Rank these Schultz replacements

[Sidenown]

So in a great spot this year to win. Made moves to improve my D and then Schultz went down. As its a concussion I am not comfortable with riding it out. How would you rank these possible replacements based on production for the rest of the year (since none will be keepers, although I might be able to flip some of the trade candidates prior to the draft). Some are confirmed available via trade, others on the wire.

Via Trade:

Shattenkirk
Werenski
Suter
Seth Jones

On the Wire:

Phaneuf
Dumba
Petry
Orlov
Klefborn
Trouba

Don't know if any of those guys are worth downgrading a pick when there are half decent options on the wire

[Sidenown]

I really like Trouba it might be worth saying...but I already have so many jets...

[kkooopitar]

doubt u can land Shattenkirk, Werenski would be not bad. From FA, Phaneuf

[Sulla]

What would the trade options cost?

[havanablast21]

Simplest move to Benefit this year would be a free
Add Of Phanuef for your weakest player IMO.

[kevinsrangers]

yup, add phaneuf for free.

[j0hn_d0e]

Phaneuf is my first choice, Klefbom second

So I made a move that is probably going to be derided

Sent: Eichel, Schultz and a 1st
Received: Tavares, Shattenkirk and a 3rd

There are only 2 years left to this keeper league (was set up with a set number of years) and I don't see Eichel massively outscoring Tavares over the next two seasons and I like the idea of having at least one sure thing at forward going into next year.

should still add Trouba, been a top 15 defender for over a month now.

Sidenown - I don't mind the trade considering there's only 2 years left in the league. All things being equal Eichel should not drastically out produce Tavares for the next 2 years. I like both of those players almost equally during that time.

I also like shatty over Schultz. I can't get over how bad Schultz was in Edmonton last year.. Different team and situation, I know... I know... But he left a bad taste. Shatty is a bit of a wild card this year and could get moved before the deadline (although I think that's looking less likely but you never know).

All in all id call Tavares and Eichel a wash (next 2 years only), a win with shatty over Schultz (for me but debatable), and obviously a loss on the picks. Overall a fairly fair trade and it's hard for me to pick which side id take.

MZac, thanks for the analysis, I appreciate it. I think if I didn't think I had a great shot at winning this year, I don't do this trade, but gotta go for it!

And LuigiC173, would you drop any of Krug, Kling, Shatt or Karlsson in order to pickup Trouba? I don't see someone on my team worth dropping for him at this point, maybe at the end of the season when I need to make up some D games.
