Those would be my picks.
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).

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.

Yeah - those five are the cream of your crop

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.
