    Default Keeper Decision

    Starting to look towards next year. First league in signature. Keep 70, but number of keepers per team varies due to trading. Currently have 9 keeper spots, 1st overall, 10th overall and then I don't draft until the 4th round.

    Definite Keepers
    1. Ovechkin
    2. Marchand
    3. E. Kane
    4. Fox
    5. Zibanejad
    6. Wilson
    7. DeBrincat

    Probable
    8. JT Miller

    Final Spot
    Option between Josi & Talbot

    Is there anyone else on my roster I should debate keeping? I am wondering if I should keep Josi, choose the best available player at 1st overall and then risk trying to get Talbot back with my 10th overall pick? I also have Grubauer on my roster, but am not excited for his season after his move to Seattle.

    2nd overall will probably keep Kuemper.
    3rd,4th,6th,9th overall will probably keep Shesterkin, Mrazek or both (big Leaf fan)
    5th overall will keep Hellebuyck
    7th overall may keep Varlamov (if not he will not be keeping a goalie)
    8th overall may keep Lehner or Rask (will not be able to keep both).

    Do I risk not keeping a goalie and take Talbot or another available goalie at 10th overall? Or do I use 1st overall to get a goalie? Waiting 4 full rounds for my first goalie would be too long so missing out on a goalie at 1st and 10th overall would not be good.

    Thanks in advance. Will rep.

    Thanks for all this detail. Of the options given, I like your bolded idea the best. I think you'll get a good goalie at 10th overall still.

    I'd let Talbot go. His year seems like it was a bit of a fluke, and I wouldn't plan on grabbing him that early. I'd be willing to take my chances in round 4.

    I don't mind your idea, or stevegamer's idea but it makes me nervous that the top of the draft looks like a goalie frenzy. I think you could consider dropping E. Kane and keeping Josi then using either of those 1st rounders to get your goalie depending on where the best value is. I mean the sharks look terrible and while I know Kane contributes solid peripherals it looks like you're fairly well covered there without him.

    Thanks everyone. The new info about Kane definitely makes next year a bit more unknown. I'll have to wait it out to see what happens with Kane before making any final decisions. If all stays status quo, I'll be taking your advice and not keeping Talbot.
