[DYs Keepers] Team Cleanup and Thanks to All

[Dean Youngblood]

The season is over (well pretty much) and I have taken home my third consecutive win my Money Keeper league with my buddies.

Thanks to everyone with the help over the past 4 years as I developed this roster. We changed the number of players we dropped this year (from 3 last year to 5 this year) so I spent most of the season trying to get my keepers to where I was comfortable with them. I made a few minor deals where I shipped out veteran talent (Prospal, Arnott) for draft pick upgrades as I had no need for them with a 200+ point lead.

Please take a look at my roster and let me know who you think I should keep and select 5 players to return back to the draft for next fall. I have my ideas of who I plan on dropping but I wanted to double check with the experts here at dobberhockey

Thanks again

I would drop these guys. I think zajac has too much potential left to outright drop him

Really? Keep Shitty Paul Martin over Travis Zajac? Not really what I was leaning towards.

Care to explain why?

You honestly need to take your friends out with you and buy them some beers and lap dances. Your team is the most dominant hockey pool team I've ever seen (and I said this the first time I saw it).

I'm not helping you one shmiddly piddly with your team!

Pengwin's Drops:
1. Sedin

Thanks. I tried to make it easy on myself.

At the deadline I had Pominville, Steen and Ruutu with only one keeper spot planned for them so I flipped the three of them for Hossa/Ott/Plug so I didn't have to stress when it come to dropping my players.

Thanks Shoeless. This was the list I had in mind as well.

Great Response. Thanks (I think it's a compliment).

In our league we bring in money via registration ($30) and waiver wire moves ($10 per add/drop to a maximum of 5). We then invest half of the earnings each year into a "League Trip Fund" so that we make a effort to do a guys weekend trip every couple of years. The other half is divided up amongst the Top 3 GMs.

This is our 5th year and we plan on cashing in on our trip this summer. I actually plan on buying my league members some beer when we go on our league trip. 3-5 cases of beer should make them happy for a few hours.

Sent you all some Rep for your help-----even you Pengwin7
