    Question Keeper draft choices

    My league is 8 teams, G A .5+- .1Hit .1Blk / W -1L .1Sv -1GA 4So.
    Keepers going into this year are
    C Stamkos
    LW Palat
    RW Oshie or Wheeler (not sure)
    D Carlson or Weber (not sure)
    G Price Holtby

    I will be drafting 8th & 9th and from what I can figure with the other keepers in the league starting to shake out, here is who will be available to me for those crucial first two picks. Any suggestions?
    G Bishop Rask Bobrovsky
    C Kopitar
    LW Lucic, Steen
    RW MacKinnon, Oshie/Wheeler
    D Weber/Carlson, Boychuck, Seabrook, Josi, Giordano

    All of the others are a serious step back from these guys.

    Happy pooling everyone!!

    First of all, you should keep Wheeler over Oshie and Weber over Carlson. With hits included its actually not even close. Both pairs will be really close in points, but the gap ins hits will be huge.

    In the draft i would try to get MacKinnon just for the upside he has and Roman Josi. He's one of the best shot blockers and should finish over 50 points. That will make him really valuable.

    If one of them is gone Kopitar would be my next choice.

    You are set in goal, so i wouldn't draft a goalie in the first round.

    I agree completely with above. I would keep Wheeler and draft MacKinnon in hopes he becomes your keeper. Availability of D in your league with only 8 teams is much better than RW based on what you sent.

    I also agree with drafting Josi right away, those peripherals make him very valuable.

    As it turns out, the Dobber projections, taking peripherals into account, have Weber/Carlson and Oshie/Wheeler in dead heats with each other. I am actually tempted to keep Oshie (I didn't disclose this, but the league has roster spots for 4C 3R 3L 5D 2G 6B so the eligibility at C counts for a bit given that I need extra C men) and Carlson (trending in the opposite direction as Weber). Really hoping MacKinnon falls to me.

    I am a lot more comfortable drafting Wheeler and Weber over Oshie and Carlson.

    If we knew that Oshie was going to play with OV/Backstrom, then I might be swayed a bit more his way but I prefer the consistency that Wheeler offers. I just prefer Weber over Carlson with your league setup.
