    Default Am I crazy? Forsberg for Bobrovsky

    So I didn't draft a third goalie this year. I thought I would wait a few weeks, see how position battles played out and pick up something off the wire, since our league is only 8 teams.

    The bobrovsky owner in my league is seriously weak at LW, he has approached me about deals centered around Craig Anderson for Ehlers or Forsberg for Bobrovsky. I targeted Forsberg and Ehlers in the first two rounds and felt glad to have grabbed them. Personally, I want to head into the season with my LW intact, but am I crazy not to be jumping to throw forsberg at him for Bob?

    the trade is fair for Bob coming off last season Forsberg is a discounted price IMO but I ride with your duo initially see what it produces stream a third option if need be the likes of MAF must be out there or perhaps Robin Lehner.

    Thanks that was my feeling, rep given. MAF, and the Florida duo are on waivers. I actually was targetting Lehner in the last round but he was taken one spot ahead of me. That GM seldom trades but hoping to convince him to toss lehner my way.

    I'd hold as well... See how things play out in the first few weeks. I expect Nashville's no 1 line to start strong.
    Set roster weekly in H2H (Mon to Sun) - 16 Teams - start 6F, 3D, and 1G per week - Keep 2

    Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO

    Forwards:
    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    Defense:
    B. Burns, J. Klingberg, R. Josi, J. Slavin

    Goalie:

    In a 8 team league, goalies lose a lot of value.

    I don't think I would make the deal. So hard to tell without knowing more though. Daily starts? Or weekly?

    What kind of forwards are on waivers?

    Personally, I think you drafted too young to compete this year. In a limited keeper you don't need to draft that young, IMO.

    If a reliable vet is on the waivers, Id be more inclined to do this trade.

    I would drop Keller for any available goalie right now and be happier with my team.

    I think Bob will outperform one, if not both of your goalies, but I'd probably hold pat since they won't be bad. If anything his LW needs might grow and you can get more for FF if you hold.

    Thanks everyone, rep given. I definitely have a young team, I usually draft young, see how players pan out and then pick up veterans off the wire because a few guys in my league are quite impatient. Our league is daily starts, with a start cap of 164. Also a start cap of 164 for each of C, LW, and RW. There are a lot of good centres on waivers (Monahan, couture, Kesler), the best LW are Schwartz, Burakovsky, Parise, Galchenyuk, Niedereitter. I could make the trade and pick up one of those guys and drop Keller. Just wanted to grab keller and see how he looked the first few weeks of the season

    I would drop Keller for Schwartz or even Nino. Monahan is also a good option if Kuznetsov still has LW eligibility.

    What are the goalie stats? With 164 max starts you'll likely need a 3rd starter at some point or could stream a guy. MAF may be a stud or a dud depending on your league scoring.

    Kuz is only C eligible. And yeah I don't see myself keeping Keller past the first two weeks, he was a flyer in my last round.

    Goalie stats are W: 4pts, GA: -1pt, SV: 0.2pt, SHO: 2pt.

    And yeah they were my first two picks, Ehlers was a stretch but I love him haha. First two rounds were
    RD1: Backstrom, Gaudreau, Simmonds, Forsberg, Nylander, Rinne, Vasilevsky, Bergeron
    RD2: Bishop, Rask, Ehlers, Guentzel, Weber, Hall, Klinberg, Krug

    Run happened on the remaining left wingers over the first two rounds
