Next year and beyond: Schwartz or Eriksson +?
Thinking to next year, although my team is definitely still in it this year. I have one more keeper than I have room for, as I had to call Schwartz up from my farm during an injury stretch. Points only. I know I can get a very good draft pick for next summer's draft by trading Jaden Schwartz. The other low man on the totem pole is Loui Eriksson, who has not had the season I expected - I acquired him shortly before he was traded to Boston. I don't think there's going to be much of a market for him this summer.
So, keep Loui and take a top-6 pick in next year's draft for Schwartz (undefined, lottery pick), or drop Loui (or flip him for a later pick if I can) and keep Schwartz?
My team is relatively young, but already among the top in the league. What's my best balanced move?
