    Default Over the cap... moving defense

    Need to move a few defensemen to get myself under the cap (6m over). Multi cats league (g,a,pts,-/+, shots, blocks,hits,stp)

    Currently have: pk, jones, kurg, ceci, ghost, severson, russell, vatiana, johns, pulock, sanhiem

    Have an offer for ghost, will he rebound or worth moving?

    Thinking of releasing vatiana and russell. Thoughts?

    Russell and Ceci are almost definite releases for me. I'd go the cheap route over these guys. That'll save you a few million.

    is vatiana - vatanen? Cuz I have no clue who Vatiana is. I agree with Eric Ceci/Russell would be easy drops to save some coin. They do have peripheral value hits, blocks. if it is Vatanen then I'd almost prefer to drop him, doesn't offer a lot of offence and doesn't fit blocks, hits, sog, pim either.

    Another Nova Scotian on the boards. Welcome.

    Some more information (offer for Ghost, salaries, etc) would be helpful, but given the info you've provided, I think if you want to cut salary as your primary goal here, then dropping Russell, Ceci or even Severson would probably make the most sense to me.

    Bottleneckers (12/16 in 2022)
    16 team, points only. G: 2-W, 4-SO.
    Top 9F, 4D & 1G . Keep 15, Max 23

    D: Bouchard, McAvoy, Morrissey, Heiskanen
    G: Vasilevskiy

    First move, drop Russell. That'll clear you $4m quickly.
    Kris Russell is great for blocks, but THAT.IS.IT., but you just can't pay a one-category player $4m... so drop Russell.
    Look at these stats... there's NOTHING there, outside of the BLK:
    https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/3951/

    If you absolutely NEED to compete in BLK in this league, then... I'd try to move PK Subban.
    At a cap hit of $9m... I'm not sure he's full value.
    I mean, consider Ghost... who is $4.5m.
    If Ghost gives you 50%+ across-the-board stats of PK, then he's same value.

    With no takers on a trade (PK, Ghost, or others), I'd say Sami Vatanen @ $4.875 (if that's Vatiana) is probably a straight-drop.
    Ceci, depends on what his new cap number is.

    Depending on your league, and if its H2H category play... you might consider just straight-punting the BLK category.
    Let somebody else overpay for those stats.
    You have a bunch of point-producing non-BLK type D-men (after you cut Russell), so I'd stay that course.

    If it's roto... different story - you probably have to try to compete a bit in each category, incl. BLK.

    Russell/Severson/Ceci if that clears enough room.
