Forgot to mention, all teams will be keeping at least 2 goalies, so keeping Quick and Holtby is a necessity.
So here is my situation. Just looking for some advice. Second year keeper league, we have expanded from 5 keepers to 15 for this year. Starting after our draft, we will also have a 3 man farm team. Players can stay on the farm until they are 23. But once removed from the farm, cannot be returned. Players on the farm are not required to have a keeper slot used on them. Here is my roster, trying to decide who to keep. There are no position requirements. Full roster is 25, I am fine rolling 2 goalies, and like to carry 7/8 defense
Giroux
Nash
Getzlaf
Couture
Hartnell
M.Koivu
Pominville
Paciorertty
Lupul
Burns
Williams
Gallagher
Iginla
Granlund
Kuznetsov
Streit
Pieterangelo
Dougie Hamilton
Jack Johnson
Erik Johnson
Jacob Trouba
Quick
Holtby
Thanks in advance for the advice. Im interested to see how others would play this out.
As an aside, In the draft I have the following draft picks,
1st- none
2nd- 2
3rd- 3
4th- 2
5th- 1
9th- 1
10th - 1

Who is still on your farm?
Sorry for not being clear.
Our Farm is not yet in place. After this seasons draft we will be allowed to place up to 3 players on our farm team. The only requirement being, they must be 22 or under at the start of the season.
I had 2 ways of looking at my keepers, 1 with no intention of building my farm,
Giroux
Nash
Getzlaf
Couture
Hartnell
M.KoivuPominville
Paciorertty
Lupul
Burns
Williams
Gallagher
Iginla

Or 1 going with some more youth.

I should also add that since we are an espn league, Burns does NOT have dual eligibility. He is RW only. I am a little reluctant to let Trouba go as I dont think I will have a shot at reaquiring him in the draft without a first round pick. Also, I have a hard time not keeping Lupul considering all of the catagories he brings to the table.

Yeah, I'm absolutely stumped, lol.
No positional requirements, and head to head with a zillion categories.
Have you tried fantasyhockeygeek.com?
Or at least run the numbers on these players over the couple years?
There are too many factors at play to just give an eyeball answer to this, for me anyways.
