I'm hoping to get some rankings from you all to help me narrow down who to keep. Think 3 year window, but if someone is a longer term keeper feel free to point that out. Before the season started I thought the 3 would likely be Schenn, Tarasenko and Granlund, but Conacher has burst out of the gate, Brunner has impressed, and as a Senators fan Zibanejad has a chance to crack the top 3 because I do have a bit of a homer bias. Here are my options:

Tarasenko RW
Granlund C
Schenn, Brayden C/LW
Conacher LW/C
Brunner RW/C
Atkinson RW
Schneider G

I'm anticipating many of you will rank Schneider highly, but keep in mind that in a 10 team league that starts only 1 goalie and counts only wins and SO, good goalies are always available.

I know there have been other threads about Tank, Granlund and Conacher, but nothing that compares them to Schenn.

Thanks in advance everyone. Answers that include good reasoning will be repped.
