    Default Who to go with? Last spot

    In a keep 8 head to head league... trying to decide on last keeper position.
    Scoring is:
    G, A, PPP, SOG, FW, SHP

    Trying to decide between the following players for my last spot... I realize they do not all play the same positions but I am more concerned with my best players considering my categories.

    Nuge
    Barzal
    Atkinson
    Meier

    If I could get these guys ranked top to bottom it would be great

    For me:
    Meier (dual wing eligible and age)
    Barzal (probably highest ceiling, but a C)
    Atkinson
    Nuge.

    Would be good to know how many players you start at each position and what are your other keepers before answer your Q.

    Meier will give you more shots, Barzal will give you faceoffs. Offensive upside I'll give a slight (very slight) edge to Meier, but I can see that going either way. Top of the list will depend on which peripheral stat you need more of. Personally, I'm a bit scared of Barzal's future with Trotz around, and I never trust the Islanders. I think they overachieved this past season and will have major regression coming this year. While San Jose's offense is absolutely insane. Meier could wind up as the top forward on a team with the best top 2 defencemen since Pronger and Niedermayer. So I would go with Meier but it's close.
    After that, a decent gap till Atkinson and Nuge is at the bottom.

    GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.

    Barzal's your best offensive option. Shitty FO guy 40-43%
    Meier's got the wing flexibility & 75+pt ability and will cover shots better than Barzal

    Atkinson's best area is SOG. Expect his G totals to droop slightly this year.
    RNH is your best FO option & should keep LW eligibility - solid bonus there. He could easily set a new career high in points again this season.

    Meier, Nuge, Atkinson, Barzal.

    Though I would be curious to see your other 7.

    I would be tempted to keep Nuge and Meier while dropping Voracek.
    Then trade Barzal for whatever the other guy offers, and see what you can get for Voracek around the league.
