I have some tough final decisions in my keeper league. Our cap is based on actual real world salaries.
Which forward do you like between Kuznetsov ($7.8M), W. Karlsson (unknown), Barkov ($5.9M).
And which defenseman do you like better? Barrie ($5.5M), Dumba ($2.55M) and Pietrangelo ($6.5M).
I have some big cap numbers to deal with next year so the cheap options of Dumba and Karlsson are enticing, but I'm not as confident in them as the other options. What do you guys think?
Without knowing the set-up and categories of your league, I would say that I definitely prefer Barkov at forward, and I will go with Barrie on defense (Dumba could see his contract double this off-season, as he is an RFA).
