I like Granlund, Arvidsson and Larkin. Decent salary cap and great point potential. Granlund for sure, Arvy and Larkin a toss up. Pick the one you prefer. I think Arvy is a little cheaper.
Which two of the following six players should I protect in my salary-cap league? Ryan Getzlaf, Patrice Bergeron, Mikael Granlund, Viktor Arvidsson, Dylan Larkin, Ondrej Kase.
I'm allotted six keepers, but I'm already leaning towards protecting Phil Kessel and William Karlsson. I'm also considering protecting up to two d-men, since in a 12-team cap league, having quality depth at that position is difficult, whereas if you're desperate enough for a forward, you can often find someone half-decent on the free-agency list. Lastly, I'm not in the habit of protecting goalies, since in my cap league, each team starts only one goalie, not two. I'd probably only waste a keeper spot on a goalie if they were either grossly underpaid or a true elite, but neither's currently the case for me.
Hence, I've two keeper spots left for my remaining forwards and I've narrowed the selection of those I'm considering down to six. Beyond that, I'm at a complete loss.
(I'm down a second-round pick in the upcoming draft too, for further context.)
