OEL for sure. Oshie would be the other one for me. He beats out Couture and Carter based on the positional eligibility. You already have three goalies, so no upside for you in keeping Schneider.
Team in the signature, keep 15. Coming off a championship so no real chance at redrafting anyone I don't keep. Also no takers yet on a 2-for-1 so here's the deal:
I think Atkinson, Backstrom, Barkov, Benn, Giroux, Kucherov, Ovi, Burns, Letang, Subban, Andersen, Talbot, and Vasilevskiy are essentially no-brainers.
That leaves me choosing two from: Couture, Carter, Oshie, OEL, and Schneider.
Working on some deals that would eliminate this decision for me but just in case they don't work out, I know who I'm leaning but the competition lurks these forums so I'm looking for input from you guys. Who would be your final two?

(No I don't have a hockey problem...)
Personally, I'd only keep 2 goalies. In a 10 team league you should be able to redraft a very good 3rd goalie.
I'd drop a goalie and keep OEL, Carter and Oshie
I wouldn't keep Atkinson but would keep Oshie, OEL, and Schneider. Then trade Schneider or one of your other goalies for someone who can cover most of the categories like Simmonds or Trochek.

OEL as I expect Letang to flake out at some point and one of Carter or Oshie.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
OEL is in the no brainer category for me. I expect him to bounce back big time.
I'd also shop Vas, assuming you could get a much bigger return that Schneider.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson (ARI) is no brainer for me as well. Logan Couture (SJ) would be my other choice.
Thanks everyone

Is Carter a C only?

You should be able to trade a goalie as you have 4 starters, gotta be someone needing a goalie. Schneider worth keeping. I would also drop Atkinson and Keep Couture, Oshie, & OEL.

I agree with the others about trading a G, whichever you can get the best return for (not including Talbot, who you keep for sure). Maybe see if you can package that G for a 2-for-1 upgrade somewhere.
I also agree with the others that OEL is the keeper on that list. The other would depend on what happens with a potential G trade.
Carter and OEL

Tried to throw two of Carter/Couture/Oshie/Schneider plus one of Anders Lee/Zetterberg at the guy with the first pick (and an awful team), but he wouldn't bite. Kinda shocked
