    Cool Help: Picking Rookie Keeper

    In a keep 4 + 1 rookie setting, which rookie keeper should I target for next season?
    Categories
    G , A , PPP , +- , SOG , FW , HITs , BLK
    My keepers (Malkin, Giroux, Wheeler, and Hedman)

    Rookies on FA:
    Svechnikov, Heiskanen, Aston-Reese, Ullmark

    Svechnikov LW,RW (3rd line, 2nd pp)
    Heiskanen D (2nd pairing, 1st/2nd pp)
    Aston-Reese c,LW,RW (2nd line, 2nd pp)
    Ullmark G (timeshare with Hutton?)

    I always favour peripheral players and both Svechnikov and Aston-Reese are good options. Heiskanen is playing 24+ minutes a game, but needs to start filling those categories more. Maybe the off season he’ll bulk up a bit and start to hit and blk.
    Anyhow, which rookie has the best outlook for next season in your opinion?
    Cheers!

    Which Svechnikov?
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    Svechnikov without a doubt in my mind. He should start filling out your goal and power-play points more as he rises to the top-6. Until then he'll still give good shot and hit totals.

    If it's Andrei, 100%. If it's Evgeni, then I would want to know how many of each position you start before I picked between Heiskanen and Aston-Reese.

    Svechnikov or Heiskanen. You shouldn’t be considering Aston-Reese or Ullmark in my opinion.

    Yeah, it's between Svech & Heisk. You'll have plenty opportunity redraft ZAR & Ullmark.

    If you start 5/6D I probably lean Heisk. If you start 4D, A. Svech. - if it's E. Svech - then it's Heisk regardless

    Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO

    Forwards:
    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    Defense:
    B. Burns, J. Klingberg, R. Josi, J. Slavin

    Andrei Svechnikov. My bad for not mentioning that. I was unaware of the other.
    We start 2 C,LW,RW each and 4D per day plus a utility spot. I have 6 bench spots.
    Do we think Svechnikov makes top 6 next season? He was there for the most part but Nino bumped everyone down. Ferland is a FA aswell.

    His brother Evgeny plays in the AHL so he's also a prospect.

    I would keep the Svechnikov you own in your minors.
