With those categories, and even with the injury risk, I like Letang. He's a monster when healthy, and if he only misses 5-15 games you should still come out ahead based on the stats of the guy you plug in for him.
I have to have my keepers locked in a few days. I've decided to go with 4F, 1D and 2G after lost of the advice I've gotten here. I'm keeping Ovi, Matthews, Marner, Malkin, Price, Bob and a D.
My question is this. Does Chabot make sense? I've got to pick one of OEL, Letang, Subban, Jones and Chabot.
I wonder long term if Jones or Chabot are the best options for my team but who should I pick given the cats my league has...
Thanks for the advice, will rep where I can!

I may go subban here based on your stats,
id rnchab4th behind Jones, subban and letang for coming season. might even drop Malkin and go 2 d
I also like Subban here. I think he is going to have a good season.

The issue I guess is this; next year in the draft I don't hold a pick until the 3rd round. Even then, my picks are bad. I can likely find players to plug the pims and hits cats on D fairly easily. Do I lock up a point producing D man that I can keep going forward for many years in Chabot knowing that I likely won't be able to get him in the future? Or do I take Letang who is the safe bet for this year or even Subban but beyond is certainly not the right choice.

Letang is easily my choice.
Also, don't make decisions now based on something that may be relevant in a year. Who knows what picks, players, or situation you're in next year.

I don't like this idea... losing Malkin could really, really hurt.
I'd keep Letang on D
I'm not sure I get all the PK love. I think people are going to be mildly disappointed that he doesn't put up monster numbers this year. If he hits 50pts owners should rejoice.
Chabot would be option 2 for me. With an argument of keeping Seth Jones instead.
PK would be my 4th D option

I've got it as Letang/Chabot/Jones as who I'm really looking at. I don't get all the Subban hype and as a D-man on the PP he's very predictable to the point where I think he won't put up the numbers that people want. OEL is going to put up 45 points and 15 goals like he always tends to but that's not enough compared to the other two haha

I would go with Chabot here. Seth Jones would be my second option.

Letang for me
After looking at all of the opinions, most people say Letang. Looking at stat comparisons, and future projections Letang should only go down and I kind of see his ceiling now as 60 points but he will fill other cats too. Looking at his injury history it's terrifying beyond the last two seasons, I have the fear that Letang could revert to that.
Looking at PKs stats trends, I really don't see the crazy hype. Guy is truly overrated.
I think Jones is prime for a break out season and I could regret it if I don't take him.
Chabot on the other hand, has elite written all over him and he will be one of the top 3 D in the league in short order. I think that if I don't take Chabot now, I will never be able to get a player like him again unless I hold a top 3 draft choice.
I'm thinking now I'm going with Chabot, Malkin, Matthews, Ovi, Marner, Price and Bob as my keepers

I think you have to look for now and the now pick is Letang. You never know what will transpire during the season with trades that will open up picks for you for next season. Go with Letang right now.
