Keeper help for next season

[Teh Doktor]

I can keep 12 players. $55 salary cap.

13 teams. 13F, 6D, 2G

Roto: G, A, PIM, +/-, PPG, Goalie wins

Pretty sure I'm keeping:

1. Giroux $4.50
2. Neal $4.50
3. Tavares $6.50
4. MacKinnon $3.25
5. Dubinsky $1.75
6. Pacioretty $2.50
7. Voracek $2.25
8. Byfuglien $4.50 (stays at D no matter what)
9. Hedman $1.25
10. Karlsson $4.25

That's $35.25 leaving $19.75 for 11 players.

I can hang on to two of the following:

11. Eberle $5.50
12. Krejci $2.50
13. Palat $2.50
14. Gudas $0.75
15. Zuccarello $2.50
16. Downie $2.00
17. Barrie $2.50
18. Shattenkirk $2.00
19. Pavalec $2.50

I lose everyone that isn't listed, or they aren't worth mentioning.

Thanks for the help

I would lean towards Krejci and one of Gudas/Shatty/Barrie personally. What is the quality of goalies to redraft, are many teams keeping goalies? Pavalec doesn't seem worth keeping imo.

[Teh Doktor]

The goalie situation is disturbing.

Quick and Lundqvist go back in the draft. Teams can only keep one goalie.

I suspect that Mason, Lehtonen, Luongo, Toronto's Goalies, Anderson, Smith, Howard, and one of Halak/Miller will be available.

[Teh Doktor]

Looking at today's ramblings, Thomas, Nabokov, and Ward will also be available.

that Byfuglien price seems awful high

[lucifer316]

12-15 and 18 all deserve consideration over the rest of the list imo

rest of the cut list that is

that Byfuglien price seems awful high

Now you got me thinking. Maybe if I cut him loose, the +/- might drop his value at auction.

However, if he stays at forward, he'll have to be drafted at forward and his goals/PPG/PIM's are all gold as a defenseman (in our league).

.25 more than Karlsson seems like a bit much for 50 extra PIMs, 3 extra PPGs and 18 fewer assists

maybe awful was the wrong adjective but it does seem a bit high to me

True, but the price is dependant upon when they were drafted, and the contracts I signed them to.

Byf was drafted as an established player, just after he was traded, and his coach announced he was moving from forward back to defense - likely lowering his value. Plus many people didn't know about the move - a lot of discussion was generated at the draft.

Karlsson was drafted the year of his breakout. He had just come off a 30 pt season where his +/- was near -40 or something. I got him for one step above league minimum, then signed him last season to the longest possible contract.

If he were to enter the draft this year, I would guess he would go for $7-10.

Some defenseman in our league:
Subban 3.75 two years ago
Phaneuf 3.00
Weber 5.25
Yandle 4.75
Chara 4.50
Boyle 3.50
Schultz 4.00 (two years ago, before he played NHL)
Streit 3.50

[lucifer316]

ok that's fine it just seemed high compared to Karlsson and especially high compared to Shatty, i mean i don't know about 2.5 times the worth of Shatty

but hey compared to some of those other deals listed he isn't all that bad, especially Schultz wow that hit is terrible

[Teh Doktor]

I don't disagree with you that it's a bit high. Looking through that list, I wasn't aware that Byf is tied for the third highest salary - now I'm really thinking.

Might have to see what happens this summer.
