    - Kane (assuming its Patrick)
    - Forsberg
    - Burns
    - OEL
    - Doughty
    - Murray
    - Allen

    * It's a toss up with your last one between Giroux, Hall and Werenski. I would probably go with Hall

    Scoring Cats: G-A-PTS-PPG-PPA-(+/-)-HITS-BLK-SHP-SOG-FOW-GWG / W-L-SVS-SV%-GAA-SO

    C- Crosby, Barzal, Bennett, Schmaltz, Novak
    W- Forsberg, Batherson, Nichuskin, Tuch, Konecny, Maccelli, Sharangovich, Bertuzzi, Kaliyev, Neighbours, Reichel
    D- Carlson, Rielly, Klingberg
    G- Hellebuyck, Demko, Merzlikins, Vejmelka

    Minors:
    F: Fantilli, Cooley, Bourgault, Perreault, Cowan, Ohgren, N. Foote, Goyette, Iskhakov, Denisenko, Tracey
    D: Simashev, Willander, Lambos
    G: Schmidt, Rodrigue, DiPietro, Gaudreau, McKay

    I agree with the above list, siding slightly with Hall.

    Feels wrong to keep 4D and 2F. But if you did keep Werenski, you could just focus hard on drafting Fs.

    Patty Kane
    Forsberg
    Schenn (going to be a monster in your league setup)
    Burns
    Doughty
    Murray
    Allen
    Hall/Giroux (leaning Hall though)


    I'm just so tired of taking chances on OEL. I'm off the ferris wheel.

    Someone has offered me Kesser or Panarin in exchange for Werenski. Would any of these 2 make it in my top 8?

    Take Panarin and roll the dice on him or look to trade him plus a keeper for anupgrade keeper. You have some good assets to try and move before you lose them. In fact now you know he wants Werenski, is there a better keeper hes has for you to go after on a 2-1?

    He also has Pastrnak and Wheeler. Not sure if available but I could ask. I don't think a 2-1 trade would work. It's already difficult to cut down to 8 keepers so it wouldn't make sense for him.

    Wheeler is pretty darn nice in this set up

    Regardless of any trade, my top 8 initially was:

    Kane
    Forsberg
    Giroux
    Burns
    OEK
    Doughty
    Werenski
    Murray

    Leaving Allen, Hall, Schenn and Radulov on the table. Not sure what to expect of Werenski. He's not big on hits but high potential on pts and stp. What do you think?
