Play it safe and move Hellebuyck. Lots of demand for him too, so you'll get a good return
So in a cluster near the top of our standings but still several points out of first. I'm sitting here with three pretty darned good goalies, meaning one is rotting on my bench every week. I'd like to take one and trade for help at a position that I could use an improvement (C, RW, maybe D - biggest needs are Goals and PIMs). In a vacuum, who would you look to trade, or am i better off keeping the depth? I've been rolling with Rask and Schneider even though Hellebuyck has been awesome. He just worries me a bit on a struggling team, plus long term there's still a slight chance he gets sent down.
Having said that, if someone comes at me with a really good offer for one of the other guys, would you feel safe with Hellebuyck and Rask (Schneider seems to be the guy other owners are looking for)?
Any opinions are appreciated! Team and league details in signature.

Thanks Dobber! Update though - I've just received an offer of his Roman Josi for my Schnieder. He's the goalie I'm least interested in trading, but Josi makes this interesting. Is the upgrade at D worth the risk that Hellebuyck is the real deal such that I can trade Schneider with no handcuff? I was thinking of countering with Rask, but I don't think he'll take it - his thinking is he'll trade a stud D for a stud G.

Would you be able to get Josi for Hellebuyck??
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Unfortunately no. He equates Hellebuyck to Domingue and he already has Domingue. He is only willing to deal Josi for someone he considers a 'stud' goalie. I am considering seeing if he'd take Rask instead of Schneider.

Don't move Schneider. He's your #1.
If you want to trade from a position of strength (makes sense) don't make that position a weakness in the process.
You'd regret trading Schneider as it would make your team worse almost no matter who you were able to bring in
Trade either of Hellebuyck or Rask
