Who would you protect

[sharpp87]

NOT for the league in sig.

It is for a 10 GM keeper league dynasty POINTS ONLY
8F, 4D and 2G count...


I need to protect 11 players total

I already have protected :

P. Rinne
K. Lehtonen
PK Subban
V. Hedman
C. Fowler
N. Backstrom
R. Johansen
K. Turris
B. Little

for a total of 9.

I need 2 more out of them :

J. Pominville
P. Hornqvist
P. Datsyuk
R. Callahan
M. Ribeiro

What 2 do you keep ? or would you protect 3 more fowards and not protect Fowler ???

thanks for your opinions.

Yikes!! Datsyuk and Hornqvist?

[STLblues]

Datty for sure...but man i guess horny after that......

[SeaDawg]

Datsyuk and Ribeiro, I guess

Datsyuk for sure.

Tough choice between Ribeiro and Hornqvist.

I don't love keeping Fowler, but if you let him go, what dman would you be able replace him with, considering your league requires 4 dmen and you'd only have 3 left if you released him?

Assuming you can get an adequate replacement for Fowler, I might be inclined to drop him and keep all three forwards in question (Datsyuk, Hornqvist, and Ribeiro).

Until Ribeiro is definitely back in Nashville I'd avoid him - saw enough of Hornqvist early on for him to merit a second chance

datsyuk is the other

Last year at the draft a lot of dmen were available : Chara, J. Johnson, J. Carlson( we will be protected this year for sure), J. Wisniewsky, C. Ehrhoff, Spurgeon, Phaneuf, Edler, Maatta Demers, DeKeyser, Garisson etc...

Its tought to let go a yound d men like him who plays on a top NHL team

[Mr. Guru]

Horny and Pominville for me.....

Horny for sure, I was between Pominville and Callahan.

Let someone else deal with Datsyuks health.

[Axeman33]

Datsyuk and Pominville for me.

[Zorro]

I would want Hornqvist and Datsyuk, but I would be trading Datsyuk ASAP..

I could be wrong, but I don't see much offensive upside with Fowler. I think he is a 35-40 pt guy. Hard to say if that is easier to find in the draft than a 50-55 pt forward (Hornqvist, Pominville).

To be clear, Ribeiro and Datsyuk are the only two on your list clearly capable of achieving 60+ pts. Even with Datsyuk's injuries and age, he is easily going to get you more points than Hornqvist and Pominville. I think your decision is between Fowler at 35-40 pts and Hornqvist or Pominville at 55 pts. Personally, I like Hornqvist here because Crosby had a down year and if he returns to 90-100 pts, he could drag Hornqvist up to the 60+ pt range.

Keep Datsyuk, Horny, and Pominville. Drop Fowler IMO.

[Hoopo]

I would take Datsyuk, Hornquist, and Ribeiro
