Can you make trades before choosing your keepers?
If so, package Kane with a Goalie for an upgraded Goalie.
If not, I'd keep Rantanen over Kane.
Team in sig... I have to decide between Patty Kane and Rantanen.
MultiCat and age have me thinking Rantanen, but because this is H2H, I worry about keeping Mackinnon, Rantanen and Makar. This season would have worked out because the AVs's schedule was awesome for the FH playoff weeks. Here's what I want to keep:
Mackinnon,
Zibanejad,
Pastrnak,
Kane or Rantanen,
Carlson,
Makar,
Shesterkin or Lehner or Sasmonov or Markstrom
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Once the off-season hits, with limited keepers, trades are scarce. I might be able to move one of these guys for a draft pick... That's my hope... That and some moves this Summer to clear up my goalie sitch (which is clear as mud right now).

Rantanen. I prefer Kane right now but not by enough to justify keeping him over the much younger player.

Since you're forced to keep a goalie, I'd try VERY hard to package one of yours and any of your keepers for an awesome goalie, OR trade away a keeper for a nice pick upgrade.

Who are the awesome goalies? I see Vasi and Helle as the only guys that are a sure thing for volume and quality... Everything else is voodoo. For all I know Georgiev gets moved or they buyout the King and Shesty is the best G next year.

Rantanen for me, but honestly, you can't go wrong with either. If you can package one I a trade, then protect the other - that's the way I would go.

I prefer Rantanen.
Your goalie situation could be far, far worse. That's somewhere between 3-5 guys should be starters somewhere next year, and they all have talent. You might like it it more settled, though. Given what we know, Shesterkin is the keep - as he's ben named the starter on a defensive-oriented team, and has no pending free agency.
Want a Signature? Go to Settings, and you'll find Edit Signature down the list on the left.
I would post both Rantanen & Kane up for a goalie - take the best offer.
Probably result in upgrading your goaltending AND a pick.
Fantasy outlook should never go beyond 3 years. In 22/23 - Kane should still be a 90+pt winger.
He's the better own RIGHT NOW and Next year.

I guess a lot of folks aren't fully on board with Shesterkin yet (which is fair, goalies being voodoo and all). Personally I think you already have a locked in top 3 goalie, and the only guy I'd like to have over Shesterkin is Vasilevskiy. Maybe I'll be eating my words in a year or two, but I am as 110% convinced he will be a total stud as I was with Vasilevskiy 5 years ago. The only other goalie I have felt similar about is Demko (jury is out), and I never felt as strongly about him as I do about Shesty.
Personally I'd keep Shesterkin and try to trade 2 skaters for 1 even better skater if that is possible.
