Keeper Advice
Need some keeper advice for the league in my sig. Keepers slot in on the upcoming draft order relative to their draft position from the year prior (the number in bracket after each players' name). FA and players acquired via trade are automatically the last available pick of the draft (so pretty much 20th).
Because this is a shallow league where 160 players are drafted and only 40 are kept, I tend to prioritize elite high scoring wingers (particularly RW) and defenseman with scoring upside and solid category coverage.
I plan on being in contention this season (only 8 teams, so I think all managers intend to compete). I pick 7th out of 8 teams but I traded away a ton of decent draft capital the year prior. If I keep Kuch/Rants/Stammer I've only got 3 picks in the first 10 rounds.
With that said, I do intend on keeping the above 3. I just don't think I can justify not keeping elite scoring wingers (Stammer with FW) in a league this shallow. I am likely going with Meier and McAvoy as my other 2, but there can be a case made for Larkin, Trocheck, Morrissey & Ullmark based on their huge value relative to draft position.
Any advice would be appreciated!
