Protecting keepers: Stepan, Fleichmann, Brunner, Tlusty

[hank mooney]

Are these guys all the same player from a fantasy standpoint??? Who's the best keeper here moving forward?? This is for a points only, keeper pool, no positional requirements and goals/assists are weighted the same. It's a 15 team league, where we protect 6 forwards, so it's 90 forwards deep. Thanks for any input, rep for replies!!!

My ranking would be:

Stepan (has looked VERY good)
Brunner (looked great early, has slowed down a little, but great opportunity on the Wings)
Fleischmann (team will hold him back a little)
Tlusty (has also look very good, but I just don't trust him keeper-wise)
