Was this the right move? Klingberg for Krejci & Girgensons

Evansville Iceman in the sig

Help me feel better about this trade I just made.

Sent Krecji & Girgensons
Received Klingberg

My team right now:
C - Nugent-Hopkins, Statsny, Nelson, Lee, Strome
L - Huberdeau, Lucic, Saad, Schwartz, Pouliot, Moulson, Fleischman
R - Forsberg, Nyquist, Stone, Simmonds, Gaborik, Burmistrov
D - Klingberg, Leddy, Markov, Myers, Schultz, Stone
G - Allen, Elliott, Lehner, Lack

I'm gonna have a hard time with FOW after this trade now.

You lose out on every single category, but gain a very promising young D. It's the price to pay for that type of player but I would have opted to try to swing the deal without Girgensons.

How many players are you allowed to keep?

[Pengwin7]

You are pooched for FOW - but there's absolutely nothing wrong with punting ONE category in H2H.
No worries - big upgrade on D with Klingberg.

FOW is one of the easiest categories to put a bandaid on. Easiest thing is to drop Fleischman and picked up Vermette. He may be available, and if he’s not I’d trade for him. If you can’t pull the trigger on getting vermette, there are tons of guys like Gaustad, D.Moore, Fiddler, MacKenzie, Fehr, Sam Gagner, K. Hayes, Lander and maybe Trocheck who are wing eligible that will win over 300Face-offs each this yr.

I really like this trade for you, especially because you are geared young, and your D needed some top end youth injected into it.

Thanks guys!

I've got a couple ideas of players to stream from waivers once the season starts for FOW
examples: Fiddler, Lowry, Thompson

Some teams need to bring their farm team sizes by the start of the season so there may be some WW pickups still to come so I'm gonna hold off a bit.

Worst case scenario I can call up Monohan from my farm, but I won't be able to put him down at the end of the season.

Woah massive Farm.
Nurse, Nichushkin, Panarin, Gaudreau, Burakovsky, Trocheck, Monahan, Larkin, Kuzy, Grigs, Draisaitl, Barzal! GEEZ.

Side note, Draisaitl may play with Hall+McDavid on the 2^nd line on the right side. He may be a nice add to your major system.

I don't have an issue losing Girgensons as I think he has been pushed down the lineup in Buffalo with the acquisitions of ROR and Eichel. He went from a top line center to a 3rd line center in a summer. He's one player I have been telling people they should sell now before everyone else catches up with the obvious that he doesn't hold the same value as he had last year.

Krejci is the one that may hurt more, especially if he can stay healthy, but as mentioned, you have to give to get.

While I think in the long run, you will be happy with your trade, I think you could have got more in selling Krejci and Girgensons but it is what it is.

This is my fear as well.
