Re: Stupid not to keep for next season?
Bouchard has huge upside, so he'd be someone I want to keep because of that. However, a lot will depend on if you can afford to stash him. I don't know if he will play much next year. Long-term, though, his value is quite high, imo.
Klefbom's value is closely tied to Bouchard's. I think Klefbom will be fine for next season, but it won't be too long before Bouchard takes over and Klef's value all but disappears. I'd want both on my team to hedge my bets.
I'm a big believer that Hamilton will rebound next year. The shots are still there, and I really think Faulk will be dealt away for forward help, giving Hamilton more opportunity.
Morrissey has looked really good this year and with Byfuglien injured so often, I think Morrissey has some sneaky value.
The last player I'd want on this list is Theodore. He isn't a horrible option, but I like the others much more.
