Help with last keeper

**aleco83** · September 19, 2013, 2:32 PM

League stats and info in my sig.

R. Johansen - lots of hype, poor track record and there is now competition for a top six role
M. Backlund - slightly improving, bad team but very little competition for top 6 role, has not lived up to hype
Pavelski - solid 60 point guy but now 29 and Big Joe is still around and Couture is more talented
Bennett - high risk / high reward, has shown some chemistry with Geno and Neal, less competition with Iggy and Morrow gone

I'm leaning towards Bennett simply because as my final keeper I can really hit a home run if he clicks with Geno and Neal. The others may still do well but I see the upside more limited by team circumstances.

Thank you,

Pavelski is the obvious choice to me.

If you are going for the win, I'd take Pavelski. If you're going through a rebuild of any type, then Bennett.

Pavelski's value is only going to rise...there's a reason San Jose just locked him up long-term. He's the very easy and obvious keeper option here to me.

Thanks for the input guys. Pavelski has been a keeper of mine for a few years and his production has been very steady but just not star calliber. I am a contender so I'll go with the safe bet. I was hoping someone would support my gambling ways lol.

At best I'd say Bennett will match Pavelski's production this season...with far more risk associated with him achieving the feat. So no, definitely go with Pavs.
