I can only pick one of these players to keep in a $ league

[robert esquire]

The prices for these guys are next to their names:

Josi $6
Letang $3
Atkinson $1
Drouin $3

All are good deals financially (we have $100 for 18 players). But which one is the best value to keep?

Categories are P/A/PPP/SHP/Shots/Blked Shots

I thank you in advance

Need to see your lineup and starting format to have more informed advice. Atkinson looks to be the best value.

[robert esquire]

Don't have a lineup as yet...just protected players until the draft. I have Laine, Burns, Draisaitl, Holtby and Bobrovsky as my other protected players.

Don't have a lineup as yet...just protected players until the draft. I have Laine, Burns, Draisaitl, Holtby and Bobrovsky as my other protected players.

But how many positions do you fill? For example, if you only roster 12 forwards & 4 defensemen, and you have Burns, then you don't want to take Josi as you need lots of forward talent.

In a vacuum, hard to beat Atkinson at a 1$.

[Belexus75]

to me you roll the dice on letang, if he stays healthy he will be close to atkinson in points and will add much more...

if you want safe bet i still roll with Josi no matter of roster format..just best player available after letang

[Sulla]

Letang for me... Primarily as its a toss up between him and Josi and he's half the cost...

[butch]

your not telling me the whole picture here ; letang if he could be counted on to stay healthy is probably a good move if the likes of josi and other high end D are 6+

[robert esquire]

There is no greater picture since the rest of the team is decided in open bid. 4 D 10 F 2 G 1 Utilitiy

Roster to fill at auction draft: 4 D 10 F 2 G 1 Utility

[RizzeeDizzee]

Letang for me. Risky, but a potential difference maker unlike nearly any other dman.

[Magicstew]

I would gamble on Letang for $3 as worth keeping a D man and when he plays he puts up points. Big question is how much would guys go for if you threw them back? How much are your other protections? Atkinson and Drouin look like pretty good value to me.

[bifteksupernova]

I would say Letang. Great value at the price, and if he starts hot you have the option to trade him for a more stable player if you would like. Literally the past three seasons I've seen people make trades for Letang mid season, someone will always take him.

ok , then I'd say Atkinson is great value because if he re-enters the bidding process he likely doesnt go as cheaply as $1
