Keep 5

[saucelife90]

Just took over a bottom end team (League/team in sig - it's ugly.) in a Keep 5 league, and need to submit my list tomorrow night.

With FOW getting points, and no minus for a FOL, C's who shoot a ton are heavily at the top of the scoring list.

I usually avoid keeping C's due to it being the deepest position, but I feel like I have to keep 2 just because of how bad the players are at my other positions...

Outside of Ovi who's my only for sure lock, I've listed players who I'm considering in order based off PPG from last seasons stats.

Malkin (3.75)
Kopitar (3.7)
Pacioretty (3.33)
Johansen (3.29)
Hartman (3.26)
Rust (2.8)
DeAngelo (2.7)
Faulk (2.6)
Mangiapane (2.36)
Karlsson (2.1)

Kopitar, DeAngelo, Rust, Hartman, Ovi

I was debating Rust over Malkin simply because of durability, but Malkin is just so much better when he's playing lol... tough call.

Malkin is probably the best player on that list if he is not injured. The problem with him as we all know is he is injured so much. He doesn't do much good when he is not on the ice.

If you can slot Malkin on IR when he's injured, keep him.

Otherwise, Kopitar, Rust, Mangiapane and Hartman for me.

2 IR spots, which is why I'm still considering him. If there wasn't he'd be closer to the bottom of my list...

You're right, a player's most important attribute is availability.
