Move Crawford?

Should I move Crawford? Have the best trio of goalies in our 10 team league. Would like to shore up my RW as I'm pretty weak in that position.

Currently have 4 mil in cap space.

1. Been offered Tyler Johnson, Hutchinson and a 4th rounder for Crawford and my 6th. gives me 7.5 mil total cap space
OR
2. Johnson, Foligno, Hutchinson,5th for my Crawford, Boedker and my 2nd. (which I"m not giving up cause I already traded my first) gives me 5.3mil cap space

Johnson is the key piece in this trade for me as he's 3.33 for two more years.
Hutch is .575 for one more year.

This would free up some space to sign or trade for another significant piece for the final push. Am currently in 2nd and trailing by 15 points. Have been floating between 1st and 2nd most of the year.

Any thoughts or other suggestions?

I don't mind option A but who would you be dropping?

I can drop Ceci or Silfverberg to my farm to make room.

If you have that flexibility then have at it.

Is it enough for Crawford? Being on the Hawks team helps pad the stats, but is it enough for a tier 1 top ten goalie? I'm not so sure.

Pull the trigger on option A. You definitely need help on RW.

Is Paves RW/LW/C, Downie RW/LW, and Giroux C/RW? I would say you’re weaker at LW than RW. If you can flex Paves into LW, and so now your top players are Giroux, Tyler Johnson, Paves, and Karlsson that would be great. You definitely have the extra goalies to pull off the trade, and the key in the trade is getting a goalie back. With 50% of your stats reserved for goaltending, you would want 3 goalies available for use.

I like option A a lot. Hutchinson is a great goalie, and Tyler Johnson makes it worthwhile.

Went for the option a and now the guy doesn't want to do it. Says Hutchinson is playing better than Crawford and not worth it anymore. I told him when Crawford lights it up down the stretch, he's going to get expensive. oh well!

I’d rather have Crawford than Hutchinson. But a great positive for Hutch is that come playoff weeks, he’ll prolly get more playing time than Crawford, as CBH will more than likely rest him often.

Moved Crawford for Johnson and Kuemper and an exchange of 4th's. Then sent Kuemper to my farm and recalled Khudobin for a savings of 2 mil. Not what ideally I wanted for Crawford but wont hurt for future trade talks.
