The only thing I am hesistant about is with Benn and his value in multi-cat and his possible upside 2-3 years from now. Also giving up the first round pick, but that's the cost. Does Benn's youth and upside outweigh Ovechkin's possible decline?

Is this a no-brainer? My keepers would be Malkin, Backstrom, OV, Karlsson, Rinne. Not too shabby.

Appreciate any replies

Looking back at your signature, it's a keep 5 with 12 teams, so a 1st round pick would be 61-72 and 4th round pick would be 97-108 correct? How much difference would you expect there be talent-wise between those picks? If not too much, then I'd be tempted to counter by taking out the D and just doing Benn+1st for Ovechkin+4th. Yandle in a league with blocks is not as valuable.
