Keeper Selection plus G upgrade?

[gogoayane]

Hi all - I need to choose 8 keepers plus 3 rookies (marked with R-). I've bolded my picks but can use your thoughts also.

My goalie situation is pretty bad with only Andersen as true starter. I may be able to acquire both Markstrom and Demko (at the expense of picks and Dubois) but it also means I need to open up more keeper room. What is your thought on this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Looks good,
But think I'd keep Barrie over Gustafson?
Yeah your goalies are thin?
Do you take a flyer on a Koskinen as a rookie and hope for the best?
Trading him out for Strome?
Boom vs Bust. It's a gamble.
Good Luck.

I agree with JAC123. I wouldn't keep Gustafson over Barrie or Yandle
He is 27 who just had a breakout.
Other are proven players.
I wouldn't do that trade for those goalies.
I would consider keeping Kuemper. 2nd straight season he has played great for them when Raanta has gone down.

I’d be okay only keeping Andersen for goalies, he’s a top 3 fantasy goalie - draft your number two and backup. And I would easily keep Barrie over Gustafsson.

[gogoayane]

My worry on Barrie is that Reilly will take up most of the PP and is the go to D. Gustafsson is the top D for Chi. But I do think they are kind of a toss up and Leafs are a better team.

I thought about keeping Koskinen as a wild card but that would mean I have to give up Barrie / Gustafsson. I'm just not sure what's gonna happen with EDM.

[gogoayane]

So it sounds like I shouldn't invest in the Van duo?

Rumor has it the Bergerons groin injury didnt heal after getting shot, I wouldn't keep him with that news.
I like Gustaffson over Barrie but think it's close. I also like Yandle in your format but HATE Kostinen. He'll dig a hole in a few categories for you, negating what Freddie does.
I'd look to trade Barrie&Bergeron for an upgrade in net, and then try to improve an already good roster in your draft .

On 2nd thought I might move Dubois and Bergeron and keep Barrie.
Dubois and Clm will struggle to score goals, and with Panarin not on his wing anymore it'll effect his numbers.
I like Markstrom but think you might be able to do better if you offered Dubois&Bergeron.
I'd keep Tolvanen in his spot, that team needs goal scorers, he might have an impact as the season progresses.

R - Erik Gustafsson. Is he a rookie for you?
R - Quinn Hughes Van - D
Frederik Andersen Tor - G
R - Mikko Koskinen Edm - G

Not sure Id keep PLD or Strome since you have a bunch of C already. I would try and keep both Barrie and Gustafsson

[gogoayane]

Unfortunately gustafsson isn't a rookie in our league (played 3 seasons already). I really wanted to keep a stud D as I never do in the past. So I was hoping Gustafsson is the future stud and hoping Hughes will pan out right.

I didn't know about Bergeron groin injury until know. Thought it was in pace for recovery.
