Help me pick my Keep 5!
Despite what I think is a team of depth with not a lot of top-end keepers, I am in championship week and have begun thinking about who to keep. The Devan Dubnyk factor certainly doesn`t make it easy. Anyway, here is my current roster in order of their pre-draft rankings with the must-keeps in bold and last year's keepers in italics.
12 team league with your typical stat cats including GWG, SHP, hits and blocks. 10 skater stats and 4 goalie stats.
Kopitar
Neal
Letang
Spezza
Johansen
Turris
Krug
Kreider
Edler
Koivu
Stewart
Hudler
Toffoli
Foligno
Craig Smith
Beauchemin
Abdelkader
Brodie
Klingberg
Bishop
Halak (traded E Kane straight up to get him)
Dubnyk
Darling
I really don't know what to do after Kopi, Letang, and RyJo.
Re: Help me pick my Keep 5!
Tough choices!
For me it's something like ...
Definite keepers:
Johansen
Kopitar
Letang
Possible Keepers:
Bishop
Dubnyk
Hudler
Klingberg
Borderline:
Neal
Spezza
Turris
Foligno
Toffoli
Brodie
I would try and consolidate talent in the offseason. But if you can't I'd go with: Kopitar, Johansen, Hudler (might get some flak for this one), Letang, Bishop

Re: Help me pick my Keep 5!
I would try and deal Letang in a 2-1 upgrade with one of your goalies. I would keep all 3 goalies as it would be easier to trade one next year for a stud player. There is always teams with no goaltending that you will be able to trade with.
Halak
Bishop
Dubnyk

Re: Help me pick my Keep 5!
10 skater stats vs 4 goalie stats in a 12 team league. No way I'm keeping 2 goalies. Upgrading a skater would be an option but if all else fails:
Kopitar, Johanssen, Kreider, Letang, Bishop or Halak.
12 team Rotisserie league (No positional requirements: 7 Keepers of which 2 must be Farm eligible).
Active Roster consists of: 6 FW, 4 D, 2 G and 6 Bench.
Scoring Cats: G (10x), A (10x), SOG (10x), HT (10x), BS (10x), PIM (10x), TK (10x), +/- (5x); W (10x), SV (10x), SO (5x)
FW: Draisaitl, Pastrnak, Keller, Jarvis, Barbashev, Kyrou, Raymond
D: Dobson, Nurse, Sergachev, Andersson, Zadorov, York
G: Oettinger, Raanta, Copley, Vejmelka
IR: Hamilton
Farm (165 games for F/D and 100 games for G): Wolf, Fantilli
Re: Help me pick my Keep 5!
Kopitar and R. Johansen are definite keepers.. I would then throw a wrench in your other GM's plans and keep the 3 starting goalies you own.. Your options seem very limited.. Might be time to rebuild this ship!!
I would trade Letang and maybe even package him up with one of these goalies for someone you covet..
I would also make sure Dubnyk resigns in Minnesota before you deem him a keeper..
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Re: Help me pick my Keep 5!
Actually I like the goalie handcuff seems the only thing you have abundance of. And like others have pointed out this a. Throws a wrench in their plan to neglect goalies and get their needs in the draft and b. You can usually flip a hot tender for a decent player.
Re: Help me pick my Keep 5!
I have a tough time saying Letang is a for sure.....he may be good when he's in the lineup....but how's he helping teams now? It's not a question of "if" with him but more of "when". It's a gamble I wouldn't want to take.
That being said.....I think I would keep...
Kopitar, Johansson
Neal and Spezza - I'd give them another year....too much talent to give up on...
Bishop or Halak - Dubnyk has been great but I wouldn't trust it to keep up.
