Last 2 keeper suggestions

[n.ville]

At the current moment I have decided on 13/15 potential keepers (pending any drastic changes before the season ends). I'm sitting 9th/10 and want to decide who I should move to acquire early draft picks for next season. My league details and team are in my signature. My current keeper decisions are as follows, in no particular order.

1. Monahan (cgy)
2. Gaudreau (cgy)
3 Wheeler (wpg)
4. Panarin (nyr)
5. Giroux (phi)
6. Meier (sjs)
7. Arvidsson (nsh)
8. R. Smith (vgk)
9. Danault ? (mon)
10. Yandle (fla)
11. Andersen (tor)
12. Grubauer (col)
13. Samsonov (wsh)
14. ?
15. ?
Front runners: Saros, Blackwood, Gustafsson, Gusev, Skinner, Granlund, Suzuki, Kreider

Tough calls to make! I'd probably go with 2 of Saros, Gustafsson, Skinner, Granlund and Kreider. I am not sure if I would have Danault in there, as well as he is playing. But Im assuming you dont need to decide for a while so you can see how things go.

Saros and Suzuki would be my picks.

I wouldn't decide yet. Essentially if you can swing a 2 for 1 keeper upgrade with any of your bottom 3 or 4 keepers/fringe keepers that's what we should be looking for right now. Upgrades on the bottom 5 keepers, most of those guys are fairly interchangeable so who cares which ones you keep, let's upgrade as many as we can and keep what's left.

If you're 9th out of 10 ans it isn't because if bad luck, none of those first 13, except maybe samsonov, are safe from trade either

I'm thinking for now I will do my best to try and upgrade the bottom three (that's including the spot I had Danault in), by trading off the remaining guys in hopes for the right package. Guys in this league are particularly stubborn however so maybe deadline trades (kreider potentially leaving new york, etc.) may spark their interest.

Update: i've traded monahan, kreider, petry, 8th, 8th, 9th for Guentzel, Niederreiter, 1st, 6th, 6th

[Magicstew]

Not a bad trade, depends what the 1st gets you. I would be looking to try and move Blackwood/Saros for draft pick or player upgrade as you are solid in net/.

I've received an offer of Hall, Kapanen, McAvoy, M. Jones for my Samsonov, Granlund, Labanc.... I'm big on Samsonov, I was absolutely firm on keeping him, is Hall enough to move him? I also have Andersen, Grubauer, Blackwood and Saros. If I get Jones though I honestly doubt I'd get much for him in a trade. Thoughts?

Jones doesn't do a lot for you. Really this is Hall for Samsonov and I personally wouldn't do that.

Keepers are currently as follows:
1. Gaudreau
2. Panarin
3. Wheeler
4. Guentzel
5. Giroux
6. Meier
7. Suzuki
8. R.Smith
9. Kakko
10. Andersen
11. Grubauer
12. Samsonov
13. Saros
14. Yandle
15. ?
Options: Arvidsson, Buchnevich, Toffoli, Kubalik, Gusev, Labanc, Bertuzzi, Hronek, Pulock, Parayko, Ekholm.

I had Arvidsson as the last keeper but I'm beginning to question whether that is set in stone. If Kreider moves does that make Buch the keeper? And with the trade to Vancouver how does that effect Toffoli beyond being a rental this season?
