Keep 2

[Luffy D Monkey]

Expanding my keeper choices, points only. Keep 2 of the following:

M Tkachuk 9.5
Bratt 7.85
Jarvis 7.42
Raymond ??? (guessing 8)

Heiskanen 8.45

Kochetkov 2

All of these cap hits are locked in for at least 3 years.
Goalie cats are W=2pts, shutout is an extra point.
Backups have decent value in our league as we are able to stream 3 or more goalies throughout the season. I wasn't considering Kochetkov too strongly but I like him and 2 mil for the next 3 seasons could be great value.
I am leaning Tkachuk/Heiskanen.

Thanks for your input.

Bratt and Heiskanen would both be decent options along with Tkachuk but I think I’d go with Tkachuk and Kochetkov with that cheap cap hit.

[jshed2]

Who are your other keepers and cap space situation? Ideally I'd want to keep Tkachuk and Bratt based on performance at fair cap hits, but can you afford it? Also if you aren't keeping any goalies Kochetkov becomes much more appealing.

[lusshouse]

Tkachuk & Kotchetkov for me.

Heiskanen is a bit overpaid to my liking, but so are all stud D now so I guess he could be a keeper

[Axeman33]

Ya, it would help if we knew who your other keepers are. I'm keeping Tkachuk for sure but the 2nd would depend on who else you're keeping already.

You have no choice on Tkachuk (I feel) regardless of his cap hit. You don't let go of 100-point players. In a 6D, you'd love to keep at least one D-man so I agree it would help to know your other keepers and the salary you have remaining. D-men in salary leagues (especially points-only ones) are ROUGH. They are usually way overpaid for what they provide. So yeah, maybe I'd lean Kochetkov over anyone else depending on the salary situation.

Thanks for the responses so far. My plans are to keep the following:

Bedard
Fantilli
Lafreniere

Josi
Makar
Morrissey

So I have about 60 mil left to spend.

Considering you're already very strong on D, I wouldn't feel obligated to keep Miro and instead navigate to a forward to bolster your young group. Therefore, I'd go Tkachuk and Jarvis (who I believe is going to be a PPG player).

The only question remaining would be the quality of G left in the draft pool. If the talent is low, I'd be inclined to keep Kochetkov. But considering it's a 10-team league, keep 8, I feel maybe 8-10 goalies will be kept which leaves plenty of decent options.

With 6 Dmen per team, I would keep Heiskanen even though you already have 3 sold D. In this format, Dmen run out really quicky while there are always Forwards to spend on. I would guess not too many G are kept and seeing that Goalies are so volatile year to year, I would not prioritize keeping one. Tkachuk is a must keep.

My personal opinion (and that's why you are here I suppose) is not to keep Lafreniere but I'd be keeping Tkachuk, Jarvis and Bratt.

[Bubba55]

Tkachuk and Bratt for sure. Then it's really close between Laffy and Jarvis. However, I sure like Laffy's cap hit this year and looking a few years down the road it's likely a wash for both on production and CAP hit. I'll keep Laffy.

[RizzeeDizzee]

I'd be wary of Heiskanen. He's still top dog on the PP but Harley cut into his ES scoring quite a bit. And as others said, you'd pretty set on D. So I'm for Tkachuk and Bratt as well.

I agree with this. Chuck is a given. Bratt is too in my opinion, he’s already an 80+ player and the team is only getting better, and he’s a mainstay on the PP.

Between Jarvis and Laf, clearly Laf Has the higher ceiling, but Jarvis is going to explode this year with all the ES and PP1 time on ice he can stomach. That spells 80+ production for the next three years, a period during which I think Laf only gets there in year 2 or possibly year 3 simply because that’s how long it will take for him to displace someone on PP1 (likely Trocheck). Simply put, I can see Jarvis outproduce Laf for the next 3 years and his cap hit is tolerable.
