but in this league

6 Team Yahoo HTH League
G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, GWG
W, GAA, SV, SV%
3 C, 3 LW, 3 RW, 3 F, 6 D, 2 G, 5 Bench
Keep 10 - 6 F, 3 D, 1 G

trades are much easier to pull off in season than post season as there is so much talent that no one tends to want to add extra headaches to their already tough keeper decisions after the season has ended

but in the middle of the season while chasing wins teams tend to figure they will worry about resolving keepers later if they think the trade helps them now and if it helps them both even better

so after all of that preamble here are my forwards

Stamkos, Steven C
Crosby, Sidney C
Giroux, Claude C,RW
Tavares, John C
Seguin, Tyler C,RW
Pavelski, Joe C,RW
Iginla, Jarome RW
Hall, Taylor LW
Benn, Jamie C,LW
Moulson, Matt LW
Vanek, Thomas LW
Duchene, Matt C,LW
Simmonds, Wayne RW
Yakupov, Nail RW
Tarasenko, Vladimir RW
Conacher, Cory C,LW

now my keepers last season were Stamkos, Crosby, Tavares, Giroux, Seguin, and Hall

very center heavy and if they ever fix Giroux even more center heavy

now yes i obviously can roster them given the starting lineup breakdown and just grab wings in the draft but of course the top wings are kept so it is tough to end up with top end wings unless you get a freak occurrence like Vanek this season

obviously Stamkos, Crosby, Tavares, and Hall go nowhere so my question is should i try to get guys like Ovechkin, Kanes, Perry, Eberle to round out my forward keepers if so which ones

Personally I think your "go nowhere" keepers should be Stamkos, Crosby, Tavares, Giroux. Then you have Seguin, Benn, Hall contending for the last 2 spots. I would rather keep Benn and Seguin and try to work out trades by offering up Hall + Yakupov for example...

thanks for the input but i know who my keepers are if i dont make any moves i was asking about if i should try to balance my keepers by pursuing the players listed

also if i keep benn and seguin along with stamkos crosby tavares and giroux thats 6 offering hall and yak for anything doesnt do anything for my keepers really

i appreciate your response but i was really asking a different question

I would certainly suggest balancing your keepers. If you can package a center or two for equal or greater players on the wing or in net then you should. Are goalies not as valuable in your league? I noticed you didn't list or state anything about them, because my first suggestion would be to target either AO/Perry or a goalie like Lundqvist/Quick/Price.

i already have lundqvist as my single goalie keeper

and i have karlsson, AP, and subban as my 3 defensemen keepers

AO/Perry yeah those were guys i had listed as potential targets i was thinking of pursuing

besides giroux i also have vanek who i can sell plenty high on as well so i have the guns to get it done

i just wanted to make sure i wasnt crazy with trying to balance things out as opposed to keeping just the best

i also wanted to see who others thought i should target

like i said ovechkin, perry, kanes, and eberle are all guys i think are worthy looks just trying to get a consensus on which two i should try to get

so i can put you down for AO and Perry thanks

Yeah, as far as strictly forwards and non-centers I'd say guys to target would be:

AO
Perry
P Kane
Parise
Neal
Kovalchuck
D Sedin

I'd be looking to move Seguin or Giroux, although Giroux I would only want the best from this list for.

its funny before the two game blow up i was right about to offer Giroux for AO and then started second guessing myself again

i am real down on AO but in this type of league i can afford to take a shot as it will be real easy for me to recover from

i might try Vanek for AO though and then Giroux for either Perry or Kane

that way if AO doesnt work out i dont feel as bad if i gave Vanek instead of Giroux to get him

Yes I believe your team would benefit from moving a keeper C to wing, only problem is that your keeper C are so darn good. With those cats I would put Neal pretty high up on that list aswell. But Giroux seems like a steep price to pay for him.
