I would probably choose Pionk and Jones for d-men.
And Zegras and Robertson for rookies...assuming this is Jason Robertson. If it's Nick Robertson, then I would switch my pick to Norris. ...unless you really feel you need a goalie.
Guys, i need some help with my final keeper decisions for the league in my signature.
My three forwards and my goalie are locked: Matthews, Crosby, Guentzel, and Price
I have to choose 2 Dmen: Chychrun, Pionk, Seth Jones, Risto. Leaning towards Chychrun and Pionk
Last but not least I can keep 2 rookies, here I'm having a really hard time deciding who I should pick. Here are the candidates:
Francouz
Elvis
Robertson
Zegras
Norris
Hoglander

Def - Q. Hughes, Josi, Theodore, Morrissey, Dunn, Letang, Burns, Matheson, York, Thrun
Goalies - Shesterkin, Jarry
Farm - Benson, Hutson, Nikishin
D: Pionk, S.Jones (you don't need Chychrun's MINUS pulling your team down... and ARI will struggle to score with their shit lineup)
r: Zegras (for SURE, not debatable)... and Norris (above either Robertson, for me... though it's close: Norris vs. J.Robertson vs. Hoglander is debatable. I'm not a Hoglander fan... I know many area. And I think Jason Robertson won't repeat his year as Dallas is now 4-line-loaded for TOI distribution and JRob might not be PP1 with Seguin back and possibly Radulov healthy. Norris, IMO, better lock for top-line ice-time).
You're probably right about Chychrun, so Pionk and Jones are my frontrunners.
And I just realized that Francouz is also a rookie. Could he be my second rookie besides Zegras? How many starts do you see him get? I like Elvis, but CBJ, yeah not so much...

I agree re not keeping Chychrun due to the Arizona tire-fire - leaving Pionk and Jones as D keepers.
For the rookies I'd be keeping Elvis and Francouz. I'm not sold on Price being all that useful next year, so more than anything else you need G help. Francouz is a question mark, but Kuemper's got some injury history. Francouz could provide sneaky value this year. Elvis is a good goalie, and with his new contract should get the lion's share of the starts. Will they be good starts? Nobody knows with all the upheaval in CLB, but I think it's a decent gamble. Plus it's a roto league. Drafting one more G late and trying to pick your starts to some extent might give you enough value at G to make a run.
Sure Zegras has the most upside - but it's basically a one year league. No way Zegras supplants one of Crosby, Matthews, or Guentzel as the OP's veteran F keepers going forward.
