any ideas on who to keep?

[Redwingz07]

having a hard time determining who to hold on to for my keepers for next year. Now that Lidstrom has re signed do I keep him and do I keep someone else besides E Kane. Here is what im thinking, let me know what you guys see.

Keep for sure

B Ryan
E Malkin
J Benn
J Eberle
K Letang
A Gologoski
P Rinne


who are the last two?

[Redwingz07]

P.S. I cant keep Neal, the rules say I cant have more than two guys from the same team.

[TK12555]

I think I'd keep Kane and Lidstrom. Another option is that you can trade Kane and Lidstrom for a star player, and keep that player and Mcbain.

Kane and Voracek.

[STONE.]

Your team looks to have a shot (if Malkin is back to form).

I'd keep Lidstrom, and I'd try like crazy to deal Neal (someone will be enamored with his chances with Crosby) + someone like Kane or Voracek for an upgrade.

If not, I think I'd take Kane over Voracek -- tough call there.

Although -- how many goalies do you play (or how many count for you)? Can you wait to see where Vokoun signs?

[Redwingz07]

we play only one goalie, whichever one has the most points is the one that counts.

I assume the same team rule only applies to forwards, as you are keeping Benn and Goligoski?

How many teams in the league?

For goalies, what do you mean the one with the most points is the one that counts? Are your goalie points (see question about scoring system) only counted at the end of the season?

Definitely Lidstrom as one of them - go for the win. The other is between Vokoun (depending where he signs and above questions on settings and your active roster), Voracek, Ennis or Kane.

For the forwards, I don't see much between them in the next couple of years (points only) so I would go with the guy who's in the best position to produce in the short term. Ennis will be caught in depth (Vanek top line) so I feel that limits him, so it's between Voracek and Kane for me. I choose Voracek as he's already had a 50 point season and playing with Nash on the top line, he's bound to break out sooner rather than later. Kane will be good and he's on the first line as well but being a power forward and with less talented linemates will limit him in the short-term. Close call though.

what I meant about the goalies is that they play against each other all year and the one that has the most points at any given time is the one that counts, I dont have to activate one or the other.

Ok thanks for clarifying. Well, then having a second goalie keeper isn't as important, especially when you already have Rinne.

Lidstrom and Voracek based on my previous comments.

[BladesOfSteel]

Personally, I would keep E. Kane and Tyler Ennis - two future PPG talents who have already proven that they can contribute at a young age.

[MXHockey]

Lidstrom for sure.

Then it would be Voracek or Kane, with a slight edge to Voracek.

I'm with Horrorfan and MolsonX on this - you should keep Lidstrom and then for me it comes down to Kane and Voracek. I think it's a damn close call but for the reasons Horrorfan gave, I too would keep Voracek. Not liking one little bit having to let Kane go but it's one of those forced decisions - you won't be far wrong either way.
