Hey Gotlaid,

My team's in my sig. I've only included the players I'm even remotely considering keeping. We protect 13 in Sept after Yahoo gets going. We can proetct no more thna 4 at any position and must protect a min of 2 at each positon.

I just traded Lupul and Miller for 2 high picks (1st and 2nd rounder) so I could keep Schneider. I'd love to know your thoughts (and anyone else who chimes in too).

Thanks in advance!

C (4): Crosby, Kesler, Roy, M. Richards,
LW (4): Ryan, Burrows, Pacioretty,
RW (4): Perry, Iginla, Hodgson, Ryder
F (1): J. Williams
D (5): Byfuglien, Boyle, Karlsson
G (1): Schneider

Tough decision...

A lot of it would hinge on Schneider and I probably wouldn't have made that Miller move until Luongo was clearly out of town... but anyhoo.

Crosby, Perry, Ryan, Iggy, Byfuglien, Boyle, Karlsson and Schneider are your must keeps...

So that leaves room for about 5 more...

I would definitely keep Ward to at least have a backup plan for Schneider in case Luongo stays in Vancouver, but that could change come Sept.

I'm on the fence about Kesler... he's expected to be on the shelf till at least November, but from what I've read about the history of torn labrums, players don't generally bounce back too well after having that surgery in the off-season.

Roy had a bad season, but he and the Sabres should bounce back they're a much better team than what they showed last year.

Richards is coming off of a high after winning the Cup. I don't know about his overall point production but he should be a keeper given your choice of players you have...

Burrows I'm not a fan of in your settings. It's mostly points based and Burrows isn't a high end points producer. But once again given your options I don't think there's a better option available.

Max Pac I love, I think he's going to have a great season next year. "Magical fourth year too" and getting lots of ice-time in a top offensive role with the Habs. Keep!

Hodgson, once again on the fence on... I didn't really see him have a major impact with the Sabres at the end of the season. The Sabres are deep in offensive players and I don't know if Hodgson will rise to the top in his role.

Ryder, once again on the fence too, had a decent season, good role with the stars, but do you keep him over a Burrows?

Williams, didn't play a massive role this year, and had the luxury of Gagne being out long term too. If Gagne is back the ice-time could slip. With Kops, Brown, Richards, Carter, Williams and Gagne... I don't know if there's going to be a lot of points to spread around especially given LA's defense first system...

Stepan, could be interesting as I think he'll be ready to take the next step, the problem is with Gabby out for the first 1/4 of the season, the offensive support won't be there. But with that said he is a Torts type of player and will get good TOI.

I might be inclined to keep Kesler, Roy, Richards, Max Pac and Ryder... With an extra 1st and 2nd you could always go back and grab Burrows or Williams back if necessary...

Crosby, Kesler, Roy, Richards, Ryan, Max Pac, Perry, Iggy, Byfuglien, Boyle, Karlsson, Schneider and Ward. Burrows/Stepan would be my bubble boys.

Thanks!

Yesssh tough one... because of your settings...

Brown's 294 hits would be equivalent to 15 goals or 30 assists more goals and that's the kicker for me, and I don't know if St. Louis or Carter would be 15 goals or 30 assists more than Brown...

Brown
St. Louis
Carter

Carter and St. Louis I think could be interchangeable, but Carter does have an injury history and is likely to miss at least a few games next season, which is why I slotted him down to third. St. Louis also missed Lecavalier for much of the second-half with Vinny's hand injury, which is why his production dropped a bit in the 2nd half, if Vinny is healthy and Stammy keeps doing what he's doing, he could be back to 90 point production, but not enough to offset Brown's 44 extra points from the hits though.

Can you rank the players in my sig for production next season? Thanks!

[rougie]

Hey Gotlaid, could you do a quick audit of my team in my signature if possible (where I should make improvements etc)
as always thanks so much!

[Zorro]

Gotlaid, what did you have for breakfast this morning??

Defense: Yandle, Letang, Shattenkirk, Kulikov, Martin, Hamonic

Goalies: Fleury, Halak, Khabibulin

I don't know what you mean by rank? As in best to worst? or what I think they'll produce point-wise?

Forwards: Crosby, Malkin, Backstrom, Selanne*, Seguin, Weiss, Brassard, Purcell, Ladd, Deharnais

Defense: Shattenkirk, Letang, Yandle, Kulikov, Martin, Hamonic

Goalies: Halak, Fleury, Khabibulin

Does Radulov sign with an NHL team this summer? Assuming he does, now that we know Nashville won't re-sign him, what type of point production can we expect?

Thanks!
