So you have this keeper league you're in, where you can keep 5 or 6 F depending on the D and G you keep. Head-to-head league, the usual G, A, PPP, +/-, as well as hits and blocks. If you keep two of the following 3, assuming the offensive cats are most important to you, which two and why?

Tarasenko
(Roster now loaded with good C, including Schwartz and Lehtera who he has proven chemistry with both, and new guy Stastny. Has shown he can be defensively responsible so not likely to be relegated to the 3rd line anymore, and arguably the most skilled scoring winger on the team.)

Hertl
(Knee reported as fully healthy, appears a lock to play on a top line with Thornton. Only thing that's uncertain is PP time and how the knee will hold.)

Johansen
(On verge of becoming a holdout, but supposedly centering a line with Hartnell and Horton, if those guys stay healthy and a deal gets done he could improve on last year's good numbers, and unlike the other two he might venture into 2 hits / game territory. Definitely will get big PP time.)

Wild card: Bergeron

I keep Tarasenko and Johansen.

Tarasenko lock top 6, play a President worthy team.

Johansen massive potential could be a 35-35 guy.

Hertl is a big ? and Bergy had one of the best years he's likely to have this past season.

Good points. Tend to agree that Bergy had something close to a career year last year but I could see him hitting 30/30 again a couple times in his career.
