    Default Who should be my Keepers?

    We are only able to have 7 Keepers. I have a good idea of my top 8-9, but I'm torn between between Nyquist and Barkov. Gally is also a great prospect.
    Also, I know Byfuglien will be my only D keeper, so I'm not going to post the rest of my D core.

    C - Bergeron
    C - Pavelski
    C - Galchenyuk
    C - Barkov
    LW - Skinner
    LW - Nyquist
    LW - Hartnell
    RW - Neal
    RW - Oshie
    RW - Parenteau
    D - Byfuglien
    G - Niemi
    14 Team | Keep 5 | H2H Weekly Lock
    Start: 2 x C, LW, RW | 4 x D | 1 x G

    Scoring System:

    +/- (0.5), G (3), A (2), PIM (0.25), PPG (1), PPA (1), SHG (2), ShG (1), BLK (0.1), HIT (0.1), GWG (1), HT (2)
    W (5), SHO (3), S (0.2), GA (-1), ShSv (0.2)

    Default Re: Who should be my Keepers?

    Byfuglien, Niemi, Neal, Pavelski, Nyquist, Barkov, and to be honest I would rather keep a 2nd G or if that fails a 2nd D. But if the options really suck, then I would go Galchenyuk

    I'm really surprised Dobber left Skinner of the list. He's LW and in your categories with SOG is a must own. And has a 75+ ceiling.

    Don't keep Skinner:
    a) he's really just shown flashes, he's never crossed the 65-point hump
    b) your league counts plus/minus, and that's not gonna fix for him soon
    c) he's a Band-Aid Boy

    Skinner wouldn't even be on my Keep 10 list, let alone Keep 7

    No love for Oshie either eh.
    Too much depth in St. Louis?

    Maybe, but he's also only 21 years old and the fact he has put up 63 pts and a pace for almost that again this year is impressive. He's also escaped missing any serious time in 3 of his 4 seasons. And now it looks like he will either be riding with at least one of E. Staal or Lindholm going forward, which is a nice situation to be in. Considering at the very least you are getting a guy that takes 4 shots per game and is capable of getting 60 pts, with a ceiling of 75+, I don't see how you can't take him.

    Injury concerns don't seem to bother you with Malkin. Why would they bother you with Skinner who is still young and developing, and is less risk (as in, if he DOES get injured, he's easier to replace than an elite like Malkin)
