With those options, I think you're stuck with the twins at the big contract. The other guy I'd keep is Pominville.
Hey guys, I'm starting to second guess myself with regard to my forward keepers here. My league is having an expansion draft and I can only protect 7 forwards. From this list, who would you not protect if you were me? My league factors in annual NHL salary, and uses the following cats: G, A, Pts, PPP, Sog, GWG, Hits, Blks, +/-, PIM for skaters.
Neal, Kessel, Duchene are given, but I'm not 100% on the rest. Let me know which 3 you would cut?
Duchene - protected (stud)
Kessel - $10 mil next yr but must protect
Neal - protected (stud)
Desharnais - not a shooter but awesome contract going forward and plays 1st line
Pominville - goes to $6 mil but is 1st line and big shooter and goal scorer
Perron - another guy who shoots a lot and is goal heavy, still 25 and good contract for 2 more yrs
Moulson - a shooter (water down version) but becomes UFA with anticipated higher contract
Filppula - good stats this season but goes to $6 mil in 2yrs, not sure if I can trust him
D. Sedin - a shooter and racks up good PPP but goes to $7 mil at age 34 and declining stats?
H. Sedin - doesn't shoot but more reliable than Daniel, also $7 mil, could be cap casualty for roster
Who would your 7 salary keepers be in this goal heavy league?

ugh this is tough, hate to cut the Sedins but in a cap league like yours it certainly makes them tough to keep.
I'd probably keep Desharnais, Perron, Pominville and then I flip between D Sedin and Filpula. H Sedin is a bit more consistent but with G weighted more heavily I prefer D Sedin, and to be honest for the extra $1m on the cap VS Filp I'd probably roll the dice with him. If nothing else he has good bounce back potential and name value in trades.
So for me:
Neal
Kessel
Duchene
Desharnais
Pominville
Perron
D Sedin
Hard to leave off H Sedin but his cap hit and lack of goals and rugged stats makes me think he's not great value. Filpula has potential but I can't see anyone on the list I'd be willing to move him for at his cap, and Moulson is too much of a wild-card not knowing what his cap will be (likely in the 5.5-6.5 range which hurts his value again).

This team is in your signature? I think it is.
I would keep Perron, Pominville, Daniel Sedin and Desharnais. Maybe flip Desharnais to Monahan, who is on cheap, entry level contract another two year, and producing relatively well. I'm sure he will be popular choice on your draft day, if you not keep him.
Yeah, haven't updated the roster in my signature but I got Monahan protected as a prospect so he's ok. Dan Sedin and Filppula were the bubble boys that I was flipping back and forth on. Looks like four of you in a row has vouched for Daniel so it's starting to look set here.

Because this is an expansion draft and not a keep 7 league you dont always have to protect your best players. You just have to protect the players you think that the 2 expansion teams would take. I would leave the twins unprotected because who wants to have the Sedins on an expansion team? Doesnt make sense to me.

I feel you gotta keep the Sedin's. Had a down year, but still world class players. If you're rebuilding then don't bother. For remaining four keepers I would go the Sedins, Fillp, and Perron.
