    Default Keep 5. 14 Teams. Which 2 do I keep.

    ------------------

    Howdy. Looking to knock some thoughts around early. Things to note. I have no 1st round pick next year and no 4th round pick. Goalies fly off the Shelves in the first round EVERY year because the stat categories mean 40% of your cats are decided by your goalies. Everyone knows this in the league and values starting goalies at a premium. 4 teams have already declared intent to keep 2 goalies. And the 2 last place teams in the league have a combined 5 first round draft picks and will be blowing their 1st round on goalies.

    So if I don't keep at least 2 goalies. I will be hurting next year and nothing good will be available by the time I draft

    On that note, McDavid, Crosby and Hellebuyck are locks to keep. Its the final 2 I am having trouble with. The top Candidates are Zibanejad, Point, Lehner and Fleury. I briefly considered Fox, then decided against him. This league has so many forward positions and utility positions that everyone tries to stack up on Centers for that FOW category and Wingers and position don't matter a whole lot. Fleury is on the last year of his contract next year and Lehner has 4 more years so I am leaning heavy to keep Lehner but will listen to debates on the matter.


    Option 1: McDavid, Crosby, Hellebuyck, Lehner, Zibanejad
    Option 2: McDavid, Crosby, Hellebuyck, Lehner, Point
    Option 3: McDavid, Crosby, Hellebuyck, Zibanejad, point
    Option 4: ????? Option 5????? etc

    Option 1 is who i kept last year. Zibby had me worried but I refused to trade him and lucky me he bounced back.
    Option 2 i was considering because Point is pretty awesome and Kucherov will be back soon.
    Option 3 means I will have to go chasing whichever goalie is available in round 2 of the draft, which will probably be a bunch of Detroit, Ottawa and backups.

    If it were me and my league started only 2 centers, I'd be looking to trade two of Crosby, Point and Zibs. Keep McD and the one you have left, keep Helle, then choose from Lehner (probably the right call) and one of Kaprizov/Connor/Fox.

    Unfortunately the trade deadline is over. I loaded up for the playoffs. Currently in 1st and the favorite for the playoffs.

    I did entertain some trade offers and shop Crosby, but his age is a severe value depreciator. Most of the league GMs are canny enough to note most NHL players have a steady decline after age 32 and Crosby is almost 34.

    He might play well for a few more years being as elite as he is but my guess is his value to me is higher than his value to those willing to take him. I'm not selling him for 0.75c on the dollar. Id rather ride him till I can replace him internally.

    If you're not allowed to trade in the off-season either, I'd go with Option One.

    If position mattered a little more, I would be Fox and Connor ahead of Zib, but as is, Option 1 gets my vote as well.

    Option 1 or 2, depending on which one you've got more confidence in for FOW.

    I think I'm going to lean towards option 2. I said either 1 or 2 before, but the Point contract made me confident he's in Tampa for the long term.
