    If you have the cap room, than Connor would be my choice.

    I'm going Couturier here. I like him just as much and based on the title was having a tough time deciding between the two, but leaning a touch towards Couts. The salary makes it no contest.

    Knowing a little bit more about your league depth, positions, and cap would solidify it.

    8 keepers 10 teams - 80 players kept.
    Dress 12 F 6 D 2 G.
    It looks like I'm keeping 6 forwards and 2 d-men.
    Goalies are not super valued in our league except for the top 5-8 and I don't own any of them.
    I have space to spend, I mean basically the cheaper the better but strictly based on points i liked Connor's upside.
    Obviously Couturier saves a fairly significant chunk of cash.

    I worry about Couturier's defensive acumen meaning that he'll lose out on some offensive minutes.

    Thanks for everybody's input. Was leaning towards Connor (hard to ignore those slick hands and I weight entertainment value in my decisions) but it's a close call.

    Couturier for me. His next contract may be more than what Connor gets, but likely not a whole lot more.

    Who are your other keepers, this is a pretty good pair of players if this is the keep 8 in sig.

    Give me Couturier as well. Connor is the better player but you'd be paying an extra 3M for an extra 10-15 points. You can get better value from 3M in cap space somewhere else.

    Tough to fault you on any of those. Though I could see an argument for either Kling or Klef over Theodore due to similar production for a slightly smaller cap hit.

    Unless there are positional requirements for your keepers I think I'd keep both Connor and Couturier and let Theodore do into the draft. I think you'd have an easier time redrafting him if you want. Its definitely close though.

    Yeah, to get a good defenseman on a decent contract is almost impossible in my league, and I just can't stomach the idea of going into the draft having to draft 5 good defensemen.

    Forwards on the other hand are plentiful. I'm also pretty bullish on Theodore I think he's pretty underrated.

    Thanks for answering about the other keepers. I do think it comes down to one of those forwards, unless you want to also keep Klefbom instead, since D are scarce. I still lean Couturier over Connor, but I think I'd keep Klefbom over either given what you said.

    Thanks for your help. Yeah I think originally I was leaning to keeping 3 D. Both Klingberg and Klefbom have pretty great contracts, but as players they each have their warts. It's definitely a tough call, but part of what makes the 'limited' keeper element fun every off-season. Also means that a lot of good players go back into the draft pool.
