Hard choices
Hello everyone,
In a salary keeper fantasy, we need to protect 10 players each year. We have an expansion this summer and we protect only 9 players, the new GM will draft and we will afterward protect our 10th player.
I have some player that I will keep without hesitation (no-brainer) : Pastrnak (6.7M$), Barkov (5.9M$), Chabot (0.9M$), Svechnikov (0.9M$), Keller (0.9M$), F. Andersen (5M$), and Aho (???).
I will probably protect Gostisbehere because of the rarity of cheap D-Man at 4.5M$
So, I still have one spot to protect before the expansion to select only one of those players :
Erik Karlsson (???)
Zach Werenski (???)
Charlie McAvoy (???)
Rickard Rakell (3.8M$)
Patrick Kane (10.5M$)
Jack Eichel (10M$)
Kyle Connor (???)
Do you have any preference?
An expectation of salary for Karlsson, Werenski and McAvoy?
Thank you for your help
PS. If a rookie isn't activated during the season, we can protect them automaticaly. I don't need to protect Heiskanen, Strome and Hart
PSS. I won the lottery and have the 1st draft pick (J. Hughes)
