Centre Problem in Shallow League

G,A,PPP,SOG,Hits,Blks

We only start CCLLRRDD + 1 Util. Problem is I own Schefiele, Monahan, Kopitar and now Trocheck is back. All Cs.

What kind of value should I be looking for if I deal one of them? Obviously I'd love to deal Kopitar but his value is lowest. Last year I trade Monahan after his incredible start, but this year he has continued his pace all year so far.

Rest of team for the record:

10 team league
LW: Ovie, PLD, Timo
RW: Kane, Pavelski, Nylander
D: Petry, Edler, Klingberg, Gustafsson
G: Helle and Bob

Kopitar must be pretty marginal. Is there a Kings homer in your league?

Unfortunately no there is not. I acquired him eearlier this year for Kadri. Was hoping for a breakout but it just hasn't come and he's not doing the peripheral things that made him a top 10 player last year.

Right, so its time for him to go for whatever you can get. One-year league, you have have 3 better guys. I wouldnt be holding him if there is something better on the WW that can help.
PS Nylander is weak can you schlep him off to a Leafs homer? Every league has at least 1 Leafs homer.

I know Kopitar is the ideal one....but is Monahan for Aho a good deal? In this league with minimal roster spots Aho plays all three. Huge asset to have.

Thats not bad at all, tempting

Another couple PP points and 7 SOG for Monahan.....

Honestly, I'd just drop Kopitar and not even think twice about it. In a one-year, shallow league, it's all about streaming and riding the hot hands.

I agree, losing Kopitar is going to allow you to target your opponents weaknesses week to week. In a 16 roster format there must be some juicy stream options. How limited are you limited moves?

Thats it! You could try to trade him for what is your biggest weakness. Goaltending maybe? or a valuable winger who is both LW/RW.
In my keeper league I'm stuck with too good players to drop a single one, BUT my strategy come playoff time will be exactly this - open a roster spot and try to get as much game played as possible.
