    Default Is Mikael Granlund worth a keep over older Staples?

    Hey guys.

    First league in sig. Trying to figure out my last keepers. I have a few definites and a bunch of potentials......

    One who stands out in my mind is Mikael Granlund. I want to keep him but part of my gut is saying this may be a fluke season and I'm better off keeping another more "proven" guy.....

    Some of those types of guys are

    Weber, Keith, Towes, Neal, O'Reilly


    For the record, my definites are...

    Jones, Dubnyk, Subban, Hedman, Crosby, Matthews, Kessel


    What are your guys thoughts on Granlund? Is he finally a sustainable star?

    I would certainly keep him over Neal and Zetterberg. Zetterberg especially given his age and declining team.

    Top 9F, 4D & 1G . Keep 15, Max 23
    F: J. Robertson, J. Hughes, Tavares, Lafreniere, Cozens, Newhook, Teravainen, Domi, R. Strome, Laine, Rossi, Raymond, Holtz, Perfetti
    D: Bouchard, McAvoy, Morrissey, Heiskanen
    G: Vasilevskiy

    Ya Zetterburg isn't a choice of mine. Neither are the Sedins. Just debating between the ones I posted above. Good to hear your opinion over Neal though...

    I definitely keep Granlund over Neal. Before Granlund made the leap across the pond, he was considered the best player outside the NHL. To me, he just took a little longer to reach his potential. Also, he took off with a new coach, so unless his situation changes, I'd consider Granlund a keeper.

    Thanks.

    Neal is barely on my list......Even less now.

    It's mostly between the other guys and Granlund.

    Weber and Granlund would be my next two choices. Then the last pick is between Keith and O'Rielly for me.
