Help with Keeper Options
Our league is doing a partial re-draft this year where we can keep 5 players + 5 rookies (rookies defined as players with 3 or less years of NHL experience).
League stats include:
G,A,+/-,Hits,PPP, SOG, FW, BLKS,
GAA, SV% and Wins
I am thinking of keeping:
1. McKinnon
2. Tavares
3. Josi
4. Talbot
My Rookies are
1. Werenski
2. Eichel
3. Marchassult
4. Mantha
5. Darling
I can choose to keep one of the following players (trade deadline has passed so whoever I drop goes back into the draft).
Kessel
Jake Allen
B. Schenn
I am kind of leaning towards keeping Allen but maybe keeping 3 goalies is overkill. I also have the first overall pick so I will likely be able to draft very strong player with my first pick.
Would greatly appreciate some sage advice.

Re: Help with Keeper Options
How many teams in the league? How many goalies start for you? Those questions seems pertinent -- because if it's more than 12, or if you start two, then goalies are much more valuable.
I do think Allen is the best player here, but that doesn't make him the best keeper. Your cats are 8-3 in favor of skaters, and Kessel is a pretty solid own.
It would also depend on the trade activity in your league. Dealing Allen might net you better than Kessel when the season begins?
A few things to consider before knowing what's best....

Re: Help with Keeper Options
Good Questions:
This is for a 12 team league that starts 2 C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D , 2 Utility and 2 Goalies nightly.
I was also thinking that I might be able to deal a goalie to a desperate team post draft but wasnt sure what peoples thoughts were about Schenn in a hits league or if kessels values just made him an obvious keep.
Re: Help with Keeper Options
Brayden Schenn could be very valuable for his HITS and FOW (counted from wing).
In a 12-team league, though, I think I'm keeping Allen.
Nothing wrong with having 3 solid goalies.
I think Brayden Schenn is re-draftable anyways.
Re: Help with Keeper Options
I agree with Pengwin here. Having 3 goalies in a 12 team gives you a serious advantage right off the bat/Originally Posted by Pengwin7
Re: Help with Keeper Options
well if you think you can compete right away i would keep allen and schenn and drop mackinnon.
in few years i think Mac will be better option but he is not right now. you will also have larger chance of re-drafting mackinnon than schenn.
