Reply With Quoteyou have the youngest keeper league squad i have ever seen, that is unreal.
fwiw i wouldnt drop any of those guys for blum. the only one i would consider is carlson and his upside as good as blum's and he is in a better situation in washington.
Blum...Should I?
Just read the daily ramblings and I'm wondering if I should grab Blum while I still can. I would have to drop one of:
My D are:
Erik Karlsson
John Carlson
Victor Hedman
Ryan Whitney
Ryan Suter
Eric Johnson
Do you believe Blum is closer than anyone to making it?
Do you think he has a bigger upside than anyone on the list?
Would you do it now or wait. (Blum was picked in our league but was just dropped.)
Thanks

I agree with blindside in that I wouldnt drop any of those guys for Blum. I just dont see him as a potential impact fantasy d-man especially as compared to that list.
If you can do this in your league...drop Radulov for Blum. Rads is not coming back for at least 2 years.

very young team
there is no defenseman i would drop for blum just yet, but i agree with the above poster. Trade Rads or Kabanov imo
Blum is worth it, however you do have a very good young D corps imo
I wouldn't worry about Blum. The only D-man you have that I might consider to be close to Blum is John Carlson. Carlson scored more points in Jr. last year and he's the right size to thrive in the NHL. I can see another D-man finding a nice groove in Washington at some point in time. He is a contender. Yes, there is also an opportunity for an elite blueliner in Nashville. Blum is only 170 pounds. Let him show you first.
(Blum is interesting)
Do not, under any circumstances, trade away Kirill Kabanov, as he is a top two draft pick next year. Crazy offensive ability.Originally Posted by limpdave
GO WINGS!
I love Blum but you have to look at opportunity and Blum's size as well. He is too big of a risk to drop over any of those other Dmen.
If you could drop someone esle maybe... depends on your team makeup, league rules ect..
