    Default One-Year Keeper Help

    My League has some unique "keeper" rules. You can only keep a player for 2 years maximum and to keep a player you surrender a draft pick 2 rounds better then where he was drafted.

    The net result is top-24 picks cannot be kept and the true value is drafting a guy super late before a breakout.

    That being said I have 3 solid options:
    Kuemper, Petry, and Toffoli

    Kuemper costs a 7th round pick (Larkin, Debrincat, Kaprizov were 7 rounders)
    Petry costs an 11th round pick (B. Nelson, Vrana, Nurse)
    And Toffoli costs a 15th round pick (really nobody of note drafted 85% of 15 rounds on are waiver wire cycled).

    i think Petry is posted for a HUGE year given Weber is out for the season. Kuemper I am cautiously optimistic about, I like having 1 goalie locked in, but I think I then need to draft Francouz and my other goalie needs to be a workhorse.
    Toffoli I am not expecting to repeat but even 30 goals for a 15th round pick is a super steal.

    Thoughts??

    EDIT: I can keep 2 players total. When the draft starts I will have 2 keepers and 18 players to draft. None of the other guys listed in my team signature are worth consideration because either they were drafted so high their keeper value is low. (McDavid, Vasi, Wheeler and Connor are completely ineligible. Evander Kane would cost a 2nd so no value there)

    Not sure I understand, you have to pick only one keeper out of those 3?

    If so, it’s clearly between Petry and Kuemper in my books, and given you have Vasilevsky and are thin at D, I’d go Petry.

    I think he can't keep Vasilevskiy, since he was almost certainly drafted in the first 2 rounds.

    If you can only keep 1, I'm taking Petry.

    Added an edit. I can keep 2. The 3 guys listed are the biggest value given the rules. Cannot keep McDavid or Vasi as examples. Will not keep Evander Kane as the cost is a 2nd and he will be drafted 3rd or later.

    Petry/Toffoli then. Toffoli could be good for you for 2 years, honestly.

    I think Petry and Kuemper - Toffoli could be solid again and best value, but Kuemper could have a huge year.

    Kuemper(7), Petry(11) for me.
    Yes, those guys seem locked in for possible massive years, which is exactly why you keep them over where you drafted them last year.

    From experience, guys in the round 12-18 range of drafts are pretty interchangeable.
    So - Toffoli may have decent value, but the upside in Kuemper with COL and Petry as sole PP1-option for MON... are too upside-y too pass on.
    My 2 cents.

    Any idea what goalies will be available in the draft yet? I don’t like, given the round 7 names you tossed out, keeping Kuemper and losing that pick depending on your goalie options in the draft. Toffoli for a 15th rounder might make a lot more sense. Agree Petry is a solid keep.
