This is for a points-only keeper league (1 G = 1 pt, 1 A = 1 pt). Here's a few guys I'm debating between:

Kovy, Backstrom, Parise, Neal, Eberle, Seguin

I'm leaning towards Backstrom the most because he has the most potential to have over a point per game, but I'm still not sure his head is okay (even though reports say he's 100% fine). I also don't know about Kovy since he's kinda bitter leaving the KHL and he doesn't have Parise to play with anymore...

In what order would you pick the guys above?? Any advice is much appreciated!

I would take Backstrom. after that I would pick in this order:

Seguin, Eberle, Neal, Parise, Kovy

After hearing all the Kovy wants to stay in russia rumors, i dont think his heart will be here in north america. I think Devils will be bottom feeder team and he will be a 60 point player for many seasons.

Meniac, not that is all that crucial for your first round pick but it might be helpful to us to get a few more specs on your league. How many teams in the league and what are your starting roster positions, overall roster size at the end of the draft and the number of keepers from year to year?

Why are these the guys you are considering? Where are Stamkos, Crosby and Malkin?

Thanks guys. It's nice to finally receive a response in a fantasy forum lol.

Shoeless, it's a small pool (6 teams). This list will be my first round pick after keepers.
