Trade Cam Ward?
I've been offered Corey Crawford and Alex Salak for my Cam Ward. My other goalie is Jonathan Quick. I also have Dustin Tokarski and Tyler Bunz on my farm team. We keep all players and prospects. I'd really like some opinions on this one.
Thanks!

As much as I like Salak... I dislike Crawford much much more. He has been brutal this season and the hawks have waivored back and forth with Emery. Even though Ward had a terrible start to the year he has the ability to still be a game changer. The canes WILL get better when some of their D man grow into the league. Ward is a top 10 if not a top 5 goalie keeper option imo.
I would keep Ward, especially if your league includes saves. One thing that's been a constant in Carolina is Ward as their goalie. Chicago on the other hand..

Yeah I would sit on Ward - there is a reason the other guy wants to do this trade.
Okay, thanks guys! I will reject his offer. Do you think I should go after Salak? Would you offer up Tokarski for Salak?

Nope - owning Chicago goalies over the lest several years in keepers, hasn't been a very profitable pastime - wait and see what goes down over the offseason. I would rather chase someone closer to getting starts in the NHL, if I was going to put any energy into making a change.
You want to keep Ward. You know he is the number one goalie in Carolina. You don't know if Crawford will be the number one or number two goalie in Chicago or playing on another team. There is no idea what to expect from him.
