First off he hasn't been signed yet. Is there any chance that he plays anywhere but Dallas this year?

And secondly, I'm very high on him. But we only have 4 guys to protect from last year's roster. I think, nay, hoping he has a breakout year. But am I being too optimistic?

Right now I am protecting Spezza, Pietrangelo, Benn and then I'm not sure. My options are Gaborik, Semin, Price and Bryz.

Is Benn the right play here as my third option? This is a keeper league and I think he will be an 80 point guy going forward.

Our league is head to head with G and A worth 1 point each. That's it.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

benn will sign in dallas soon. and of the players listed, he is your best keeper forward...

He'll sign with the Dallas Stars.

I'd definitely keep him over Gabby and Semin. Not even close. The final keeper for me would be Price.

Yes, Price seems like a good play....but Bryz will play for a better team

I like the idea of keeping Benn over Gaborik or Semin as he is far more durable.

As for goalies, it depends on your cats. If you count peripherals such as SV% and GAA I would go with Price. If it's strictly wins and shut-outs, Bryz by a mile.

Bryz will still get worse stats. Price is much better goalie.

Your keepers should be based on roster allocation (which we don't know) and number of teams in your league (which we don't know).

On a hunch though, I probably would keep:
*Spezza, Benn, Gaborik, Bryz (assuming its W=2, SO=3)

its been a bit since ive paid a ton of attention to fantasy hockey, but i can offer you the knowledge that having Jagr on my Flyers last year did a lot for our young players, at least in terms of work ethic but most likely insight as well. benn should resign in Dallas, and I'm really high on him going forward.

I would keep Spezza, Pietrangelo, Benn and Price (depending on what goalies are worth in your league.)
I would also see Gaborik over Pietrangelo, again depending on your league info.

All that counts in our league is wins and SO's. Bryz should be better than Price.
