    Default Conacher, Silfverberg, Kassian: which 2?

    Points only keeper, 10 teams, 30 man rosters. I've narrowed it down to these 3, but on have room to keep 2 of them.

    Conacher has great AHL numbers and started hot last year. Less than 0.5 PPG after the trade though. Silfverberg has a fresh start, but a ton of question marks on ANA, especially in their top 6 and with their prospects. Kassian could play with the Sedins if the Burrows/Kesler reunite happens. I'm struggling, thoughts?

    For me, Silfverberg is the #1 choice by a mile. I really like him.

    I would probably take Kassian as my #2, as I really like his game, and I don't think we've seen all of what he can bring to the Canucks yet.

    Conacher is a feisty little guy, but I think he's 3rd on this list for me.

    Kassian loses some of his value since this is a points only league, so I would go with Silfverberg and Conacher on this one. Pretty easy call for me actually.

    Silfverberg and Conacher for me, but there's a chance that Kassian will play with the Sedins with Burrows being paired with Kesler.

    I would take Silfverberg and Conacher.

    Kassian would be a close third, but I believe he's still at least a year away from posting decents enough points to keep.
    Weekly H2H points only (Year 9 - 2015-16)
    12 teams limited keeper (keep 6 + 1 Rookie)
    13 round draft - Unlimited Trades - No Waivers - No IR
    4 Team Playoffs (last 2 reg. season weeks)
    Rookies are 23 years old or younger in the draft year and never reached 60pts (forward), 40pts (defense), 25 wins (goalie)


    Start : C RW LW Utility D D G
    Points : A - G = 1 pt W = 2 pts SO = 1pt

    C - S.Stamkos, J.Thornton, K.Turris, D.Stepan
    LW - O.Palat, B.Saad, A.Burakovsky
    RW - B.Wheeler, T.Toffoli, C.Atkinson
    D - E.Karlsson, S.Gostisbehere, C.Fowler, A.Ekblad, A.Larsson
    G - C.Hellebuyck, D.Dubnyk, A.Niemi, K.Lehtonen

    I agree Kassian would be the odd man out here but he does have big potential if he ends up with the twins. I would wait this one out as long as you can to see if kassian does line up with the twins in the pre-season.

    regardless of format, Silfverberg and Conacher run away with it.

    Thanks for all the input. Silfverberg was never really in question, so I kept him. I also went with Kassian.

    1) I think he will play with the Sedins this year, and have a 40-45 pt season. Conacher is by far the more skilled guy, but I don't think he breaks 50 this year or next either.

    2) We're a Van based league, so Kassian has a higher trade value (if he's playing well) due to the local coverage.

    This definitely swings the vote from Conacher to Kassian for me. Well I prefer Conacher slightly in any other league, Kassian's "perceived value" will be through the roof. I definitely sell high on him though early in the season if he starts producing alongside the Sedins.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".
