Recently acquired Tavares and Hossa in a deal. Now,as you can see, my D is definitely my weakest link. I've been dangling Hossa or Hall as trade bait to land a top D however no one has bitten yet. Kassian is the obvious choice to drop and pick up a FA D-man (Brendan Smith? Hedman?), however I can probably snag Bieksa from another owner in exchange for Jeff Carter. He may also be interested in a goalie, but I feel rolling these 4 goalies will virtually guarantee wins in all goalie categories each week.

What should I do? I love Jeff Carter's dual position eligibility which is why I'm hesitant.

I would drop Kassian and pick up Brendan Smith.

Keep Carter.

I don't think Bieksa is much of an upgrade on Smith and you keep Carter

forget about trading for your defense guys like mark stuart brooks orpik and fancois beauchemin are all likely available in your league

stuart gets you nice hits blks pims

orpik hits blks

beauchemin hits blks and almost 25 points plus over 100 shots and marginal ppp as well

you have seabrook already and he is a monster for these cats

use your other dmen to upgrade your fowards and grab one or more of these defensemen

I like Fowler or Smith as good pickups for dropping Kassian, both would help your D corps which I think is actually not that bad

The dual eligibility of Carter, Semin, Richards and Clowe help alot and I would not fool with that
