Help with keepers

[sniper101]

Guys ( Sorry for the long post) i need help selecting my 5 keepers in my h2h point based league, we use cbssports, so positioning is different then usual.

10 teams, 15 active players (3C, 3LW, 3RW, 4D, 2G). 4 bench players( 1C,1RW, 1LW 1D). Keep 5 players.

Rules:

+/-	Plus Minus	0.2 points
A	Assists	1 point
BS	Blocked Shots	0.1 points
DG	Defenseman Goals	0.25 points
G	Goals	1.5 points
GA	Goals Against	-0.25 points
GWG	Game Winning Goals	1 point
HT	Hat Tricks	0.5 points
Hits	Hits	0.05 points
Maj	Majors	0.75 points
OL	Overtime Losses	0.5 points
PIM	Penalty Minutes	0.05 points
S	Saves	0.04 points
SHG	Short Handed Goals	1 point
SHOG	Shootout Goals	0.5 points
SHOL	Shootout Losses	0.5 points
SO	Shut Outs	2 points
W	Wins	2 points

My team from last year:

C: Stamkos
C: Seguin
C: Couture
C: Little
LW: Kunitz
LW: Burns ( was LW i think next year he will be D)
LW: Parise
LW: Moulson
RW: Callahan
RW: Semin
RW: Nishushkin
RW: Stempniak
D: Giordano
D: Shattenkirk
D: Yandle
D: Green
D: Krug
G: Crawford
G: Niemi

Keep 5, 4 of them are pretty easy: stamkos, seguin, kunitz, parise, but then it gets harder, rw is the weakest position in our league, but i dont have a legitimate rw keeper. So i need your help with my last keeper, Crawford? Couture? or even Nishushkin?

Thanks.

That is tough. I do agree that Stamkos, Seguin, Kunitz are locks. Me personally I always keep a goalie unless they are abundant in your 1st round, which perhaps they are in a 10 man league, for me that locks Crawford.

So I have Stamkos, Seguin, Kunitz, Crawford and then 1 left. Parise is the easy choice however I really like Nichushkin's situation next season so if you do want a RW next season he's who I would roll with, keep both if you don't like keeping Crawford. My preference is to always keep 1 solid goalie.

10 teams keep 5.. Do not keep any of your goalies... Look at picking Allen or Gibson late in hopes they emerge.. Yandle is tough to not keep, but only 5, nope... Look at hedman or trouba in the draft for maybe a keeper... Keep 5 with 10 teams, tons of draft options.. I'm a gambler, I'm taking nish on that last spot. Most will say proven over potential (and I can't argue it ), I'm just digging that kid as a star and sometimes I take that chance

my issue is that i dont have a 1st round pick this year. I really like Nish, but with 10 teams league I feel like gambling and picking him up in the second round. As for yandle, hes not really strong in our format, since he doesn't hit or block shots, definitely not keeping him. I dont believe Crawford is a top 5 goalie, but a top 10 with a great team, thats what I'm having a hard time not selecting him, then not having a first round to pick up a good goalie.

In h2h goalies are not nearly as much as in a roto because of the volatility. It really sucks to not have that first ( I'd suggest not trading it ever again unless a stud keeper is coming back).. I'm still sticking with your four and nish... The rest of your team seems easily redraft able to me.

I know it wasn't my smartest trade, but I was going for the win and traded my 1st for Crawford and shattenkirk. I feel like in my league guys like okposo,wheeler and simmonds will go before Nish, in that matter I could draft him later. But thanks for you input, I'm really high on that kid too. I would rather keep on of my higher picks to draft a stud D, instead of a 2 tier goalie. That's why I'm leaning towards Crawford

With two goalies, I almost think you have to go with Crawford. If you keep another forward/dman and don't have a first rounder, you are likely using two of your first three picks on goalies.........if goalies are easy to redraft then my hunch is keep Couture.

Cheers.
