    Default Newbie keeper league questions

    I am in a 12 team "keeper" league but we only keep 6. Last year was year 1 and we're all kinda feeling our way through it. It's yahoo standard h2h so G A +/- ppp hits sog W sv% gaa and SO

    Anyway my lock keepers are Makar Fox Eichel and Ehlers.
    I have 2 more spots and a bunch of maybes to fill them
    Candidates include Malkin Dahlin Hoglander Farabee? Slim pickings as I traded a bunch of middle round guys for draft picks next year.

    Goalies are samsonov swayman and Ned from Carolina
    I'm leaning Dahlin and Malkin for now, even though I see a lot of Malkin hate in keeper forums- I'm assuming that's for more traditional keeper league with a higher number of keepers. With only 6 keepers it's probably smarter to just try to get the best players for next year right?

    Of course if spots in front open up my goalies that could change things.

    Also- I'm not seeing any rankings from dobber on keepers- just for points only leagues.
    Am I missing something? Or does everyone use those as a base and make their own adjustments for the other categories?

    You would benefit from fantasyhockeygeek. It will help you determine player value based on league scoring settings. Dobbers 300 list is great, but only one of several ingredients in valuing players.

    I am missing something then. Thought that was a year by year thing that only updated in August.
    I'll check it out again, thanks

    i think i would possibly keep one of your goalies instead of Dahlin. With his super down year this year it's likely he can be easily reacquired via draft next season. Initially i would lean towards Samsonov. He's likely the best option here, but, if Rask retires, the B's could turn to Swayman next season, who they have already leaned on this year, even when Halak was healthy.

    Unless you have some other hidden gems on your team, Malkin is the best option here too

    Dobber's keeper rankings are produced monthly. And you are correct those are points only. You could also check out the top 100 roto rankings too and compare how each player falls out

    Thanks guys. I should have added that I have picks 1,4,6, and 7 in the first round of the leftovers. As I see the league,there shouldn't be any no doubt type guys left unprotected. Unless someone else has a far different valuation of their players. We'll see.

    Swayman intrigues me because I assume one of halak or rask leaves. Halak has been a pretty solid own as the 1b there. I'm leaning him over samsonov, but it's too easy on these goalies and probably all goalies until the annual carousel there shakes out.

    Dahlin I feel was pretty night and day after the coach left, and was even decent without eichel and hall. Plus minus may be garbage, but I think he'll put up points.

    Seems like consensus so far is the 4 guys then malkin and best goalie left.

    I would go Dahlin and Samsonov. With that many picks up top you should be able to fill in the forwards but would be starting with some insanely young and strong D! Would also agree with above and keep and eye on the Swayman situation as he has been impressive.

    I'm going Malkin & Samsonov as well.

    Malkin is still a 90point forward. and Samsonov is going to be really good.

    The state of Buffalo combined with Dahlin's poor year should allow him to slide in a re-draft.

    This!

    With your draft picks (1,4,6,7) that you have available in the first round, you will easily grab a new keeper to replace Malkin going forward in the years to come.

    If you wanna list your whole roster, there might be someone else you're over looking that we could suggest. However with the 1st pick of the draft, you'll either pick your fringe keeper back up, or have someone better.

    With the info provided, I'd go Malkin/Samsonov. I would suggest adding a signature to your profile by going to "settings" in the top right of the page, then "edit signature" in the left portion of the trade. There you can add a signature of your teams roster to make asking questions easier and shorter on the forum. You can see peoples signatures on the post as templates/examples.

    Surprised by the love for samsonov- I agree but thought people would be down on him and I'd grab him back at draft or early season trade.
