    Default Holtby or Murray?

    New rule in my league reduces the number of keepers from 9 to 6. I voted against it, but to no avail.

    This change puts me in a tough position on several players, but we'll stick with G here.

    I'm going to keep 1 D (OEL, Krug or Klingberg) and 4 F (likely Benn, Pavelski, Scheifele, Granlund).

    That leaves me with 1 G I can keep. I think Holtby or Murray are the top choices I currently own.

    Looking at my cats below, which one of those two do folks think is the best option? Thanks

    Why do you want to keep 4 forwards? I'd drop Granlund and keep both goalies here.

    But if you have to choose between the two goalies, then keep Holtby. There's no reason to roll the dice with Murray when you have Holtby.

    In a 12 team start 3G league, I'm keeping Holtby and Murray here. You're talking about guys who should be top 5 goalies for the next little while.

    Keep Holtby/Murray and draft a replacement F early.

    agree with all of the above. Think of it this way: Question, what kind of forward could you trade murray or holtby for after the start of the season? Answer, someone much better than Granlund.

    Also both. Granlund simply isn't a first round option in a 6 keeper league, where as Murray & Holtby are.

    On a similar note, I wouldn't be keeping a Dman in a 6-keeper league unless its a top option at the position. Perhaps Klingberg because things are looking real good of offensively in Dallas right now. No chance for Krug/OEL though

    I agree with the consensus here. Keeping Holtby and Murray is a no-brainer.

    This^^^

    Granlund is a prime candidate for regression based on sh% alone- and i feel like MM or Holtby could net you a much better forward by trade (or even just stand pat with two of the best keeper goalies in the league). I wouldnt force the issue of balancing keepers poitionally. Murray and Holtby is the play here imho...

    One more for the majority. Ditch Granlund.
