Final Keeper Spots - Jam Packed Bubble

[tymed]

Need to keep 2 guys from the list below the roster, please note the banger stats and heavy goalie weighting - I'm particularly thin on the banger categories.
I'm leaning more towards competing for money spots but after retooling a bit last season I have some flexibility to finish that job - I acquired Hintz, Forsberg, Bouchard, 2nd for JT, Giroux, Zuccarello, and Bobrovsky going the other way between a couple of different trades so my core is much tighter in age range now.

My bubble list is stocked with intriguing choices since I pulled competition mid-season and filled up the bubble while tanking my way into a top (bottom) 5 lottery and will have the opportunity to draft an additional high end young player.

Dynasty league at 15 years and running (we review and make small category changes every year or two to keep shaking up competition)
Skaters - G, A, PPG, PPA, SOG, PIM, HIT, BLKS
Goalies - W, GAA. SV, SV%, SO
Keep 15, 13 teams

C (3) - Hintz, Dubois
R (3) - Necas, P. Kane, Toffoli
L (3) - Connor, Forsberg, Kempe
F (3) -
D (5) - Hamilton, Bouchard, Dobson
G (2) - Sorokin, Gustavsson

Pick 2 below or feel free to suggest swapping from the 13 above.

Bubble Boys:
Hayton
Reichel
Quinn
Jeannot
Frost

Addison
Klingberg
K. Miller

Quinn and Askarov

im assuming the (..) are the numbers that you can keep at each position? ...if so then you full on Gs

either way i think with those stats i keep Reichel (i think he will be a stud either playing with bedard or not) and i would also keep Kandre Miller

my third choice would be Hayton.

I lean this way too, although your D is all points-heavy (and that's where I tend to look to fill the banger cats). Jeannot is intriguing for those, but they are generally easy to acquire late.

We also have 2 bench slots, each (..) represents a max number of starts you can use through the year for position designation. Yahoo league. I'll almost certainly need to carry at least 3 goalies throughout the year to keep up with volume cats.

I agree with your selections there, I was leaning heaviest towards Reichel and Hayton myself. I have extra 2nd and 4th round picks this year, feel like I might be able to snag a lot of these guys back if inclined at the time, but we have a few rebuilding teams so these young forwards are getting targeted early.

I will need to do as you mention, use a lot of streaming with those 2 open D-slots to hit banger cats. Jeannot would be a great piece to have in an F slot again this season, at least for my team.

Quinn and Askarov

Quinn gets some consideration because I could stash him on IR as soon as the draft is over and use the space as an extra slot to capitalize on all the ill-advised waiver wire drops there are to take advantage of at the start of a season.

I want to keep Askarov but it likely means a full year of a dead bench space. Not impossible but tough to commit to, especially pre-draft. We have no farm spots, but we're discussing adding an NA slot going into this year.

Morgan Frost and K'Andre Miller.

Miller will give you some grit on the blue line with scoring.
I like Reichel here as your other keeper
I'd drop Kane, and add Quinn. I suspect Kane's injury is going to make him relatively easy to redraft, and Quinn gives you flexibility with being IR eligible.

Agree with this. I took a long look at Hayton, but the desert always puts me off.

With your cats I’m keeping a goalie (5 of 13 cats is huge) and a F (12 F v 5 D is heavy F weighting).

But it does depend on what goalies you think might be available in the draft. I might go 2F.

Askarov first, will be best of this lot and with Sorokin give you a killer G duo for years.

At F I’m going to go off the grid and pick Jeannot. With TB now depleted and with what they paid for him, he’s going to get tons of ice time and opportunity and bounce back from a poor season - he can win you Hits by himself and you have lots of PPP guys otherwise.

But PPPs are critical in your league, so wouldn’t be adverse to picking Quinn or Reichel (esp without plus minus).

As others posted you might also consider dropping Kane and if so I might be adding Miller - to me he’s the only option among your D.

Just saw your earlier post about difficulty of keeping Askarov due to dead space - if so and you need a 3rd goalie anyway, I might go Schmid. He can easily steal the starter gig in NJ.
