    Question Please choose four - impossible decision

    Keeper league (keep 4 per year) - H2H 10 teams - drafting 10th - categories G, A, P, PPP, +/-, SOG, HITS

    Last years ranking:

    Robertson - 4
    Kucherov - 7
    B. Tkachuk - 9
    Pettersson - 13
    Crosby - 19
    Stutzle - 21

    Initial thoughts:
    - time to drop Crosby given his age and other centre options.
    - for me it comes down to Stutzle vs. Pettersson
    Stutzle is younger, ended the season with 45 points in 33 games, has better (more consistent) forwards to play with and is locked up long term. My gut says keep Stutzle except for the fact that I want to keep Brady as well. I have never kept two players on the same team before and am worried that I should diversify. Is this a real concern?
    - I have toyed with the idea of dropping Kuch given age and health history but I generally think that’s a stupid notion.

    Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated!

    I wouldn't worry about keeping multiple guys who are good producers on the same team at all.

    Ya, your top three are solid. It really boils down to who is your fourth. That's the harder choice. I think I'd also keep Stutzle here.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, SBennett

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    You don’t mention what position eligibility you use. However, there is good coverage in your list and any really slight margins might be decided but positional strength or weakness. Otherwise the advice here is good.

    Agree with the other one’s. Stutzle, it’s not a big gamble in a keep 4, and 10 teams.

    pts: (D : 7 pts G /5 pts A), (F : 5pts G /3 pts A), (G : 10 pts W / 5 pts SO), (D/F : 1 pt +/-, 0.5 pts PIM, 0.1 FOW, 0.2 Hits, 0.3 pts SOG, PP and SH).

    Forward : Aho, Svechnikov, PLDubois, Giroux, Couture, Wheeler, Cozens, Karlsson, Vrana, Anderson,​Greenway,

    Defenses : Dahlin, Fox, Doughty, Toews, , Slavin, Miller

    Goalies : Oettinger, Vanecek, Bobrovsky

    Prospects : Dostal, Schmid, Chinakhov, Bordeleau, Ostlund, Brindley, Gulyayev

    Robertson, Tkachuk, Kucherov and Stutzle for me as well. Stutzle is sneaky good in multi-cat, especially this particular format.

    How many seasons until Pettersson surpasses Kucherov? I don't believe it's a stupid notion to consider.
    For me it would be Robertson, Tkachuk, Stutzle and Kucherov/Pettersson depending on your contention.

    It would help a lot if PetterssonÂ’s contract status was finalized. He could end up on a weak team if Vancouver doesnÂ’t get anything finalized. He could also be in a more favourable position as well.

    I have won the last two years so am in contention, keep 4Â’s tend to ensure anyone can be competitive year to year.

    the best keeper teams I am against are probably

    Is there a window for trading at all? I have a hard time believing Crosby or Pettersson wouldn't be a keeper upgrade for another team in your league. Maybe you gain some picks. Or perhaps you get a better deal for another one of your keepers and you slide in Pettersson or Crosby instead.
