    Default Keep 5, Expert advice needed

    Just inherited this limited keeper team and would like a sanity check on my keeper picks. I get to choose any 5 players to keep and the rest go into redraft. I have 3rd pick in the draft each round.

    12 Team H2H (Yahoo!) with Daily Starts

    Positions:
    3C, 3LW, 3RW, 5D, 5BN, 2G

    Scoring:
    G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, HIT
    W, L, GAA, SV%, SO

    Roster:
    Dion Phaneuf
    Evgeni Malkin
    Radko Gudas
    Anze Kopitar
    Ryan Kesler
    Patrick Sharp
    Duncan Keith
    Troy Brouwer
    Paul Stastny
    Olli Jokinen
    Ryan O'Reilly
    Tobias Enstrom
    Jonathan Huberdeau
    Steve Downie
    Matt Cooke
    Ales Hemsky
    Mikhail Grabovski
    Justin Braun

    Jonathan Quick
    Marc-Andre Fleury
    Ben Scrivens

    Malkin is a no brainer.
    With almost half of my stats being Goalie stats, keeping two elite goaltenders seems like a good idea. Then again maybe I just keep Quick and late draft a tandem...
    If I keep Phaneuf and Keith, I'll have 2 offensive D and can fill the rest of the D with grit later in the draft. Then I can focus on drafting F in early rounds which should net some guys in the 60-70 point range (most >70 will likely be kept)
    If I keep Kopitar and Sharp, I can get a few 60-70 point guys before getting some mid-range offensive D or maybe I just go F heavy and D is all grit (aka late draft D)

    Lots of questions, I know. Thanks for reading my ramblings. Any advice is appreciated.

    The other fringe keepers you will have a shot at getting back. You let one of the above go and I bet they're gone

    8F: Stamkos, Giroux, Kopitar, P. Kane, Eberle, Kucherov, Tarasenko, Sharp
    Bench: Gaborik, Spezza, Boedker, Little, Maroon

    4D: Letang, Shattenkirk, Hedman, Doughty

    Bench: Sekera, Schultz

    Keep Fleury, Quick, Malkin - these are no brainers imo.

    After than my thought is Kopitar, leaving your last keeper as a decision between Sharp/Keith, I would take Sharp.

    You have 4 no brainers for me.

    Quick
    MAF
    Malkin
    Kopitar

    The last one I would also go with Sharp but with those cats there are certainly some other options you could consider. Phaneuf would be up there for me, as would Ryan Kesler.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    Patrick Sharp (34-44 +13 313 shots) is an absolute no brainer here. Yes, he's 33 but his stats over the last 4 years when healthy are top 10.
    If you end up struggling this year, he is an excellent trading chip
