Who\'s the best 3 keepers?

[johnnymapman]

I need to keep 3 guys, and I\'ll only have them for the next 2 years. I\'m choosing from Getzlaf, Radulov, Zherdev, Gagne, or Vanek.

I\'m definitly keeping Getzlaf. I\'m also banking on Vanek having a better year next year, plus he\'s a LW.

So that leaves me with 1 more opening. I could probably draft Radulov in the 3rd round or so, I\'m willing to take that chance.

Now, do you think Gagne will bounce back from his concusions? I\'m leaning towards keeping Gagne, when healthy, he\'s a good source of G, SOG, +/- and he\'s a LW.

Scoring categories: G, A, PIMs, SOG, +/-, STPts.

Any suggestions?

Radulov for sure.

Gagne IMO looks like he;s going to take the same path as Lindros. He is a great player but I would not waste my keeper on such a high risk.

Zherdev is not in the same league as the other 3 players.

Getzlaf, Vanek and Radulov.

I would take Getzlaf, Vanek and Radulov for sure. Gagne had 3 concussions in about a month. I\'d stay as far away from him as possible. Way too much of a gamble. Zherdev has come into his own this year but I still like Radulov way more than him.

Welcome to DobberHockey johnnymapman!!

I wouldn\'t take a chance with Gagne. His health is a big question mark and I\'m sure with the problem he had this year, you\'ll probably be able to redraft him next year.

Zherdev is having a good year so far, but he can go back to his old habit anytime.

I wouldn\'t also take the chance to lose Rads. I might be wrong, but he can get around 75-80 pts next year.

I would keep Getzlaf, Vanek and Rads.

I think it\'s a pretty safe consensus on the three you should hold onto... Getzlaf, Vanek and Rads.

However, depending on the size of your league, do you have any solid Goalies you may want to keep instead of a guy like Radulov potentially??

[johnnymapman]

cool, looks like rads is the choice. so we\'re looking at what, 80+ pts next year, and even more in \'09-\'10!

his line combo has been pretty dominant since they were put together, so that\'s promising.
