    Default Keep 4. Who are they?

    Limited keeper league that is in my signature. We are able to keep players for three seasons in a row then either trade them of lose them to FA before the beginning of the four season. I have noted the years kept next to the players, if blank then never kept. I would like to move forward with a goalie, for sure.

    Stats: G, A, PPP, PIM, SOG, Hits, BS - W, Sv%, GAA, SO

    Pick four out of this group to move forward next year:

    Backstrom (1) - Washington
    Pavelski
    Giroux (2)
    Lundqvist (1)
    Getzlaf
    Kunitz
    Weber
    P. Kane
    Niemi

    Thanks for your thoughts!

    Wow, some tough choices here and I am sure you will get some differing responses. Personally, my choices will be:

    Lundqvist
    Giroux
    PKane
    Getzlaf
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    Damn. Some spicy options there. Assuming you've got Backstrom, Giroux and Lundqvist locked in I think you keep Getzlaf. Pretty strong argument to be made that he was your league's MVP last year. Can you swap picks? Might be a good time to sell high on him.

    You might consider taking Backstrom out of that group and keeping Weber. Or Kane but probably Weber.

    Tough calls here. Some almost identical fantasy players.

    Lundqvist
    P. Kane
    Backstrom
    Giroux

    soo tough to leave sexy getzy out of this. maybe you take him over Backstrom instead. I don't know, it will probably change year to year who's considered 'better'.

    12 team H2H Most Cats Wins; Keep 6/winner keeps 7; G A PPP +/- SHP SOG HIT BLK PIM // W SV GAA SV% SHO
    3 C, 3 LW, 3 RW, 6D, 2G, 5 bench

    C - McDavid, Crosby, Tavares

    Getzlaf (C)
    Weber (D)

    Tough to not keep Backstrom or Pat Kane... but...

    When you only roster 7F (70F in league), you can't just go out and roster a dedicated hitter, you have to get some HITS built-into your scorers.
    Also, your D men need to be able to block shots - and there aren't a lot of scoring D-men that also block a lot of shots.

    I also love Chris Kunitz (LW) in this format.
    Probably more than Pat Kane and/or Nicklas Backstrom.

    Kunitz & Getzlaf are 70pt/80 PIM/100 HIT scorers.
    Especially at center, its hard to find a scorer/PIM/HIT guy not named Ryan Getzlaf or David Backes.

    These are my picks.

    I can sense your predicament. Darn good choices and the resulting pain associated with letting some really good options go. IMO, it comes down to 4 spots and 7 candidates (ignoring Pavelski and Niemi - not in the same league as these guys)

    My choices would be the same as P7 -
    Giroux - the best player of them all, according to me
    Getz - multi-cat stud
    Lundqvist - one average season does not make him any less of the stud goalie he is, and
    Weber - one of the truly elite Ds

    Feel bad to let Kunitz, Backstrom and P Kane go, but I don't think you have a choice.

    Great discussion here! Thanks for the responses....keep 'em coming, plz!

    @MD26, yes we can flip picks.

    Surprised that Getzlaf was not a lock for you all because of peripherals he adds. VERY intriguing discussion about Weber.

    I'll pull the FHG ranking and post it when I get home tonight.

    Getzlaf is a lock, I just think now might be the time to sell high. His goal-scoring this year will surely go down as a career high.

    Certainly tough decisions but with your scoring cats the choices are a bit clearer IMO:

    Weber: In your format...absolute BEAST, clearly a top five option maybe better
    Lundy: Still Elite, another top five option
    Getzlaf: Top 10 Roto numbers, the closest guy to him is Giroux and it's not even close
    Giroux: Next best Roto option and the offensive upside is huge, better than Kane, Pav or Backstrom IMO
    14 Team Roto; Keep 25; 12 F, 6 D, 2 G; 10 Farm; 5 Bench; 5 IR;

    Salary Cap - 102.5 Mil

    Scoring Cats: G, A, Pts, PIM, Hits, BS, SOG, F Points, D Points; Win+Ties+SO, GAA, SV%

    Keepers

    F: Aho, Larkin, DeBrincat, Vrana, Bennett, Scheifele, Kakko,Tolvanen, McBain,

    D: Heiskanen, Fox, Toews, Lundqvist

    G: Swayman, Andersen, Copley

    F: Gaudreau, Terravainen, Puljujarvi, Kravstov, Zary

    D: Brannstrom, Cernak, Alexeyev

    I would go with these 4:
    Lundqvist
    Giroux
    PKane
    Getzlaf
    if u can draft a team like u had this season u shouldnt be worried to giroux for another season and then trade him or try to get him back in the draft
