    Default Final keeper decisions

    Dynasty league, final decision on forwards.
    Standard offensive cats G A P PPP SOG +\- PIM

    Can only keep 2:

    Schenn
    Kuznetsov
    Bennett
    Kyrou
    Rakell

    I guess the obvious choices may seem like Schenn and Kuz. A part of me is leaning Kyrou and Bennett. Kyrou I think will continue to get more and more ice time, PP time etc. Bennett looked really good with his new team, and adds a nice sandpaper element which can be hard to come by. Schenn seems to be a bit past his prime now. Kuz seems like his best years are behind him and just looks lazy and not interested at times out on the ice. What do you guys think?
    In too many leagues to name.

    Depends where Kuz ends up. Could end up in Buffalo, Seattle, CBJ, who knows. I'd say if Kuz doesn't move I'd still keep him.

    But the order is:
    Schenn
    Kuz

    Bennett, Kyrou, Rakell.

    If keeping Bennett over Kyrou or visa-versa makes or breaks your team, your team wasn't in contention anyways.

    I would keep Kuznetsov and Schenn.

    Unless you are a risk taker - then I might consider Kyrou.

    I’d go all risky on Kuz and Kyrou. Although I would wait (if u can) to see the possible changes that happen. Good luck.

    It would be helpful to see the rest of your team. Bennett and Schenn are one type of player so to speak while Rakell, Kyrou and Kuz are another. The first two certainly have more grit than the former three. Thing is, you apparently don't count hits as a scoring cat in your league, just PIM. Schenn and Bennett will be far more valuable in a multi cat format (including hits and PIM) than one with more limited scoring cats. If you are just looking for points, Kuz and Kyrou are likely the best choices. If you need some PIM, then Bennett and Schenn are likely the way to go. I have owned Rakell for a few years now and he has just been totally underwhelming. I'm cutting him, you should too. The middle ground would be to keep one of Bennett or Schenn and one of Kuz or Kyrou. I'm going to recommend that. What Bennett did in Florida was just too enticing to not follow up on, I'm keeping him and hoping the Sam we all expected has finally arrived. I like Kyrou as well, bit of a gamble but lots of uncertainty with Kuz as well and he seems to be a 60 point player, not a PPG guy like some expected and I think Kyrou can get there, keeping him is an investment on the future perhaps. In closing, Kuz and Schenn are the sexy names here and you may well be able to trade them and turn them into something that will help you. Good Luck!

    I just erased my original post since after writing it all out, this was a little more difficult than I thought at first glance. I can see why you posted for perspectives on this.

    Yes Kuz/Schenn are the safest/most established so if you're competing now, it's prob best not to overthink.

    If you're not competing, and looking a bit longer term, then I think you're 100% right to at least consider the potential upside of Kyrou/Bennett over Kuz/Schenn.

    If this is me, (and I'm not competing this year) I'm almost for sure keeping Kyrou in your setup. 2nd pick would totally depend on a) the rest of my roster and b) my knowledge of other GMs and who I think they might be willing to trade for.

    Tougher one than expected - good luck!

    If you aren't competing now, keep them and move them for something later.

    I would think someone would accept a Kuz for Kyrou trade mid season.
