Tank and Karlsson for sure. Getting one of them at second round value is a steal. I could see a debate for Stamkos or Backstrom at round 3. I think I would keep Backstrom based on your setup and the reliability.
12 team league. Keep 6, max 1 goalie (don't need to keep a goalie, just can't keep 2).
2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 2G
H2H
G, A, Pts, (+/-), PIM, PPP, FW

Next yr to balance the league we?re switching to "keep 0-3 players" because it?s gotten very unbalanced the league. Pretty much you forfeit your draft picks for keepers.
My Team:
Tarasenko, Karlsson, Backstrom, Byfuglien, Stamkos, Marner, Josi, OEL, Aho, Spezza, Ekblad, Domi, Johnson, Trocheck, Dubinsky, Vasilevskiy, Andersen, Darling, Lehner, Markstrom.
Who do I keep? (I have 2 9th, and 2 10th round picks (rounds 3, and 4 after keepers).
12 Team, H2H, Keep 6 (in Bold)

RW: Pavelski (C), Giroux (C), Svechnikov (LW)
D: Fox, Makar, Bouchard, Morrissey, Gudas

So you still can keep six for this season? If so, I say Tarasenko, Karlsson, Backstrom, Stamkos, Marner, Andersen. Then draft the heck out of winger-eligible players who take faceoffs, like Zetterberg and RyJo.
If it's only keep 3 this season, then I'd go with EB's list.

Sorry for the 2017-18 season it's keep 6, 2018-19 season is the start of the re-balance.

Bump, any other suggestions? I'm trying to push for some deals. I've always liked Seguin and that owner is hurting for keepers, but my issue is I have a soft spot for Stamkos and Marner.
Is there any real reason to make a deal of like Buff+ (Josi/OEL) for Seguin?

I'm big on Andersen(TOR). I think the Leafs could be top 4 in the East.
In 2/2/2/4, gotta keep Buff.
You also definitely want to try to roster some FOW from your wingers.
I'd try to get a couple Anaheim players if you can.
One of my faves I just drafted is C/LW - Rickard Rakell. And then late draft Kesler, if people let him slide on injury.
I expect Rakell to be Anaheim C2 until Kesler is back, which could be lots of FOW from a LW position.
He's the kind of guy that might be there in the 9th (which is 97-108 picks) and I think Rakell is Yahoo 100 or so.
A quick look at goalies who will be available:
Player (O-Rank)
Jake Allen (32)
Rinne (37)
Duby (56)
Quick (57)
Bishop (58)
Vas (60)
Andersen(76)
then my guys of Marner/Josi/OEL, and Schultz, Jvr, Hall, Faulk, Hamilton, Pietrangelo, likely going in the top 2 re-draft rounds.
