Need 8 keepers, points league

Points league, G=3 A=2 PIMs=1 PPG=5 PPA=3 Faceoffs=0.25, Wins=10 Shutouts=10, Saves=0.25

Elite goalies are worth more than elite players in this format. MAX of 2 goalies can be kept. Positional requirements so not differentiate RW/LW (C/W/D/G). Who do you keep?

C: Sakic, Marleau, Langkow, Kopitar, Jokinen, Comrie
W: Carcillo, Hossa, Gagne, Kovalev, Stillman, Sturm, Sykora
D: Gonchar, Kaberle, Bouwmeester, Zubov, Whitney
G: Luongo, Bryzgalov, Miller, Ward, Kolzig

Who do you keep?

My choices would be:

C - Kopitar and Jokinen (pretty clear cut here)
W - Hossa and Kovalev (choose Kovalev over Gagne because of Gagne's injury situation)
D - Gonchar and Bouwmeester (choose Bouwmeester over Whitney because of Whitney's injury and the presence of Letang and Goligoski)
G - Luongo and Bryzgalov (over Miller only because I think Phx will be better than Buffalo and wins count alot in your points system).

Good luck...

Kopitar and Jokinen

W - Hossa and Kovalev - very careful consideration to Sykora. Pittsburgh's more dependent than ever. Kovalev's pretty streaky. I suspect Kovalev's goals swing the puzzle very nicely in his direction based on last years stats.

D - Gonchar and Kaberle. Kaberle's got to shoot more with Sundin gone. At the moment he still has McCabe. He's a proven 50+ point guy and will get great prominence. Funny how we don't even consider Zubov. That too might be damn foolish. Bouwmeester, well he's still in Florida. If I picked him it would be because I want to see what happens later this year.

G - Luongo and Bryzgalov - Buffalo should turn in similar results. Ward should turn in similar results. I'd compare points from last year with the three and probably take whoever was the leader. Only Phoenix appears to be on the rise. They haven't risen yet. Carolina has maintained our edged ahead. Pro-rate each of the tenders for 60 games and see what the results look like. Bryz' could spike yet, but then again... he could pull a Ward/Miller! They looked apparent to become elite just two years ago!

You've got some tough choices. With the roster you've assembled, you're nobodys fool. Trust those instincts, they've served you very very well.

Agree with JHM's picks, except I would take Miller
over Bryzgalov - Just a gut feeling more than anything.

Cheers.
