Keep 1 - Hudler, Ladd, Pominville

[adalyfrey]

Salary cap of $83, uses real AAV, keep 10 players & 2 rookies (who were rookies the year previous or still Calder-eligible), G/A/P/PPP/SOG/W/SOs

My list right now is:
F: Voracek, DSedin, HSedin, Tatar
D: HLindholm, JSchultz
G: Rinne, Lehtonen, Niemi
Rookie: Spooner, Klingberg
For approximately 50m

My options for last keeper are narrowed down to Hudler (4m), Ladd (4.4), Pominville (5.6ish?)
Other options are: Spezza, Lehtera, Coyle, Perron, DSavard, Gardiner

My initial thought is to go with Hudler because he's actually hit a 70+ number whereas no one else has (excepting 7m Spezza) and is relatively cheap, but he obviously will regress in his Sh%. Pominville is mister steady 55-60pt but a bit more expensive/less of a risk, which is how I feel about Ladd as well.
Do I put Savard on as my last keeper at 1.3m and walk into the draft with 4F/4D? Help appreciated.

Hudler.

At that price tag, Hudler has the best value imo...
He will regress, but should at the minimum fall in the range of Ladd and Pominville, with upside for more if the chemistry with Johnny Hockey is still there.

Hudler for me

Ladd for me. On a side note, you have a lot of money tied up in Niemi and Lehtonen, any chance you could make a move for a starter and even save some $$$$.

[brakli]

Hudler over Ladd, but it's close

[Axeman33]

I like Hudler but with those cats I'd go with Ladd.

I had Dubnyk, but moved him in a deal for 3rd overall/Lehtonen/Lindholm, and then moved the 3rd and another 1st for Voracek.
They're pricey, but with there only being 2 goalie cats and Svs/SV% not being part of them, I really like the Dallas combo. I'll draft another mid-tier goalie and hope one of the 2 Dallas goalies becomes a true starter so I can drop/trade the other & save some $

So from feedback so far it seems like a coin flip between Ladd & Hudler. I've tried to wrangle a pick for either one but no bites. Thanks everyone

Both players don't hold a lot of value in fantasy hockey for some strange reason so it will be hard to get a fair value return for either of them.

I like your thought on keeping Savard at 1.3 and then walking into the draft with some extra $$$ to hopefully get a forward better than hudler.. Depending on where you are in the draft order, you might be able to get a better forward that Hudler at a decent cost, or maybe even re-draft Hudler if there is nothing else available.

Agreed.

Ladd

Both Hudler and Ladd are going to be getting 2-3 million dollar raises next season, just keep that in mind aswell.. I would probably roll with Ladd with the shots on goal being a stat cat..

[GoNucks]

I would pick Hudler but only slightly over Ladd.
