I think I'd consider Dumba or Trouba over Yandle if you keep an additional D--for keeper value, but also because I think they'll contribute pretty similarly this year once you consider the BLK and SHP cats. But Connor if you go with a F.
Keep 8 G/A/+-/PIM/S/BLK/PPP/SHP/GWG - 4C 4LW 4RW 7D H2H
My team has won twice and been in the running the last 7 years until a fall from grace that saw me miss the playoffs in 2017/2018. In 2018/2019 with a stacked team I was bounced in the first round. My draft picks are mostly intact and I will be pushing for another championship this year. Dmen tend to be in short supply and goalies always seem to be kept highly. I like my chances of scrapping together solid tending with so many split duties this year.
It seems I have a plethora of fringe keepers which makes it difficult to make my final cuts
I suspect these guys are my locks:
Gaudreau LW
Malkin C
Guentzel LW RW
DeBrincat LW RW
Lindholm C RW
Chabot D
Murray G
8th spot:
Yandle D
K Connor LW
Kopitar C
Dumba D
Varly G
Trouba D
Nuge C LW
Risto D
My initial instinct was to hold onto Connor but I could easily see a case for Yandle and a better distribution between F/D.

I would go with Dumba.
Connor or Dumba for me. With no hits - I'd lean Connor.
Tough to cut him, tbh, but you are keeping 2 LWs already... If it were me I'd try to move Connor and Murray for a top 5-10 goalie OR Connor and Geno for a younger, stud C... but I'm just noticing that FOWs don't count so Geno has some added value and should still tear it up for a couple more years.
Whatever you end up doing -- best of luck!

Dumba would be my pick as well.

Dumba over Yandle - just look at Yandles pts % from PP last year.
Then Connor as my last one.

Connor would be my 8th keeper.

I like Dumba or Trouba here. Both likely finish pretty close in your set up imo. Take your favourite.

This has been helpful guys thanks.
I think I am going to go with my initial gut and keep Conner. I'm a big Dumba fan but I know Connor wont make it past the first round and with Dumba's injury I think the odds of redrafting are somewhat higher.
Yandle; if anyone can sustain that type of PP production it's him on that loaded unit. He is an offensive wizard.
