For the team in sig who would you drop to pick up a 5th D to balance out my team. Both started on fire but have since done nothing in the last 10 days or so. At a $1 value both could be considered keepers for next year but they'd have to have a a really good season to beat lit other potential keepers. The obvious drop is Franzen or Koivu but I like their consistency.

If this is a keeper,I drop neither player. They are too talented and are surrounded by talents on contending teams. I'd rather bite the bullet now on an older player. It wouldn't surprise me to see Conacher or Tarasenko to be more productive than some of your vets by the end of this season or, at the latest, the end of next season.

There is no way I would drop Tarasenko or Koivu. I'd also not really love the idea of dropping Conacher or Franzen even though you do have a glut of forwards. But given that you play only 4 D-men (and yours are all quite good), I'd stand pat and then try to work a deal for an extra D-man in exchange for one of your extra forwards if injuries strike.

P.s. If Letang's status is what's prompting this, I'd also explore the trade route. The guys you're thinking of dropping are too good to release 'em for a depth defenseman in my opinion.

Being that this league is only 10 teams and our bench is only 5 guys there are a ton of guys on the wire I can pick up. Some comparable guys to Tarasenko and Conacher would be Schenn and Brunner.

The trade avenue is moot at this point as players salaries really impact player values and this is our first year doing a salary cap keeper league so guys are nervous to make "mistakes".

I'm thinking I'm going to drop Koivu simply because he doesn't get G, SOG, or hit and there really good options on the wire.

I'd hate to drop one of those rookies and then see them explode again. If the continue to run dry production I can move them later

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I can't see losing those talents at $1. I have to admit, though, Schenn does intrigues me with your cats.

Same I do like Schenn with these cats and he's a good value at $2. I'll keep my eye on him and my two rookies and of he studs out better than one of them I'll snap him up

Fresh off of a 3 point game, too. Maybe he'll break out. I can't lie, at $2, I'd probably dump Koivu for him.

I wouldn't lose any of M. Koivu, Conacher, or Tarasenko for B. Schenn.

I dropped Koivu and picked up Burns as I needed to balance out my team. But ill keep tabs on Schenn

Thanks guys
