a keeper question thread

[tripel]

am bored, so thought id throw this out there...
came within 2 SOG or 1G of the championship this year, and have been transitioning to a younger team (moving away from guys like H Sedin, Marleau, Quick ...acquired Eichel, Barrie, Trouba, drafted Marner...)
but now have tricky keeper decision -- see below for league stats, we keep 14 skaters, max 2 goalies.
For some reason I can't update my signature -- so here's the current team.

C: Pavelski, Eichel, Marner, Teravainen, Zibanejad
W: Wheeler, Okposo, Atkinson, Nyquist, Parise, Pearson, Marleau
D: Barrie, Trouba, Yandle, Gio, Vlasic, Goli
G: Bob, Helle, Mason, Varly

I think i keep the first 4 D and let Vlasic & Goli go (maybe get something for Vlasic, but doubt it)
but then it's interesting if you look at Dobber's recent rankings -- if i could only keep 8 of the next 11, which 3 to cut? (surely not Okposo?) Im leaning towards Teuvo, Pearson ...and then am torn btw Nyquist and Parise...

8	Jack Eichel
23	Blake Wheeler
26	Mitch Marner
30	Joe Pavelski
45	Cam Atkinson
80	Mika Zibanejad
91	Teuvo Teravainen
94	Gustav Nyquist
96	Kyle Okposo
100	Tanner Pearson
134	Zach Parise

anyway, all thoughts welcome, cheers.....

ps -- assuming Bob & Helle..... but Mason was a late add who nearly carried me to the cup, and Varly may be the VGK starter .....while seems Helle's status in Wpg not as solidified as I might like..... Crazy to not consider Helle #2G?

Varly is protected by Col. Bob and Helle are your goalies.

Of the forwards I would cut Parise (no doubt), then Okposo and Nyqvist.

Nickle and Diming here but I would likely Cut Parise and Nyqvist before Okposo. but 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of the other. Essentially agree with our Eskimo Brother.

thanks for the replies -- are you guys saying keep Pearson & Teuvo over Okposo & Nyquist, Parise?

would mean 5C and only 3W, one of whom is Pearson...

Dobber's list is for points only, your league also counts shots, BS and PPP. So it's not apples to apples.

How many do you start at each position? That could make a difference.

You write that you've moved away from Marleau, but listed him on your team. You also write 8 of 11, but list 12. So I am guessing Marleau actually is gone?

I think I'd drop Teuvo, Parise and then coin flip between Pearson and Nyquist. I'd need to see their periph stats, that's a close call for me.
