it's keep two and the two players you keep have to have been drafted during the current year. neuvy wasn't drafted and neither was letang. you also lose the draft pick in next year's draft, in which your keeper was drafted the previous year. (i know, strange rules)
I really like the first trade too - if you only start one goalie then I think you would have been better without the second trade. Understand the need for a more reliable second goalie if you start two, but if you start one G then Neuv plus Vokoun should have been fine - keep in mind Vokoun will likely be on a better team come trade deadline.
