Mantha, Kakko Coututier would be my picks from that list. But what about Teravainen?
Our trade Deadline is fast approaching and need to identify my keepers for next year as I look at options.
Keep 8 - no restructions or limits:
Sure Fire Keepers:
MacKinnon
Rantanen
Dahlin
Makar
Hellebuyck
I need to pick 3 from:
Kakko
Mantha
Meier
Pionk
Coutourier
Grubauer
Samsonov
Which 3 would you select?

Have not considered Tervainen but you are right he could enter the Mix. Also Suzuki if he continues his hot trend this year. No love for Samsonov - even if he is the starting goalie in Wash next year?

I was trying to decided between the two of them.
I dont think you could go wrong with any one of Kakko, Meier, or Tervainen.
Suzuki is a little bit of a wild card (then again so is Kakko) but would like to see him take another step next year before he would be a keeper for me.
Samsonov isnt 100% going to be the starter, he has played 25ish games in the NHL. I would like to see more from him, and I dont like keeping goalies. Goalies are hard to predict year to year

I narrowed it down to: Couturier, Mantha, Meier, Pionk, & Provorov (not originally under consideration by you). Not looking at a second goalie.
I think Pionk could see his role diminshed in the offseason, but you may not get a ton for him. Provorov may be under the radar in your league, so he may have little value as well.
I would definitely NOT keep Kakko. He's trade bait for improved draft picks or keepers.

I like Couturier, Mantha and Meier. For me these are the guys with the least amount of uncertainty surrounding them. Most of the others I consider a bit more risky. I would think these others will be more readily available for draft than the three keepers I've identified.
