Mulling over Keepers
Hey All,
I was lucky enough to come in 2nd regular season so have a bye this week while I wait to see who I face. So I got around to preemptively picking my keepers and am now stuck on who I want to keep. The locks are a gimme, the remaining spots though make it hard.
League is in sig, we keep 2c, 2lw, 2rw, 2d, 1g and 1 player any position
Locks:
Malking (C/RW)
Ovy (RW)
Hall (C/LW)
Subban (D)
Rask (G)
This would leave me with 2C, 1 LW, 1 D, 1 Wild spots left.
So my thoughts on the remainder (in no particular order)
Schneider (using wild - in a 14 team keeper where most teams keep 2 goalies I'd be crazy not to keep him right?)
Letang (Injury concerns, but I can't just let him go can i?)
Giordano (Makes the keeping Letang decision muddy)
For the forwards it gets a bit muddier, with ~3 spots for several "Good" players I'm really torn:
Little (Played really well this year, with RW eligibility and the FOW he has added value - does he regress?)
Fippula (Aside from Injury he's been doing really well in Tampa, Added C/LW ability gives same FOW advantage)
Dubinsky (I moved lupul for him earlier, has wing eligibility, gets FOW, lower point celing, great multi cat strength though)
Nyquist (Didn't expect this much from a WW pickup mid season, now played his way into my keeper heart so hard to let him go as well)
Doubt the rest hold a candle to the guys above but some intrigue:
Ott (still multi cat stud with Hits/PIM/FOW)
Gudas (huge hits/pims/blks)
Fisher (Top line Nashville center? meh)
Am kind of stuck so would appreciate any feedback you guys have! Ideally I'd love to rank the guys I'd keep, take the remaining gems and perhaps package them into an upgrade at one position, just not sure where that is :P
