    Default Upgrading keepers, make this move?

    I'm looking to upgrade my keepers and offered the following:

    I give: Backstrom (WAS), Brunner, Pacioretty & Wideman

    I get: E. Kane & Karlsson

    We keep 10 players per season (1 goalie max), so I'm trying to shore up my keeper list and make it as explosive as possible. My curren roster:

    C - Backstrom, Stamkos, Steen, Brunner
    LW - Hall, Ryan, Pacioretty, Boedker
    RW - Heatley, Selanne, Stewart, Mike Brown, Okposo
    D - Goligoski, Wideman, Fowler, Pitkanen (IR), Meszaros (IR), Gilbert, Tyutin, Ellerby
    G - Markstrom, Lehner, Hiller, Garon
    15-team keeper (keep 10) - G,A,+/-,PPP, Hits, Blocked Shots, W, SV%, Saves

    Forwards - Kunin, Trenin, Eichel, Bjorkstrand, Boldy, Pastrnak, Boeser, Caufield, Laine, Crosby, Newhook, Konecny, Farabee, Rossi (NA)
    Defenseman - Brodin, Hamilton, Zadorov, Severson, Forsling, Braun, Roy
    Goalies - Sorokin, Hill, Varlamov, Daws

    If I were you I wouldn't bother with a deal like and I'd actively try to acquire a G. I like Markstrom and Lehner but I feel that if you had a legit starting G you'd have a competitive team. I like the idea of acquiring Karlson so if you can make that happen he'd obviously be a gem keeper. I also like E. Kane so this deal is fine if you can make it happen...after it though you really should get good starting G.

    Forwards : Ovechkin ($43), Kessel ($20), Benn ($7), Spezza ($13), Brown ($7), Marchand ($13), Landeskog ($3), Elias ($1), Plekanec ($1),

    I agree that my goalie situation is downright awful. I kept Hiller last year expecting a solid season from him. I also drafted Brian Elliott expecting another timeshare so I figured I'd be poised to make a championship run. Well, the Fasth train blindsided me and Elliott couldn't stop a beach ball so I ended up just dropping him for some potential future keepers.

    The biggest problem in this league is that the goalies are all on the good/competing teams so getting a great goalie is very hard. The people in contention don't want to trade them until they know they're out of the race for sure.

    I'm going to be eyeing one after the season for sure. I can probably use a 2nd round draft pick in next year's draft (typically a pretty valuable pick with good keeper potential out there) for a goalie upgrade.
