Dahlin is gonna limit Risto's upside, have to go with Chychyrn at this point as it looks like he's Arizona's top dog now.
So Chychrun just scored his 18th goal of the season, a PPG, and is now at 39 points in 53 games. We keep 3 D and I was planning on keeping Ekblad, Klingberg and Ristolainen but Chychrun has been a very pleasant surprise since I plucked him off the waiver wire at the start of the season. Our league, first in signature, has hits and shots which is why I was inclined to keep Risto. He does have 4 seasons of 40 + points to go with the hits and shots. Now wondering if I should keep Chychrun over either of the other two. Decisions, decisions!

One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
I agree, Chy is a keep over either of those players, with Ari trying to move OEL (and not being able to do so) and his declining numbers over the past few years, they're not going to "stay the course" and run their $8mil D-man over Chychyrn just for optics, he's their top dog and only Soderstrom has anything to really say about it and at best he'd be taking it over in 3-4 years and that's if he hits his highest upside.
Risto gives you multi-cat goodness, as Kovy said, Dahlin will limit his upside, good chance he gets moved though, Buffalo needs to shake up their roster, only question is does he get moved to a better, same or worse situation *shrug*, Klingberg is money for points, but doesn't really provide a lot in periphs, plus has Heiskanen nipping at his heels.
My advice, keep Chy then decide if you want a very likely 50-ish point D with 60 point upside with poor periphs, or a 30ish point D with 40 point upside who gives good periphs.

In your set up with hits and SoG Chychrun is top 10 D if u didn’t have +- he be top 5
I believe he is second only to Hamilton in SoG and first in Goals
Stud! By far your best D and youngest of the bunch

I think I'd keep Chychrun over both Klingberg and Ristolainen.
The upside of Chychrun has always been there. His ability to stay healthy is whats held him back.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Chychrun is the pick. His shooting percentage is sky high, but his role as the top dog in AZ seems secure.

Thanks for the replies!
Chychrun it is! While Risto provides the hits and shots, I imagine that I can pick him up later in the redraft than I could Klingberg so I think I'll go with the duo of Chych and Kling.
Appreciate the feedback! Cheers.
