Pavelski
Yakupov
Trouba
Pastrnak
Nichuskin
Is what I would go with. But you can't go wrong with getting any of those prospects. Nichuskin I think will have a good bounce back year. Especially if he slots with seguin and Benn.
Hey guys, need help, in my points only league with positional requirements in sig, I am allowed to keep 8 players in the summer. Tavares/Seguin, and John Carlson are my locks. For the remaining 5 spots I have to choose from between:
Pavelski - 6 mil for a few more seasons great value for a top player
Kuznetsov - RFA
Scheifele - 1 more year of around .9 mil, basically a lock to keep as well.
Nichushkin - such a question mark for me right now, he has one more year of .925 or something.
Yakupov - RFA, starting to like him a lot more in recent months.
Mikael Granlund - another RFA who feels like he needs to be a lock for me, I'm a believer in this guy
Trouba - next season .833
Seth Jones - next season .9
So already its a tough decision. I can also pick up any 2 of the following guys and use them as keepers instead:
Teravainen
Ehlers
Mark Stone
Pastrnak
Thanks for your help!

[I]12 Team Salary Cap Keeper:
Fowards: Points Only
Defenseman: Points & .1 points for hits and BS
Goalies: 2 pts for win & 3 pts for shutout.
I wouldn't keep Jones or Trouba in points-only. They're stuck behind players like Byfuglien and Weber, I can't see them getting too many points in the next couple of years.
With that in mind, my keepers would be:
Pavelski
Scheifele
Yakupov
Kuznetsov
Granlund
If you have a farm system, then take Ehlers and Pastrnak over Granlund and Kuznetsov.
In ordre of preference, my keepers would be:
Tavares
Seguin
Pavelski
Carlson
Scheifele
Nichushkin
Yakupov
Teravainen
Kuznetsof
Granlund
Trouba
Jones
Ehlers
Stone
Pastrnak
but where are your goalies?
Im dropping my goalies, they dont hold a ton of value in my league (at least not the ones I own). I can draft some good goalies.
Thanks for the opinions guys, need more please! These are some tough calls for me.

I'd go:

Scheifele
Kuznetsov ( on a line with Ovie today)
Nichushkin
Yakupov ( still believe he'll be a stud in this league....took longer than others...that's all)

Suddenly I'm feeling like I'd be ******ed not to pick up Mark Stone based on comments Ive read on the forums, and realizing how good his stats are.

Well can you stash those guys or must they be on your roster? I think that plays a role in choosing guys like Ehlers, Teravainen etc.
If you can't stash them I'd say: Pavelski, Kuznetsov, Scheifele, Nichushkin, Stone. Imo these give you the best short-term value, you can always replace them again next year (seeing that it's a league in which nobody owns guys like Teravainen and Ehlers...)
Pavs and Scheif are locks as you already have noted. As JP said, don't bother with D in points-only if you can help it.
For your final 3, I'm going Yaks, Stone and Nichu. Reason being is that RW should be much shallower than C (Kuzya, Granner) or LW (TT, Ehlers), allowing you to still find value in lower-ranked Cs and LWs. As a Pasta owner, I'm actually slightly worried about a sophomore slump this season with the Bruins make-over and guys like Connolly potentially pushing him down the lineup.
In straight-up value though, I like Yaks, Kuzya and Granner to have the highest ceilings in points-only.
