Anders Lee for me.
If not, I'd take a chance on Maroon.
Hey guys, I am up next to pick in my keeper (see sig. at bottom) and I love to turn to this community when I have second thoughts about a particular selection.
I've narrowed down the list of guys I can potentially select down to 6. Without considering positions or needs on my team, I just want to best overall player here:
1) Patrick Maroon
2) Linden Vey
3) Anders Lee
4) Steve Downie
5) Radko Gudas (keep in mind, no hits in my league)
6) Andrew MacDonald
Any advice is always appreciated!
Thanks

I'd say Patrick Maroon but I love Linden Vey in Vancouver as well. I think he's ready to show what he can do in the NHL. Great landing spot for him too. Maroon is probably the safer from that group though so he would be my first choice.

Man, I have a soft spot for Downie and your league counts penalty minutes and he's going to play on the Pens, so you KNOW he's going to get a quality C to play with. The guy has some seriously underrated puck skills and could (I stress could) put up some big numbers, mostly penalty minutes, but if he can scam on to the 2nd PP unit, he can show some of his offensive abilities.
After Downie, I would lean heavily towards Lee.

Lee has a shot of playing next to Tavares.
Lee for me.

I'd go Lee, he seems to be in the best situation on a great up and coming team. Maroon is a solid second choice, but I'd lean towards Lee

Oh boy... This is close
4x Anders Lee
3x Patrick Maroon
2x Steve Downie
I am torn between Lee and Maroon myself. Downie was interesting but I did not peg him in the top 6 so his value fell IMO. If I knew he was in the Pens' top 6 plans, it changes everything; he becomes my guy. Lee is intriguing just because he played incredibly well in his short tenure last year. Same for Maroon... Oh boy...
Any other opinions? PS: thanks to those that wrote in already, REP on the way!

To me it is primarily between the top two though whoever actually gets sustained 1st line ice time is a gamble.
