Crowdsource my Fantasy Keepers

[KiwiGriff]

Hey,

Admins can move/delete this if I’m not supposed to do it. I am in a Keeper Fantasy league and I thought, like the prospect voting, it would be interesting to get all of your perspectives on who I should keep in my team this year.

Everyone currently in my roster is an option for voting, you can pick any ten (I also have Savoie in an additional “Not active” slot).

Categories include PIMs, hits, blocks, FOWs and otherwise the usual sort of spread

[Zman5778]

Keep: Matthews, Larkin, Connor, Fox, Hughes, Samsonov, Sorokin

Debateable: Wilson, Barrie, Toffoli, Toews, Mangiapane

If you HAVE to keep 10, I'd probably lean towards Wilson, Barrie and Toffoli as the other 3.

Interesting. No Evander Kane. He’s been a Fantasy golden child for me.
I do not have to keep all 10. All players that are not marked as keepers go back into a new draft, along with all the new 2023 NHL draft kids. So in theory I could get first stab at Bedard by not keeping all 10.
I suspect others might be thinking the same though and I finished 2nd last year so I’d be at the end of the round.

Taking that approach, the question would be whether someone like Wilson is better than a Fantilli or even a Benson.

I just don't trust Kane to behave -- always seems like he's a hair away from his career being over due to injury and/or off-ice issues.

As far as your 2nd question -- personally, I'd rather a shot at a guy like Fantilli than Wilson.

I like the idea.
My initial thoughts were the seven you listed, plus Trocheck (FOWs, hits and PIMs are quite high) and Gudas (second in the league for hits). Then I wasn’t sure.

Also I wanted the results to show as people voted. What’d I do wrong?

Looks good to me? Not sure what else you wanted?

Oh cool. Maybe it’s because i haven’t voted.

I went with:

Matthews
Larkin
Connor
Wilson
Toews
Fox
L Hughes
Sorokin
Knight


Dealer's choice on a 10th option, or not. There's a lot of mid six / bottom four talent on your roster and I don't know that any one of them is going to have a better season than any other. You'd have to weigh league options and settings.

What’s your thinking on Knight over Samsonov?

I’ve been holding Knight for a couple of years, hoping I was onto a future winner. I thought this might be the year I cut the cord there.

I'm a Sabres fan. I choose violence when it comes to Toronto players.

Except Matthews obv...you can't not keep him.

This is acceptable reasoning to me.
