Going into this season, I thought Kronwall and OEL would be my best dmen (points only), so far that hasn't been the case. At midseason, how would you order these defensemen from best to worst in a keeper league? Kronwall, OEL, Doughty, Schultz, Brodie, Franson, Klingberg. I'd likely keep 3-4 of them.
8 teams: 24 players, keep 10
Play 9F, 5D and 2G every week. Points only: G=1, A=1 Goalies: W=2 SO=1
Forwards: Crosby, Ovechkin, Backstrom, Kessel, Larkin, M. Tkachuk, Hertl, Bergeron, Horvat, Marchessault, Ehlers
Defensemen: Klingberg, Letang, Subban, Doughty, Petry, McDonagh
Goalies: Murray, Dubnyk, Lundqvist

We all know McDavid and Eichel are almost certainly going to be elite studs. What I want to know is how would you compare the following guys to previous years drafts?
3 Crouse, Lawson LW Kingston OHL
5 Rantanen, Mikko RW TPS Turku FinE
7 Strome, Dylan C Erie OHL
8 Barzal, Mathew C Seattle WHL
9 Marner, Michell C London OHL
11 Zacha, Pavel C Sarnia OHL
(rankings from current ISS report)
where would say Sam Reinhart or Leon Draisaitl slot in there?
I've read its quite a deep draft with regards to top end talent.. would love to hear some comparisons.
Not THAT hairy, honest!
Undrafted prospects not really my forte. I'm taking either Reinhart or Draisaitl ahead of those guys though simply because they are farther along developmentally.
Liked what I saw from Crouse at WJC. Looks like maybe more of a two-way guy than outright scorer but we've seen two-way guys produce well anyhow.
Rantanen looked great at WJC. Got a real Patric Hornqvist vibe from him as a guy who will fire the ever-living crap out of the puck from anywhere and also has size to get to the net for the cheapies.
What do you prefer in Head-to-head fantasy hockey.
Points for each category won - 12-0-0 for the week gets you 24 pts.
or
Points for most categories won - 12-0-0 for the week gets you 2 pts.
curious what the pros enjoy most.

Would you trade away Niemi for Kopitar + Kuemper? I'd have to rely on Bob and Dubnyk the rest of the way. Not really confident there.
And should I be worried about Kessel yet?

Very valid point. My other goalie is Schneider. I have not run the full schedule, but through January, Schneider and Varlamov only overlap once (Jan. 30th). I have to run this long term obviously, but if it seems to add a sizable boost, should I look at MacKinnon/Schultz as other pieces of Trouba and Nyquist?

My goalie cats have gotten rocked over the past week. My league and team are in SIG. Should I feel confident with my goalies or make a move for one? Halak is concerning me.. I'm way ahead in wins and shutouts but my GAA and SV% are in danger. Thanks Steve!
In a keeper league ( team in sig), would you keep the following 4 or try to trade some?
Granlund
Niedereiter
Kuznetsov
Toffoli
Thanks!

I can drop Galchenyuk for either Fisher, Maroon, Bailey, Wilson or Dubnyk
I'm losing faith in Bernier and wouldnt mind snagging duby before someone else, and then I'll have time to wait and see with bernier. Or just stick with bernier, and pick up a Forward for now.
