    Default Which Five to Keep?

    Would like some input from others on which 5 players out of the following I should keep. Anyone not kept is lost (no off-season trades allowed). Also allowed to keep one goalie (already chosen, now need to choose the 5 skaters to keep).

    Yahoo Head-to-Head 12 team league with the categories and setup shown in signature.

    List of players and average of prorated stats for past 2 seasons.

    Team Player NHL.com Rank Age Pos G A PTS +/- PIM PPG PPP SHP FW
    CHI Kane 1 28 C/R 41 55 96 15 22 13 33 0 10
    WPG Byfuglien 34 31 D/R 20 33 54 5 134 4 19 2 0
    NSH Forsberg 35 22 C/L/R 30 34 64 8 36 7 21 2 5
    ARI Ekman-Larsson 40 25 D 23 29 52 (12) 72 12 25 1 0
    NSH Neal 42 29 L/R 30 22 52 21 67 4 9 0 14
    PHI Gostisbehere 43 23 D 22 37 59 10 31 10 28 0 1
    NSH Johansen 48 24 C/R 20 46 66 0 51 6 24 1 1,153
    TBL Johnson 71 26 C 24 37 61 20 25 6 17 0 872
    LAK Carter 77 32 C/R 27 37 64 13 25 7 14 2 915

    Having some thoughts about keeping all 3 defensemen (a new strategy for me) as it would give me a solid core for my blueline and allow my focus at the beginning of draft to be on forwards. I welcome any thoughts you might have on that idea.

    I agree with FinnishFlash and his picks. The FOW makes Johansen the right center to keep. The rest were easy picks.

    You all are making it easy. Those are the 5 that I was leaning towards as well; however, I posted the same question last season to make sure I wasn't over/undervaluing someone and got plenty of contrasting input. Thanks everyone!

    I think your top 4 were pretty clear (as evidenced by everyone having the same list so far). Although I can understand the case being made for keeping Ghost over Johansen. Given your stats and his FOW plus the fact that he should have a better year in Nashville for a full season, I would go with the consensus and take him over Ghost though.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    I saw the initial list and didn't think Johansen would get that much love over Johnson and Ghost. Nice to see though, and for what it's worth, I too agree with the 5.
