    Default Huge dilemma! Should I do it or not?

    Keeper League. Points only. Salary cap 75M$ (yearly salary, not cap hit).

    So I went and got Rasmus Ristolainen as I think he's gonna be a beast in the near future.

    However I've just been offered a package that makes me hesitate:

    Dougie Hamilton + Vadim Shipachev vs Ristolainen.

    Should I pull the trigger or hang onto Risto?

    I'm not much a fan of Hamilton but he did manage to crack 50 points last year.. I'm really surprised and confused by this offer. Any advice is welcome!
    Thanks!

    How close are you to the cap?

    Hamilton/Shipachev will cost you about $10 million. Risto is about $5.4 million.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    Salary cap is a concern however it is not something I can't manage.

    I am also gunning for the championship next season.

    What are the respective ceilings of every player involved you think?

    I'd take the Hamilton/Shipachev side. I think Ristolainen and Hamilton are in the same tier when it comes to points only leagues. Shipachev has to be top six and top PP in Vegas, right? I'd make that deal.

    Yep. Hamilton and Ristolainen are peers in a points only league - Shipachev is a significant added plus.

    If this was a roto league, completely different story.

    As long as Ship is coming in and replacing someone less productive for the same cap, then do it. The defencemen are pretty even.

    No deal.

    Ship is gonna get 45 points and Risto is undisputed #1 now and forever. Hamilton is playing with too many guys that could steal his job is he plays bad for 3 games. He's too risky comparatively. Wait till Risto gets to play a full season with Eichel. Oh baby look out.

    No I won't in this case because it is the offseason.

    This was exactly my initial gut feeling on Risto. Hence the hesitation..
