    Default Only 2 Keepers to pick, but who??

    14 team league, get 2 keepers for next season. I won our pool this year. My top canidants are Backes, Crawford, Chara, Nyquist, Gudas. Some arguments could be made for other players too, but I'm having a tough time choosing just 2. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

    Out of curiosity, who were your 2 first picks? Crawford and Staal?

    Backes and Crawford. Backes because our stats make him the 5th most valuable forward this season.

    Ideally, in such a limited keeper you would want to concentrate your talent a bit more, but I can see how that might be hard to do in a keep 2. If you can't trade up, I would keep Backes and Crawford.

    Staal & Crawford.

    You keep your best G and I'd keep Staal over Backes ( but it's a tough decision to make ).

    I like Backes multi cat production, but Staal delivers in those same areas as well and has higher point upside. Idealy, you want the high end point scorers first and Staal will outpoint Backes. He also still deilvers in Pim and FOW, TOI, SOG ( alot) and PPP.
