    Yeah. Kaprizov was a player i was going to take the risk and keep until hes not a rookie anymore. Seems as if Meier is a clear cut. Thanks for all the responses. Hopefully be able to make some trades in the off season. If i am unable to trade any players i will probably drop Meier and Fox.

    My initial advice is to try and trade one or even two of these kids before you outright drop any of them.

    My initial drop would be Tuch. I like what he's doing in the NHL, but he will never be an impact player in the NHL and it's just a matter of time before he's gone from your team anyway. The other one would be Meier. I hate the idea of dropping Meier because I am a big fan of his but you might as well retain most of the kids who have yet to even play a game to maximize their time in your minors.

    I wouldn?t drop kaprizov, the reward is too high that the risk is worth it. Meier for sure and I think you look at Fox/Girard. Yes Girard has been really good but defensemen can fluctuate so much from year to year, he has Barire in front of him. With Fox he has gio n dougie in front of him. I don?t like drafting/hanging onto too many blueline prospects. I?d see what Girard can get you since he?s started his nhl career.

    I can understand cutting Meier because he probably wouldn't be a keeper once he hits 200GP. I think Fox is the other guy I'd drop. I would, however, rather trade someone like Girard, Tuch or Yamamoto because I think they're being overvalued these days. Girard really went from undervalued to overvalued in a hurry. I remember beating his drum earlier in the season.
    I agree with most of this, but I think the "undervalued to overvalued" is all about opportunity. He went from sitting behind guys like PK, Josi, Ellis, and Ekholm to EJ, and Barrie who's on the trade block every deadline.
