Welcome to the boards!
I think you're keepers are solid as you've picked them. The extra 0.5 for Dman points aren't enough to make me want to keep another defenseman instead of Couture and really Shattenkirk is the only legitimate option there.
My keepers that I have selected so far, out of 5, are Malkin, Crosby, Pietrangelo, Quick, and Couture. I am debating Quick and Couture, for guys like Shattenkirk, Mike Green and Bobby Ryan. It's H2H 2 for G, 1 for A, 3 for PPG and .5 extra for Dman point. I ended up making some huge trades, and somehow I am still in 2nd.I traded Datsyuk, Enstrom, Nash and a 2nd (that second reallly hurt) for Crosby (I know huge gamble and maybe overpaid). I also traded away Benn, Boyle, and Martin for Pietrangelo and Callahan. I did have 5 solid Keepers with Benn, Nash, and Datsyuk, but I figured Crosby Malkin and Pietrangelo have way too much potential. I will list my team and let me know what you all think!
F: Crosby, Malkin, Marleau, Gagner, Lecavalier, Ryan, Couture, Dupuis, Saad, Bozak, Callahan
D: Pietrangelo, Shattenkirk, Del Zotto, Green, Wisniewski,
G: Quick, Holtby, Hiller
Thanks!

Thanks! I was thinking if Green plays solidly to seasons end, he could be an option, but Couture's upside is tremendous, so I may do just that!
i might take Shattenkirk over couture. try to find out a few other managers keepers even if your just guessing for them. then you can see who the best drops will be in general between forwards and defencemen. that might help.

One of my friends has Neal, Nash, Suter, Letang, and Spezza. Another is Weber, Ovechkin, Stamkos, Simmonds Hartnell, most aren't all that interested in rookies, mostly just the typical picks.
In a G=2, A=1 league, you have to focus on goal-scorers.
Defensemen don't score many goals... and I wouldn't even focus too much on the D-scoring (because they ALL get the bonus).
Bobby Ryan is a keeper in this format for me.
Eventually, Selanne retires and a goal-scorer like Bobby Ryan could light it up in this format.
Keeping a goalie is all about league size.
In a 10-team league, I'm not sure I'd even keep Quick.
In a 14-team league, I'm definitely keeping Quick and possibly Hiller or Holtby.
How many teams in this league?
yah it's a 10 team league, maybe I substitute Ryan for Quick, and have four forwards and 1 dman?
I also don't have that 2nd pick, so I gotta be aware of that. I think picking up someone like OEL later in the draft would be good. I know no one in my league is high on him, and the team that does have him has Karlsson and Subban as keepers along with Rinne and the rest of his team sucks haha
Green scores again! Still pondering him as a keeper
I'll try haha, just dreaming of him beating out Karlsson in D scoring and him being on my team!
also sorry to spam my own thread with so many posts, but just had the shittiest trade of all time go down. A team with Stamkos and Ovechkin already just got Tavares AND Brian Campbell for Zidlicky, Hartnell and Pacioretty :s Thinking of just completely quitting the league after something like that. What do you guys think? His teams already in first and now has 3 top 5 picks as his keepers? Shouldn't have happened but our league didn't have the veto option.
