Fantasy Keeper league advice

[BowDangles]

I am in a keeper league that only allows me to keep 7 players where I can only keep 1 goalie.
The format is 2 of every forward position, 4 D, 2G and 4 on the bench
Who should I keep? Here is my team:

C - Ryan Johanson
C- Sean Monahan
C - Sean Couturier
C/W - Sam Reinhart
C/W - Nick Bjugstad
LW - Alex Ovechkin
LW - Matt Tkachuk
LW/RW - James Neal
LW/RW - Josh Bailey
RW - Patrick Laine

D - Drew Doughty
D - Shayne Gostisbehere
D - Torey Krug
D - Mark Giordano

G - Pekka Rinne
G - Roberto Luongo


My initial thought is to keep: Monahan, Ovi, Tkachuk, Laine, Doughty, Ghost and Rinne...

I'm trying like hell to package Couturier + Bailey for a top centre but am not getting any takers....

Some more details are necessary here: stat categories, and is it a cap league?

Do you really think Johansen is going to have a bounce back year?
He really struggled last year.. Centres are very high point producers in fantasy so he would have to get back to 65pt+ to make it worth it.
He was my third best centre last year behind Mona + Couts

Hes still really young. He will for sure bounce back.. look at his playoffs

I think that these guys hold the most value trade wise etc

Since penalty minutes don’t count, I’d go with Couturier over Tkachuk.

Id also take Couturier over Tkachuk. I'd take all the other players you have selected.

In my yahoo league it’s easy to trade for playmakers like Johnson. So I don’t keep those guys if it is going to cost me a pick that I think I can get a better player for. Usually I keep a guy or two because I think they offer a lot of value for the pick it costs to keep them. Someone like Gourde is a good example.

Neal might be an underrated pick here, should see lots of minutes with JH.
