10 team, 20-man roster, keep 10, standard scoring
Keepers: Rantanen, Svechnikov, Laine, Olofsson, Hughes, Kaprizov, Shesterkin, Samsonov (may drop if Holtby re-signs)
Pick 2: Bjorkstrand, Fiala, Meier, (also have Suzuki, Yamamoto, Zadina)
Basically i'm going into this year with the mindset of waiting until next year to compete, and therefore looking to make a couple 2 for 1's or 3 for 1's in which i get the best player. So which players are going to be in the best situation to put up points this year?

However, I'd put all three above Olofsson who I see is in your keepers right now.

What is "standard scoring"?
Does it have hits, shots? Are PPG and PPA separate categories, or one? Is +/- a factor, PIMs?
That can really affect the values here, especially Meier.

Hits or no? Because that has a big impact on Meier's stock. Fiala is probably above Bjorkstrand, but I could see Meier anywhere on this list based on settings.

And I agree with all three above Olofsson.

Even with that, I think that spot is only Olofsson's as long as he's producing there or until the sabres get a new toy to try out next to Eichel. The moment he slumps I think he gets moved down the line-up. Think of Skinner's massive fall from grace this past season. And the numbers he was putting up don't seem sustainable so I think that slump could happen sooner into the season than later.
Fiala, Meier and Bjorkstrand have all shown the ability to succeed no matter their line-mates which makes me like them better.

Fingers crossed that Meier (if you pick him) returns to form. Last year was tough to watch.
I like Fiala and Bjorkstrand above Meier but that's simply because I'd be gun shy about San Jose as a whole. But if we're being fair, CBJ and MIN are also lacking in the offensive juggernaut category. Suzuki and Yamamoto are interesting depending on deployment. All said, Fiala Bjorkstrand are at my top.

Yeah Meier seems like he needs a good centerman an pp1 time to rebound. Iirc he was battling Kane for pp1 time. Definitely not a line driver.
Fiala/Bjorkstrand iirc generate alot of shots without support and are pp1 locks, but the lack of surrounding talent limits their points.
Seems like Fiala is the consensus so far.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Bjorkstrand is overhyped right now. Not even close to Fiala and Meier in my opinion. Especially Fiala.
