Kuch, Drais, Panarin, PK, Talbot, Dubnyk, Vasilev - Keep 4

[Sharabhi]

Keep 4 of:
Kucherov
Draisaitl
Panarin
Subban
Talbot
Dubnyk
Vasilevskiy

Forwards/Defensemen Stat Categories: Goals (G), Assists (A), Plus/Minus (+/-), Penalty Minutes (PIM), Powerplay Points (PPP), Shots on Goal (SOG), Blocks (BLK)
Goaltenders Stat Categories: Wins (W), Goals Against Average (GAA), Saves (SV)

Also, may have a trade partner for Dubnyk, so if he's not in the picture, how would that change your selection? How much better is Dub vs Vasilev?

Kuch and Talbot stand out to me as the no brainers. I put Drai in that next tier and go with him as your 3rd.

Then it's between Panarin and Suban for me and I'd base my decision on positional importance. If top end forwards are tougher to get than upper tier D men then I go Panarin. If D men are harder to come by, I keep Subban. This will depend on other players kept and how well you know the other GM's in your league.

I thought about keeping Dubnyk as well but can't justify keeping 2 goalies in a keep 4 almost ever. And goalies are 3 out of 10 categories so one or no goalies seems right (25 percent of your keepers vs 30 percent of your stats).

[Sharabhi]

oh man, makes my decision even tougher, thought I'd keep two of the goalies for sure lol...but i follow your logic!

[Happy Hour]

Kuch
Drai
Talbot
Panarin

The decision on whether or not to keep 2 goalies comes down to how many teams are in your league, roster size and how many goalies you start. Kucherov and Talbot are definite keepers. Beyond that, if you could share more of your league settings, we could give better advice.

[Sharabhi]

10 teams - C, C, C, LW, LW, LW, RW, RW, RW, D, D, D, D, G, G, BN, BN, BN, IR+

[Referee3083]

Great. In a 10 team, start 2 you definitely don't want to keep 2 goalies. I'd go panarin and Subban as my 3rd and 4th

[Axeman33]

Kucherov
Draisaitl
Talbot
Dubnyk

[Swels Stewart]

Echoing that with goalies only accounting for 3/10 cats it doesn't make sense to keep 2. I'd go Talbot, Kucherov, Panarin, and Draisaitl unless you really get the sense that D are going to be hard to come by in the draft.

[SgtCrosby87]

Try to flip Dubnyk for a draft pick to a team who didn't do well last year - you don't lose him for nothing and that team doesn't have to use an early pick on a goalie.

[Justinsane87]

Kuch, Drai, PK, Talbot

[Sharabhi]

the problem is that 12 goalies are already kept...i've dealt dubnyk, but now I'm considering Vasilevsky

I don't keep him, I'd likely have to pick a goalie with my 2nd rounder regardless and Vasilevsky may not be on the board.

[Hunter9]

Kuch Drai Talbot Subban/Panarin (I would lean Panarin).

If you can, try and flip Panarin+Vas for a player you would keep as your #4 keeper.

[Kabonov]

Kucherov
Draisaitl
Talbot

Subban/Panarin + vasi for a upgrade in 4th keep would be the play.
