Just a few things to get this rolling:
-What does "limited keeper based off standings" mean?
-In unique scoring set ups, like yours, it's really helpful if you post lasts years points (or points per game) as a reference point. It takes forever to calculate that stuff, so if you have it at your fingertips, it's worth adding.
- you are keeping 6 RWs, and no LWs? I think I let someone like Perron go, and keep a LW.
- I also like Hamilton, would be looking for a way to hold on to him.

Also, you only have 4 prospects listed and can keep 5; is there anyone you could trade to pick up an extra prospect as your 5th keeper there?

Lots of choices there Flynn! I'm in the same pool so I will supply some of the information requested above...

1st keeps 10, 2nd keeps 11, 3-8th keeps 12, 9th & 10th keep 13. Fantasy Points Per Game beside players name below.

C: Monahan5.36, E.Staal5.84, Stepan4.52, Backes4.43, Hyman3.38
LW: Bailey5.66, Hoffman4.57, E.Kane5.23, Lucic3.49
RW: P.Kane5.79, Draisitil5.46, Forsberg6.18, Radulov5.81, Eberle 4.48, Perron5.94, Okopso4.03
D: Barrie5.6, Krug5.27, Hamilton4.12, Goli3.48, Spurgeon4.27, Myers3.41, Ekholm3.25, Morrissey2.8
G: Vasilevski8.9, Rask7.62, Smith6.62, Hutton7.34
Prospects: Kyrou, Bertuzzi, DeBrusk, Yamamoto

Bailey is LW/RW, Backes C/RW, Draisaitl C/RW, Hoffman LW/RW, Perron LW/RW, Eberle C/RW. We use duo positions as Fantrax assigns them so obviously this is subject to change in some cases, some players could get duo and others could lose it.

Trades are allowed until keeper deadline including picks. I won't submit my keeper choices for you since I am in the league and we have touched on the topic personally before but obviously you have multiple spare keepers you potentially can trade for picks/prospects or maybe even 2 for 1 upgrades.

Great post. The one thing you didn't mention is when your keeper deadline is....

For example, I still like Bailey over someone like Eberle or Perron...especially if JT re-signs (which we won't know until July 1st). I also think Perron's value could drop if he doesn't re-sign in Vegas.

I think OP also has to look closely at Smith, given how weighted this pool is to goalies. Surely he can be traded as opposed to outright dropped?

Keeper deadline is August 8th but I will also note that there is a good majority of teams with solid keepers since its a first year pool so trades will likely get harder the closer we get to the deadline. Only a handful of teams have 5 prospects too, with only two or three having spares they will need to trade or drop (but some of those are pretty meh). I'll leave it to the Dobberforums and Flynn from here! Best of luck determining who your keeping and moving buddy!

Thanks red! I am also interested in keeping Hoffman,Bailey,E.Kane,Stepan. Do you like Hamilton over krug and Barrie? I'm also currently shopping some picks and a prospect and in some trade talks with Hamilton and E.kane.
