Final Keeper slot: Seguin, Weber, Kunitz??

[topoftheworld]

With Crosby and Getzlaf locked as two of my three keepers, I have been back and forth quite a few times on who my final keeper would be for the upcoming season and wanted to revisit it now that off season moves have been made.

Originally it came down to Seguin and Kunitz and I had decided to go with Seguin both for his future potential, as well as to diversify a bit away from Crosby. There were some positional changes in our league over the summer that have shifted some relative value a bit, and ESPN has revised some multi-positional eligibility and removed wing from Seguin, which was some of his value to me.

Generally I have stayed clear of the thought of keeping a D, but Weber is a monster in this format and is far and away the highest ranked D - currently listed at 3rd overall for our league on hockey geek. Am I insane to give him up, or do I stick with forward depth and pick up mid level D.

I finished 2nd last year and lost the finals by a last minute penalty in the final game of the season, so I was REALLY close.

It has to be Seguin. Kunitz is what, 10 years older? And Seguin is already a top 5 scorer in the league. Weber is a solid guy to have but I think I would rather take the superstar 80-90 pt forward before the 45-55 point dman, multicat and all.

Yea- gotta be Seguin. I have a tough time gouging though when the scoring gets long winded- lol! I mean Webers numbers are easily repeatable and if that made him 3rd best in your format- it would seem crazy to drop him.

I mean realistically- you should be able to trade Seguin for Weber++ if he was drafted by another team next year- but the hpg value makes things murky for me here...

seguin and benn were the top duo in the league. has to be seguin here.

Seguin, Weber is probably an easier redraft as well as Kunitz

[LawMan]

Has to be Seguin by a healthy margin. Weber is a monster but so is Seguin. Seguin is going to finish the season top-10 in scoring. By keeping Crosby/Getzlaf/Seguin you should have 3 of the top-10/15 scorers in the league. That's an unbelievable head start in: G, A, +/-, GWG, SOG, FOW, Special Team Points, ATOI. Use the rest of the draft to solidify: Hits, Blocked Shots, Penalty Minutes, as well as goaltending and you will be in business.

If you don't keep Seguin you'll be kicking yourself at the end of the year.

Gotta go with Seguin here, PIMs are easy to pick up in the draft if you target the right guys (Hartnell, Simmonds, Backes, Phaneuf, etc), but scoring over ppg is not.

[jcairns]

Yep. Go with Segs

[The Good Sir]

Another one for Seguin. I understand that Weber is a monster in your scoring cats, but Seguin is going to be a top 10 scorer again this year. It'll be easier to redraft Weber than Seguin I believe.

[Laendarian]

Yeah I can understand wanting to keep Weber, but Seguin is your guy. Weber you can probably redraft and likely later then you could with Seguin.

[wendelclark17]

Don't overthink this, Seguin is your third keeper.

[Coyote]

ill pil;e on top of this one, SEGUIN!

[sharpp87]

Seguin for sure

[havanablast21]

In the order you listed them. But Seguin is so far beyond the others, there's really no question here.

Thanks all! This affirms my gut feeling - it was the guru rankings of Weber so high with projections for next season along with his final standing of 7th overall in our league last year (Seguin was 16th and Kunitz 13th) combined with the projections for this season (Weber 3rd, Kunitz 15th, Seguin 42nd) that have me second guessing.
