My first impression is to drop Kuznetsov. I do believe he will improve upon his points total of this year, but he won't help much with your PIM or hits categories.
I have 21 bolded but can only keep 20... would you change any? or which 1 of my 21 would you drop? I have someone in mind but just curious what others think.
Forwards: A. Ovechkin, D. Sedin, C. Giroux, C. Perry, J. Benn, J. Pavelski, Z. Parise, D. Backes, M. Pacioretty,
K. Okposo, D. Krejci, M. Granlund, C. Kreider, O. Palat, E. Kuznetsov, J. Drouin, R. O’Reilly, A. Lee, B. Marchand
Defence: D. Doughty, O. Ekman-Larsson, N. Kronwall, J. Carlson, R. McDonagh, T.J. Brodie
Goalies: T. Rask, C. Crawford, C. Schneider, J. Gibson, F. Andersen
Can you still trade? Because if you do, even though you're in a 6 team league, I'm sure you could find a way to package two of your keepers for an upgrade solving your problems!
If trading is not a possibility, I think it comes down to Palat,Kuznetsov and Drouin. I'd drop Kuznetsov personally.

That's a tough one. im leaning on Kuznetzov despite a possible leap, all the other skaters are there ready. Obviously keep a close eye on the hawks and ducks goaltending situations but there seems to be high value on goalies I your league so they're likely keepers. I can't imagine Krieder not being a monster in that set up as well. He should be worth contemplating as well.
Yep... it's a little complicated with it being an auction too... i didn't post that as I was just curious what people thought without that to factor in... Ovechkin and Perry are quite high and I'm tempted to dangle one of those, with the hope of getting them back... but that came back to bite me with Ovechkin last year... ended up paying MORE for him after the year he had... but glad I was able to get him back with the bounce back year he had

I like your picks. I might try to find a way to keep Kreider, but I'm not sure who I'd drop for him. I still think Kuznetsov has a Tarasenko-like career path in him.

I would seriousy consider parting ways with Rask as I think someone with goalie issues will be willing to overpay for him. Besides the Ducks tandem and Schneider has you in a very solid position
Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.
