I had Granlund as close to Benn...Granlund had slowed since but still like him alot
I think Granlund has a chance to have seasons where he'll outperform Benn, but it'll need to be an up year for Granlund and a down year for Benn (seriously, I've heard people saying he's in a down year right now and he's still almost a point per game player). I can't see Benn having too much trouble staying near that point per game mark for another few years, and he's considerably better than what you're likely able to pick up from the draft in a keep 7. Letang is way ahead of replacement level, too; but only if he's healthy like this year. On top of that, I honestly think that for your league settings, you might be stronger at D than F anyhow, so it would make more sense to deal from your position of strength.

yup. in my pool last year, Granlund had more fantasy points than Benn. Granlund getting better, Benn slowing (eventually and with Hitchcock....offense could suffer). So I guess options are:
1) Keep Benn and move the others for mid level picks
2) Keep Granlund and move Benn for good package and possibly others if there are takers
3) Keep Letang and move all my forwards
Probably in that order too from everyone's comments....REP given to all; much appreciated everyone
What are the odds that you move a guy like Granlund or Letang and they don't get kept? Might be worth looking into, if only because if you can trade one of them for a mid round pick and then get him back (even if it's with a higher pick than you get for him)? Effectively net yourself an extra keeper.

in our pool, mid summer trades are GMs like me offloading extra keppers to GMs short of 7. So say Benn would fetch a couple picks (including at least a 1st) and the others maybe get a 2nd for say Pavelski and Getzlaf (older guys). Anyone I trade would be kept.
Draft isn't stellar but better than nothing and if I lose these guys for nothing, I have no picks for next season. Still not the end of the world, but I have no shot to get them back in the draft.
I'm probably deepest team, with 3 good forwards on good teams (plus minus is huge); 2 good D on good teams and 2 top goalies. Most keep like 5 forwards, 1D and 1G and not as good as my keepers
If you can get a fortune for Subban I think I'd go that route (depending on the definition of fortune). Happily keep Letang, benn, and klingberg
I'd expect Letang plus minus to be much better next season after the poor start and beyond that I don't see a big difference between him and Subban in points only.
