Salary Cap Keeper League - Ehlers for Provorov

[Ommmzzz]

Hi All,

I'm in a salary cap keeper league and was just offered Provorov for Ehlers. Should I accept this trade?

League is points G (1 pt), A (1 pt), Hits (0.2 pt) & Blocks (0.2 pt). We're allowed 7 keepers per year and must keep at least 1 F, 1 D and 1 G in those 7. This is what my team currently looks like.

F - Crosby, Wheeler, Getzlaf, Hornqvist, Benn, Scheifele, Lee, Zuccarello, Ehlers, Pageau, Domi, Silfverberg, Sheary, Point
D - Ristolainen, Ekman-Larsson, Gudas, Borowiecki, Klingberg, Manson, Faulk, Beauchemin
G - Murray, Andersen, Rask
IR - Byfuglien, Ritchie

Once they come off IR I will drop Sheary for Ritchie and Beauchemin for Byfuglien. With the trade I would also need to drop a D for a F as I will have too many.

Should I make this deal? I would lean towards dropping Manson and picking up a player like Namestnikov or Tom Wilson as my F. So essentially the trade is Ehlers + Manson for Provorov & Namestnikov. This would leave me with 2.75M in cap space.

Appreciate the help!

With how many hits/blocks Provorov provides, I would make the deal even if it's just for this year. However he may even be enough of a bargain to be your D keeper down the line.

Not in a hits league, but IMO I would be hard pressed to give up Ehlers.
