Couple Trades and Expansion Keepers

[maniacaniac]

Currently in a full keeper league with 14 teams. Expanding by 2 additional teams for the upcoming season. We get to protect 13 players from our roster of 22. Pretty much have this locked down, but figured I'd ask for some opinions and I'm really stuck on what to do with the 13th spot.

Protection List

1. Seguin, Tyler F DAL
2. Skinner, Jeff F CAR
3. Ehlers, Nicolaj F WPG
4. Brodie, T.J. D CGY
5. Faulk, Justin D CAR
6. Suter, Ryan D MIN
7. Duchene, Matt F COL
8. Leddy, Nick D NYI
9. Foligno, Nick F CBJ
10. Niederreiter, Nino F MIN
11. Jones, Martin G SJ
12. Fleury, Marc-Andre G PIT
13. Turris/Bjugstad/Palmieri F

Rest of roster is B. Sutter, D. Perron, J. Ward, B. Campbell, O. Maatta, P. Martin, J. Halak

I also have a deal in the works which would send Mackenzie Blackwood, Foligno, and a 2017 2nd Round pick (23rd) for Aho and Logan Couture.

You don't have Blackwood on this list, are you missing players you didn't list? That trade is great, very lopsided in your direction.

I would protect Turris for sure. Second choice Halak. Third choice Palmieri. Of course, if you do that trade then Aho takes Foligno's spot and Couture is your 13th

Sorry, we have a full minor league system with a completely different set of rules for our upcoming expansion. Blackwood is in the minors so he doesn't count against my roster. Thanks for the thoughts as it really helps.

Is this a points only league?

** Halak is the only one I would keep an eye on from the others. If you can wait before making your decision, I think it would be wise to see what happens with him in case he ends up with a crease somewhere, somehow...

That's a hell of a trade - out of interest what is the context as there must be some drawback to it?
