of Rask as i think they will have similar performance, but Rask is likely an asset that will get me more in return.
