    Default Keepers declared...now what?

    I am updating a past thread with new info to see if opinions change

    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 Wheeler - D Weber - G Price Holtby

    I will be drafting 8th & 9th. Here are the top 20 available players based on FHG rankings by my league's settings (Ignoring McDavid as Mr. Picking 1st has already claimed him).

    G Halak (2) Bobrovsky (3) Rask (7)
    C Kopitar (4) Thornton (8)
    LW Lucic (1) Landeskog (5) Pacioretty (17)
    RW Johansen (9) Oshie (11) Kucherov (13) Voracek (17) MacKinnon (18) PKane (20)
    D Carlson (6) Boychuck (10) Seabrook (12) Franson (14) Giordano (15) Niskanen (19)

    Who am I hoping will be available in the 8-9 slots?

    Knowing that the guy who's drafting 7th and 10th is VERY GOOD at these things and didn't keep any goalies, is there any reason to swipe a goalie if only one is left, knowing that the next best one on the board is Varlamov?

    Note also that the next best LW is Jaden Schwartz, a pretty big drop-off from these three.

    Any must-dodge guys?

    You are hoping for Kopitar, Johansen or Voracek to be there, but that may be stretching belief. After those three, I'd look at these three forwards next: MacKinnon, Pacioretty, Landeskog, (Kane's legal issues have me worried), these two dmen: Carlson & Giordano, and then my preferred goalie would be Bobrovsky. With your strength in goal, I wouldn't bother reaching for another goalie.

    Bottleneckers (12/16 in 2022)
    16 team, points only. G: 2-W, 4-SO.
    Top 9F, 4D & 1G . Keep 15, Max 23
    F: J. Robertson, J. Hughes, Tavares, Lafreniere, Cozens, Newhook, Teravainen, Domi, R. Strome, Laine, Rossi, Raymond, Holtz, Perfetti
    D: Bouchard, McAvoy, Morrissey, Heiskanen
    G: Vasilevskiy

    I don't think you should take a goalie. The two you have are rock solid and I'd focus more on adding to your team than trying to limit others.

    LW is interesting and I think I'd target Lucic along with one of the RWers. I'd rank them Johansen, MacKinnon, Voracek, Kucherov, Oshie. I'm staying away from Kane this year.
