More likely to happen next season - RNH gets 70 points or Wideman falls below 40? I know it seems like a random question, but it relates to retentions in my limited keeper.
Yes, the problem is an embarassment of riches... Here's my team at the moment. I can only keep 13 with 3 of those spots reserved for players having less than 150 games played (so called "rookies"). In bold are my best guesses at my keepers.
Am I going at this wrong? Any suggestions for my keeper list?
F: Seguin, Benn, Tavares, Kucherov(R), Scheifele, Simmonds, Ovie, Granlund, Wheeler, Oshie, Nyquist, Kreider, Gaudreau(R), Stone(R)
D: OEL, Klingberg(R), Barrie, McDonagh, Trouba(R)
G: Crawford, Quick, Luongo
Thanks again!

Hi Dobber, thx for doing this!
For my team in signature we have a double expansion coming up meaning I will lose 2 players. We can protect 10 players, would you change my list at all?
Ryan, Byfuglien, Backes, Monahan, Bjugstad, Kucherov, Johanson, Boedker, Spezza, JvR.
Rattie and Draisaitl are on my junior squad and are exempt from the draft.
18 Team Full Keeper Start 10F, 3D, 1 G, 1 Flex Skater, 3 JR

Hey Dobber! Thanks for answering questions! It's sweet.
So I just won my league, which is awesome...but in gunning for the win I loaded up on some players and now I need to make some tough decisions for my keepers. We get to keep 10 roster players, and 12 minor players. Minor players are players who have played under 110 games (which is awesome for me with Forsberg).
So my roster is in my signature and the categories for the league are also there.
Right now I'm definitely keeping
1) Ovechkin
2) Byfuglien
3) Lundqvist
4) Varlamov
5) Tarasenko
6) Weber
7) Giroux
Now that leaves me a choice of Kreider, Bjugstad, Palat, Trouba, Marchand, Callahan, OEL, Kopitar for the final 3 keeper spots.
I'm a little worried about Kopitar's season but I'd have a real hard time just letting him go. OEL is also a hard guy to let go. Defense are pretty valuable in our league with 6 spots to play them daily and blocks/hits being worth a decent amount. So I'm thinking I have three options.
Option 1: Keep Kopitar, OEL and choose between Kreider/Palat/Bjugstad for the 10th keeper spot
Option 2: See if I can sell Kopitar and keep OEL, Bjugstad and one of Kreider/Palat for the 10th spot
Option 3: Keep Kreider, Palat and Bjugstad, skew my keepers a little younger and sell Kopitar/OEL (OEL might be at his highest value for a while with the 23 goal season and Yandle gone and people assuming he can take his spot on the PP)
Part of me is leaning towards option 2. What do you think?
Thankfully I can put Forsberg in my minors which look like the following:
Forsberg, Hayes, Lowry, Jaskin, Rieder, Nick Ritchie (could be gold in my league format), Hellebuyck, Matt Murray, Joni Ortio, Ghost, Honka, Connougton

If you answer this question before tonight's games begin (as it could become clearer after them):
Assuming Minnesota and Vancouver are in, who misses the playoffs in the West? Calgary, LA or Winnipeg?
Remaining games:
CGY: vs Arizona, vs LA, at Winnipeg
LA: at Edmonton, at Calgary, vs San Jose
WPG: at St. Louis, at Colorado, vs Calgary
What do you think Kuemper's chances are of having a decent fantasy season next year? My league (in sig) counts only wins and shutouts, and it's a cap league based on salary (he makes $1.5 next year). tx

Under those conditions, I would rank as follows:
1. Dubnyk
2. Foligno
3. Josi - even preferring five F, Josi is putting up points like a forward. Wouldn't shock me if he got 55 next year and the six players you list got 54.
4. Ladd
5. Marleau
6. Ribeiro
7. Backes
8. Plekanec

I think he may have high 60s upside, but I don't think he'll reach it. I don't consider him a top sixer right now. Could happen, but I'm not there yet with him.
Semin - I would bet against it. Probably good money against it, too. Somewhere else, maybe. He'd flourish in the KHL!
