Firstly, for future postings don't list your team like that.
C: Staal, Hanzal, Stepan
LW: Benn, Landeskog, etc....
will suffice, it is much easier to read and the people on this board are knowledgeable enough to not need the team names.
Next, I don't think your team is as bad as some have made it sound to be. Yes you have to hang onto your upside players.. those are Benn, Landeskog, Skinner, Wheeler, Yakupov, Tarasenko. You have a great young D-core, Doughty, Subban, OEL, Carlson.. then in net I wouldn't panic yet, see how Varlamov and Dubnyk pan out. Varly has the talent, he just needs to strengthen himself from injury. Dubnyk has to prove he can carry the load, but if he succeeds he is the starter for what could be an explosive young team.
These guys you should not treat lightly as they could surprise and force their way into a keeper slot: Staal, Stepan, Atkinson, Crawford, Bernier (if he gets traded)
So these would be my 12 keepers
6F: Benn, Landeskog, Skinner, Wheeler, Yakupov, Tarasenko
4D: Doughty, Subban, OEL, Carlson
2G: Varlamov, Dubnyk
I would then spend this year concentrating on improving those 12 keepers, everything else on your team is expendable if you can find a significant addition to your keeper slots. Also if someone will give you say.. Tavares for Tarasenko/Landeskog, I'd do a deal like that. You lose a keeper but then you can move a Staal or Atkinson onto the list. In a 12 team keep 12, you should be able to keep 2-3 forwards able to hit 80 points now. The other 3 should have the talent to get there, or at least be 60+ point players. Your D should be 1st PPQBs, and of the ones you have only Carlson's PP time is in question.
I know you said you wanted to be in the money, but rebuilding and winning are usually in conflict, which means if you try to do both you will just fail miserably all around.
Hope that helps.
