    Default Managing the D-Men

    Based on my d-men, should I wait it out with Theodore as it seems he has picked up some steam, or should I pick up Dunn while he is still available? Could drop Morrisey, Klefbom, or Manson, too.

    Give me some feedback

    Dunn has cooled off and is not a huge contributor in the banger stats. I actually like the way your D looks right now particularly given that this is a keeper league. Morrisey, Pulock and Theodore will round in to form, not in a big way this year maybe, but I would look for a substantial improvement for all of these guys next year. I agree that Manson is probably your weaker link point wise but while I didn't look, he is likely contributing with Blocks and Hits. The key in making this decision is whether you are competitive this year or are looking to build. If your in a build I'd be inclined to drop Manson and pick up Dunn. If your in the hunt this year I'd be inclined to stick with what you have. As a final point, this team looks pretty damn good for the next few years with the exception of your goaltending. I would try and improve on that rather than tinker with your forwards and defence which are loaded with high end young players, this team has a bright future.

    Thanks. Hate to keep so many D-men, but they are all pretty valuable right now. I was an expansion team and now three seasons in so tried to get good, young talent. Trying to find the right goalie to go after with the right package.

    But thank you, I appreciate the feedback!

    In your settings, I would hold tight. Dunn is good (potentially) in a points only. While I don't think Manson pts up last year's #s, he will still be better than Dunn in your league.

    You have all kinds of nice assets you can move to upgrade your team between the pipes including D men and that's why hanging on to them makes sense. You'll have to roll up your sleeves and do some work to get the right deal done, but with 4 out of your 10 scoring cats being goaltending, you need to be strong at that position if your going to compete. BTW, which Nylander? Good Luck!
