    Pretty close to zero. Dubnyk destroyed him in fantasy. The Wild will re-sign Dubnyk, and that's all she wrote for Kuemper. Too many better options out there for him to get traded to another team, too. Nobody will want him if they can just get Reimer or Niemi or Anderson

    we keep any 12 players plus our farm (under 100GP Reg season for skaters, and 50GP for goalies)
    Start 3C 3LW 3RW 5D 1Util 2G 7 Bench spots.
    Fantrax is the provider.

    Cats are Skt: G A +/- PIM SOG Hits Blks FOW PPP SHP GWG
    Goalies: W L SV SV% GAA SHO
    weekly starts

    Current Roster, and ill bold the keepers I have in mind and who I'm seeing as toss ups/on the bubble.

    C- Tavares / Kopitar / Monahan / Barkov / Ribeiro
    LW-Couture / Lucic / Huberdeau / Girgensons(also C eligible)
    RW- OV / Kessel / Tarasenko / Kucherov / Pastrnak
    D- Faulk / Carlson / Brodie / Rielly / Wideman / Bogosian
    G- Lundqvist / Lehtonen / Bernier / Hammond

    Last spot is a toss up between lehtonen(he was so bad this year bernier was better on a worse team imo). Bernier, Faulk, Rielly, Brodie, Pastrnak, Wideman Barkov, Huberdeau. i never kept a dman last year, and i ww all of them i have above except Rielly (promoted, and carlson draft). i feel like Barkov has the most upside in my setting and he gives 4 legit first line C keepers. even if i had to wait a year or two on him.

    Prospects: Drouin, Nylander, Vasilevsky, Buchnevich, Barabashev, Dal Colle, Virtanen, Goldobin, Milano, Demko (i replenished the farm last year and we expanded it by 5 slots so only drouin and maybe vasilevsky will need to be promoted next season.
    To me it's a toss up between Faulk and Rielly. I'd probably go Faulk, the more proven

    I'd prefer Green in future years in a keeper, but I don't think Wideman would hurt you any

    Of the non-keepers is there anyone I should try to sell?

    Your other two keepers should be Klingberg (for SURE, assuming it's John) and JVR. You can get pretty good return for Lack, Vrbata and Carter

    Here is my team's trade block for the offseason:

    FOR SALE -

    C - Paul Stastny
    C - Brandon Dubinsky
    LW - Henrik Zetterberg
    LW - Michael Raffl
    LW - Nikolaj Ehlers
    RW - Blake Wheeler
    RW - T.J. Oshie
    RW - Nikolay Goldobin
    D - Nick Leddy
    G - Brian Elliott
    G - Ryan Miller
    G - Eddie Lack
    G - Cam Ward

    UNTOUCHABLE -

    C - Sidney Crosby
    C - Anze Kopitar
    LW - Jamie Benn
    LW - Gabriel Landeskog
    RW - Steven Stamkos
    RW - Vladimir Tarasenko
    D - Shea Weber
    D - Alex Pietrangelo

    1) Is there anyone that I have listed as "UNTOUCHABLE" that I should look to move?
    2) I have contacted the owner of Evgeny Kuznetsov for a possible trade and have dangled T.J. Oshie being that he is also a Blues' fan like me. Would this a smart thing to keep pursuing?
    3) What do you see Anthony Duclair doing next year; will he be called up with Domi in ARZ?
    4) Who are some good young defensemen that are somewhat under the radar and cheap that I should start targeting?
    5) Which two goalies should I keep heading into next year: Ryan Miller, Brian Elliott, Eddie Lack, or Cam Ward?

    Hey Dobber!

    Thanks for taking the time to answer these! If you're still answering questions, I'm curious what you think of my bolded keepers in sig.

    Or would you be tempted to keep one of these players over one of the players listed above:
    Brodie, Schultz, Dubnyk, Brassard

    Play 9F, 5D and 2G every week. Points only: G=1, A=1 Goalies: W=2 SO=1

    Hey Dobber,

    Great timing...

    With only a few games left, I sit +14 on the 2nd place team. That Josi Deal has helped out as it turns out.

    My question(s)

    1) I've updated my Team in Sig with new Keepers bolded (having just recently moved out Eberle and JVR for Josi and essentially Palat (who will now be a keeper for me), have I selected the best keepers per my league breakdown?
    2) Do you see any value in perhaps protecting a 3rd tender (Vasilevskiy) to take advantage of his starts next year (to spell off Crawford and Bob?) and perhaps reap the benefits of an inevitable Bishop injury (Goalies are Golden in my league and always net the most fan points)
    3) Are there any glaring areas that I need to address NOW? Even if I win the season, I possess what will likely bethe 4th/5th pick. If Strome/Marner/Hanafin are available, should I draft them? or look to bolster my line up immediately with proven guys like Callahan, Vrbata, Ribiero who played such a critical role for me off the bench this year?

    Thanks man. (Not sure if I'm too late to get this in... as I see this was for April 7th. Oh well...worth a shot).
