  • Who 2 Keep

    12 Team H2H Points League, I get to keep 5 skaters and 1 goalie
    BUT, 2 of the skaters must be different from those I chose last year (Ovi/Parise/Kane/Pominville/RNH)
    So, my team is as follows with 'Name(Avg PtsPerGame)'

    C: Kopitar(2.7) - RNH(1.9) - Kesler(3.0)
    LW: Parise(2.9) - Morrow(1.5) - Jokinen(1.5)
    RW: Kane(3.4) - Yakupov(1.9) - Ovi(4.4)
    D: Campbell(2.1) - Markov(2.7) - Beauchemin(1.4) - Hillen(1.4)
    G: Fleury(5.0) - Backstrom(4.8) - Bachman(2.8) - Mason(2.2)

    Notable Free Agents-- Backes(1.3) - Lucic(1.9) - Carlson(1.4) - Heatley(1.9) - Hedman(1.0) - Saad(1.7) - Tarasenko(1.9) - O'Reilly(2.0)...

    So, basically I just want to run my keeper choices by you guys-- I'm thinking of going with:
    Ovechkin-Kane-Parise-Kopitar-Markov-Fleury

    I know that RNH and Yakupov are almost must-keep in a keeper league, but considering the strength of my team (and the fact that keeping RNH would force me to drop one of Ovi/Kane/Parise) I think it's safe to pass them up at this point. If anyone sees a terrible and idiotic flaw in my rationale please let me know.

    I'm open to any and all suggestions; whatever ideas/insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance guys, and let me know if you have a post that you want me to look into.

    I would definitely go with Toews C, Giroux RW, Landeskog LW, Karlsson D, Reimer G, and Kesler C-- Like you said, Toews and Giroux are no-brainers... Landeskog is by far the best keeper option at LW and Karlsson... again, duh-- As far as goalies, even though Luongo could end up elsewhere I think this whole thing has gotten to him, his play hasn't' been as good and he's still a playoff choke artist (not that that matters) so he's only going to decline-- Reimer and Toronto, however, are looking better every day (if you can believe it lol)-- I like Kesler because he can put up points AND provides that offensive presence along with solid faceoffs/hits/blocks (i think) though if you want a more injury-resistant guy there Richards is probably the way to go (plus having a LW that gets faceoffs could make a huge difference)... I'm still recovering from lockout ignorance so please excuse any blatant idiocy you find within my post :)

    think that was bad...
    Quick gave up a shutout with 4 seconds left then lost in OT in the beginning of the year. It can happen to the best of them. That's why teams pull goalies at the end of a game, so they can put 6 attackers on and hopefully pull something out. I've seen goals scored with 1/2 a second left already. If it couldn't happen teams would just stop playing at the end and just let time run out.
    Shutouts are kind of a fluke or the great ones wouldn't take 20 years to get 105+ like Brodeur (the record -and I didn't look up the exact number -but that averages to only 5 or so a year by the best with playing 60 or so games a year)

    So for next year, each manager is allowed to keep one player in each specified position, and one extra utility of their liking. I have a few to choose, and while some are obvious, others could be tricky. Just about all stats are counted in this weekly, deep H2H setting, including hits, blocks, faceoff wins, game winning goals, all the others...

    Toews, Giroux, Landeskog, Skinner, Gagner, Cammalleri Karlsson, Kronwall, Goligoski, Muzzin, Spurgeon, O'Reilly, Richards, Kesler, Zibanejad, Luongo, Reimer

    Obviously, Toews and Grioux should be there without saying, taking a Centre (and possibly a 2nd, or RW.) For Left Wingers, Landeskog is the only true, growing keeper option. Richards or Cammy could provide a more aggressive presence, though. For Defenceman, Karlsson is a lock, but this is where I thought of using the utility option on Kronwall or Muzzin. Always good having solid D-men stashed for the following season. For goalies, it's tough- Bobby Lu will most likely see another team, while Reimer has just as much potential to be a solidified number one.

    I don't quite see Skinner as a true keeper yet, but I also typed Kesler, O' Reilly, and Zibanejad here, because they all have potential for all categories, or already do, such as Kesler's abilities.

    Any thoughts?

    Grab either one depending on RW/LW roster needs and drop Neal. When do concussion players come back in only one week or less??? Not often and it is playoffs so it could cost you to wait.
