    Default 5th and 6th keepers upgrade - need help

    FTeam and league settings in sig - Points only

    My top 4 keepers are set: Malkin, Ovechkin, Stamkos and Price.
    After that, if I don't make any moves, I would keep Parise and probably Josi.
    I'm in trade talks with a couple of gms to see if I could upgrade my 5th and 6th keepers. Preferably, I would like to start the draft with 5 forwards and Price.
    For now, I think I could probably get 1 or 2 of the following players for close to nothing (really late picks, player swap or even picks upgrade on my side).
    I have a hard time ranking these players with the ones I already have.
    If you could help me with that...
    Two rankings would be preferable, one for forwards and one for dmen.
    I'm in a win now mode. I won my league last year and I would like to repeat.

    Forwards:
    Parise
    Nash
    Spezza
    Okposo
    Stepan
    Palat
    Nyquist
    Kuznetsov
    Foligno (or any of the Forwards listed in my sig as bubble keeper)

    Dmen:
    Josi
    Klingberg
    Carlson
    Barrie
    Green

    Thank you for your help!

    I can't really disagree with keeping Parise and Josi, but if you are looking to gamble on hitting a home run instead of choosing the safest picks for those two spots, then I would consider taking Stepan or Kuznetsov instead of Parise, and Carlson or Barrie (barring any major d-man signing in Colorado) over Josi. Again, won't argue with with Parise or Josi, but you have some options to gamble on, in particular Carlson who should pick up Mike Green's PP minutes in Washington.

    With no bonus for d points I agree go with 5F and 1G.

    And with no extra weight given to goals, here's how I see the F:

    Okposo (but injury risk)
    Spezza (can't believe he stayed healthy last year)
    Palat (dude just produces)
    Stepan (will help if he plays with Nash)
    Nash (found his mojo again last year)
    Parise (love this guy... but MIN and no bonus for Gs/SOGs)
    Nyquist (argument could be made to bump him higher)
    Kuznetsov (good point in ramblings on him today that he may still be a year away)
    Foligno (would've had him higher but Saad might impact his offensive opportunities a bit)

    D:
    Green (If healthy, which he won't be all year, he's the top producer in points-only)
    Barrie (Right there with Green in upside)
    Josi (He or JC have best floor of group)
    Carlson (Again great floor, potential for more)
    Klingberg (Last only due to the quality of other D and limited track record)

    I would probably keep Okposo and Palat.

    I also like Parise, Josi and Carlson.

    The more I think of it, the more I'd prefer to start with 5F.
    And I don't think Foligno would make the cut.
    I'll need to swap Josi for a forward.
    If you take a look at Dobber top-300, that's what this looks like...
    29- Nash
    38- Stepan
    39- Okposo
    48- Parise
    49- Palat
    50- Kuznetsov
    56- Spezza
    59- Nyquist
    64- Foligno

    111- Carlson
    115- Josi
    139- Green
    149- Barrie
    178- Klingberg
    Keeper league (12 teams) - keep 6 (+ NHL team is auto keep)

    I would go with Okposo and Carlson.

    A healthy Okposo along side captain Tavares + a Greenless high-powered Capitals squad for Carlson make these 2 my picks.
    Keeper league 14 teams (H2H, 20 active players keep 16 NHLers, 16 minors)
    Scoring Cats: G-A-PTS-PPG-PPA-(+/-)-HITS-BLK-SHP-SOG-FOW-GWG / W-L-SVS-SV%-GAA-SO

    C- Crosby, Barzal, Bennett, Schmaltz, Novak
    W- Forsberg, Batherson, Nichuskin, Tuch, Konecny, Maccelli, Sharangovich, Bertuzzi, Kaliyev, Neighbours, Reichel
    D- Carlson, Rielly, Klingberg
    G- Hellebuyck, Demko, Merzlikins, Vejmelka

    Minors:
    F: Fantilli, Cooley, Bourgault, Perreault, Cowan, Ohgren, N. Foote, Goyette, Iskhakov, Denisenko, Tracey
    D: Simashev, Willander, Lambos
    G: Schmidt, Rodrigue, DiPietro, Gaudreau, McKay
