    I'd take team Team 5. They'll win more of the scoring cats, and then I'd worry about the other categories with my other forwards/dmen.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    Team 1 or 5 for me. Probably leaning toward team 5 just because you have two top 5 players in there plus Seguin. Team 1 has a bit more depth though top to bottom and Perry is a beast in your format.

    Teams 1, 2, and 5 are all very strong.
    I can't separate them... they are very, very good.
    With Crosby/Neal, Team 3 is also (deceptively) very close to this group... as Brouwer/Foligno are pretty solid in PIM/HIT leagues.

    Team 4 & 6 are a tier below.

    Team 7 is not even close to being competitive with these teams... not now... maybe in 2016-2017... way too far away to wait.
    RNH & Skinner as best players in a PIM/HIT league - yeesh, awful.

    1,2,5 are all dengerously good. you cannot go wrong with either of these options.

    5 - two of the "big 5" plus seguin and pavelski
    2 - five rock solid options in the top 15 fantasy players
    1 - OV, a crosby leech, and 3 up and coming young studs

    you cant go wrong here but if a have to choose im choosing team 5

    1, 2, and 5 are very solid. It'd be hard to pick the favourite out of those. They are close in my opinion, I would be happy with any of those three group of forwards.

    I’d take 5 because you have the 2 of the top players, seguin who will continue being almost a ppg player, Paves whos having a solid yr on a solid team (but I’d trade while his value is high), and kadri who has a lot of talent, just needs to translate it now. The only knock on team 1 is st Louis for me. As an owner of St Louis, I really feel like his best days are behind him now. Maybe the cold of NY has affected his old joints now. As for the peripheral categories (PIM, Hits, Blocks) it’s easy to fill those will role players

    I agree with the others here - Teams 1,2 and 5 are a cut well above the others. Tough to choose between them.

    Malkin′s tryst with being a band aid boy is the only concern I have about Team 5, otherwise what a top 5 to have!

    Agree with 2014oly that St.Louis is the 1 major question mark for Team 1.

    Give me #2. Ovi is an absolute beast in any league that counts hits.....his combination of offense and massive hit totals is unparalleled. Throw in PPG, and he likely edges out Crosby as the most valuable player in that format. Add in Benn, Couture, and Kunitz, and you will be absolutely dominant in G, PPG, Hits. G and PPG are 2 of the toughest categories to fill, so you'd be looking really good there. You could very easily build around this bunch by targeting some assist-heavy producers and some grit with the redraft. Some solid multi-cat dmen and you'd be looking mighty nice

    1. Stamkos, Perry, P Kane, Toews, St Louis
    5. Malkin, Tavares, Seguin, Pavelski, Kadri

    These two are the best options. #1 has 4 guys who are elite options whereas #5 has 3 elite options + an overachiever + a bum.
