That is such a tough call. I think lots of people would draft Keller at that cap over Backstrom at his cap.
Backstrom is never a 'sexy' pick especially in a cap league. So I think Backstrom is the easier player to re-draft.
Hi guys,
My league is a little funky with the defensemen: Both points and +/- count for 1 point (+/- can there substract 1 pt as well). Forwards are point only.
It is an 18 team cap league where we keep 18 players (9 FW/5 D/2G/2 bench) and we use last year's cap hits for players and team cap ceiling (79.5M$)
I need to keep 7 out of those players:
5.750 Tyler Seguin
0.718 Kevin Labanc
6.700 Nicklas Backstrom
5.800 Cam Atkinson
6.125 Mark Scheifele
8.700 Sidney Crosby
3.789 Rickard Rakell
3.750 Brendan Gallagher
8.250 Ryan Getzlaf
0.886 Clayton Keller ? (feels like a great value to let go)
6.500 Erik Karlsson
5.200 Shea Theodore
2.000 Ryan Pulock ? (3Ds? Cheap and good point producing Ds that arent perennial -30s (OEL) are usually very hard to come by in the draft)
0.925 Noah Hanifin
0.863 Thomas Chabot
4.900 Alex Galchenyuk
My current top 7 would cost 36.6M$ which is somewhat acceptable for 7 out of 18 players. But letting go of keller feels like a dumb move even if Backstrom will almost certainly make more points.
Who would you keep?
P.S. Ignore the roster in my signature. But the league stats are correct.
7 Keepers Salary Cap League (81.5M Cap)/ 18 Teams / 10 FW, 5 D, 2G, 1 Bench). Every 10 games, we compute Top 8 forwards, top 4 Ds and top goalie for those 10 games, then we store the points and computer for the next 10 games, so on and so forth.
FW: 1pt = 1 FPt
D: 1pt = 1 FPt & +/- = +or- 1 FPt
G: (TOI*0.05/GAA)

Well 47 points at under a million is phenomenal production. Also, I see him rebounding to closer to 70 this season after his sophomore slump.
So yes I would keep Keller over backstrom
