I think de Haan's injury issues will lead to disappointment. Move him.
Larsen will probably fail too, but I think in your deep league he's a great risk. Expect failure, but success would make you look genius and if he fails you can just drop him last year. He's not a guy you have to wait on for five years to discover he sucks, you'll probably find out before December.
Auvitu - I'm not seeing it. Depth player (5 or 6)
Maatta - good upside, but so injury prone that I wonder what you could get for him.
Schultz is 50/50 to me, this year will tell us
Hulstrom the odds are against him, but he's intriguing. Like Larsen, we'll know soon enough
Koekkoek is probably going to be less than 35 points when he peaks
The rest of your D look great

1. That's a good question. My gut tells me it will be Henrique. But what if Zajac has a chemistry with him the way he did with Parise? Probably not. Too old now, best days are behind him. But what I suspect is that in the second half it will/should be Zacha - the only player who can keep up with him.
2) Stephen Johns in the tough mold. I don't see another Parayko on the way. Just the obvious ones (like Matheson) or the long/doubtful shots (like Larsen)

Waive Kesler and his albatross of a contract. All your problems are solved just for losing a 50-point guy who you could just replace with Wennberg. Yes you lose FOW but you really do solve a lot of problems here. I doubt anyone will take that contract from you so just waive him

You'll get one more year out of that combo, easily. So start looking to your future. Hellebuyck is a year away, so drafting him there will be perfect. Won't help you this year though. Fabbri if you want immediate help

Long-term: Connor, Bjorkstrand, Aho
But Connor I think will be the only one of the three not in the NHL this year. He deserves to be, but I suspect that he won't. He has to steal a job

I can improve my position in the 1st round to lock in on either D. Strome or Puljujarvi but it will cost me Fabbri to do it.
Worth the move?

I take the reliable guys early, but only if I'm happy with my group of keepers. My current keepers I assume I'll keep next year, so I'm drafting for this year only. At first. Later in the draft I take some high-upside guys in case one or two become my keeper, elbowing aside one of my current keepers. Priority is having two reliable goalies - keeper goalies.

How valuable do you think a guy like ROR will be this yr in fantasy leagues with FW? Debating on reaching a fair bit on him with my 12th overall in my redraft league. I kept Backstrom, Stammer, Tarasenko, Karlsson, Josi, OEL so FW will be hard to come by with 2 centers kept and one getting ~400FW/yr.
Either that or I’m reaching on a goalie (Dubnyk, Andersen, Anderson), or suring up my D with Barrie, Giordano, or Shattenkirk.
