i would be keeping tarasenko over either skinner or van riemsdyk. probably drop van riemsdyk, since skinner might hit 40 goals over the next couple of seasons.
Hey, guys!
I'm taking over a last place team in the infamous "The Untouchables" league over at LWL. It is a keep-five, H2H categories (G, A, +/-, SOG, PIM, FW, PPP, SHP, HIT, BLK / W, GAA, SV, SV%, SHO). Our keeper deadline set for the 9/11/14, so I need your help with setting my keepers. Here's what I have to work with:
Draft Picks
1st (6) -- 3rd (30) (33) -- 4th (43) -- 5th (51) (53) (55) -- 6th (61) (72) -- 7th (75) -- 12th (134) -- 13th (150) (151) -- 14th (168) -- 15th (174) --16th (187)
Initial Keep-five
Antti Niemi (G) -- Overall Goalie Rank: 11th
Zach Parise (LW) -- Overall Avg Rank: 30th -- Feeder Avg Rank (G, A, SOG): 17th
Max Pacioretty (LW) -- Overall Avg Rank: 52nd -- Feeder Avg Rank: 16th
James van Riemsdyk (LW) -- Overall Avg Rank: 41st -- Feeder Avg Rank: 29th
Jeff Skinner (LW/RW) -- Overall Avg Rank: 153rd -- Feeder Avg Rank: 21st
*NOTE: all ranks/averages based off last year's statistics*
The Rest
Johan Franzen (LW/RW)
Brian Campbell (D)
Jaden Schwartz (LW)
Ryan Callahan (RW)
Vladimir Tarasenko (RW)
Alexander Edler (D)
Jack Johnson (D)
Justin Williams (RW)
Derick Brassard (C)
David Clarkson (RW)
Tyler Ennis (C/LW)
Karri Ramo (G)
Viktor Fasth (G)
I'm focusing on guys who are really strong at the feeder categories (G, A, SOG). So am I set or do you see something I should change?

I would consider Tarasenko very close to Skinner in a keeper, and you're going to enjoy cheering for (I assume) your favourite player A LOT more than some guy from Carolina.

I think you've got it right, unfortunately you don't have any A-Listers on your keeper list except for potentially Niemi (and I'd be looking to shop him), so depending on your draft strategy you may have to look at consolidating talent through-out the season.

As soon as I'm allowed, I'll be repping you all for your comments; thank you so much!
I'm a little stunned with all the love for Tank. I usually am ridiculed for my love for Tank in my leagues. I own him in all of them, haha!
I will consider Tank over Skinner.. I still think Skinner is due for a great season.
