    Default Keep 4

    First team in signature...

    I have a goalie (Vasilevskiy) & 4 serviceable dmen (Rielly, Barrie, Hamilton, Pulock). I have to select 10 forwards. Here are the easy ones: Stamkos, Tavares, Domi, Rackell, Reinhart, Horvat.

    I need to choose 4 more from this list. I have included this year's points totals / games played for each.
    Getzlaf (often injured but recognizable name) 48pts/67games
    Batherson (top 6 in Ottawa?) 9pts/20g
    Buchnevich (top scorer someday in NY?) 38pts/64g
    Bjorkstrand (more minutes if Panarin leaves) 36pts/77g
    Zucker (down year...low ceiling?) 42pts/81g
    McCann (Crosby's wingman?) 35pts/78g
    Yamamoto (McDavid's future wingman?) 2pts/17g

    I'm looking forward, and can wait for another few seasons. Want home runs, at least as best as I can mange out of these choices, not steady 40 point guys. Thoughts?

    D: Bouchard, McAvoy, Morrissey, Heiskanen
    G: Vasilevskiy

    Getzlaf, Buchnevich, Batherson, Yamamoto. Bjorkstrand is on the bubble for me. I think you could easily swap him in for Bjork/Yamamoto and it not be a big deal though. Those 3 are fairly equal in value imo.

    I'd argue Zucker has to be in that group. Down year for sure... likely dealt... but even if not, I think he's got a 40g home run in him at some point.

    Getz
    Zucker
    Buchnevich
    Bjorkstrand

    Though I do think Batherson will be fantasy relevant... so if Bread Man doesn't leave CBJ (or if they replace his TOI with a UFA), maybe Bath over Bjork for me.

    Bjorkstrand finally looked like he gave a crap the last month. I think he's an easy keep for me.

    My other three:

    Getzlaf
    Zucker
    Batherson

    I do like Buchnevich but I'm still waiting for that "next step" to happen. I haven't seen it yet so until then, he's on the outside. I do think Batherson is the real deal and one you'll want to hold.

    I agree with DD here...

    Bjork had a helluva end to the season.

    Renewing this thread as keeper lists are due shortly after the end of the Stanley Cup finals.
    Nothing has changed with the league or my situation, but here are some things to perhaps consider:
    Is Buchnevich more or less attractive as a keeper with NY's additions like Shesteryorkin, Fox and the high draft pick?
    Did Bjorkstrand have a good enough playoff to earn more TOI next season?
    Is Yamamoto's injury serious enough to warrant an easy drop?

    Thanks for all your forthcoming opinions.

    I'd go Getz, Bjorkstrand, Zucker and then it comes down to a personal preference of Batherson vs Buchnevich. I personally prefer Buch but with the love Batherson gets on these boards, I'd probably keep him and try to find someone to overpay.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Getzlaf
    Buchnevich
    Zucker (if dealt)
    Batherson

    Honestly not thrilled with most of the options. I would put my trading pants on (I almost never take them off) and start making deals for upgrades where possible. Good luck buddy!
