Rittich and Strome
Good Morning,
As it stands, I am sadly out of the playoff race in my FHL. Trade deadline is the this Thurday, 2/21. Need to decide who I'm going to keep and who I could potential trade away. Would like some input on whom you would keep. As title of thread suggests...Keep 5.
League info listed below. Please note in our league we can trade draft picks. Rounds 1-5 (keepers). Round 6 = 1st Round / Round 7 = 2nd Round / Round 8 = 3rd Round / etc ....

Bolded names I am considering as a Keeper.
My definite Keepers are: Eichel / Karlsson / Pettersson / ? / ?
I have already traded Yandle for 6th (1 Rd pick)
Who would pick as my other two (2)?
Is Rittich worthy of a Keeper? (Note: Goalies are gold in this league ... I don't trust Luongo and I think Smith loses his job)
What about Strome? flash in the pan or a young gun only going to get better?
Toews?
I currently have a GM offering me a 6th (RD 1) and 7th (RD 2) for Seguin.
Any and all suggestions are sincerely welcome.
I thank you in advance.

How many teams in your league?
I would keep Eichel, Seguin, Pettersson, Karlsson, and then try to trade everyone else for the best picks possible, keeping whoever you don't manage to trade. Even if that's Palmieri, that would be solid.

You could also try to package Seguin and someone else for a quality keeper winger since you're loaded at C

If you want to keep a goalie, I'd try and package Voracek & Rittich to upgrade that keeper spot.
Trade anyone else of value.

Eichel, Karlsson, pettersson, and Seguin, are the easy ones and should be locks imo.
My last pick would be voracek. I'm not the biggest fan but he's the best of what's left.
It's an interesting format because you can start 4 centers and only 1 LW/RW. Because of that id had no issue keeping 3 high end centers and I think it would be a strong strategy to use.

I have just been offered Laine for Seguin ... thoughts?
Been doing due justice and quite honestly Laine scares the crap out of me ....talk about a down year. Been reading up on many posts here ...Some are all for keeping Laine but a vast majority are very cautious with Laine.
Worth a gamble he recovers next year?

In your league setup, I would ask for a little more for Seguin.

You know what you're getting with Seguin. With your setup centers are quite valuable plus you only need a couple wingers. Id pass on the risk associated with Laine. If he turns it around next year then that's the time to make this deal. In a keep 5 the teams that win will will have elite production from their keepers, no time to wait/waste on development.

these 4 plus 1 more, hopefule acquired via trade:
Eichel
Karlsson
Seguin
Pettersson
If you want to keep a goalie, you need someone safer than Rittich. I'd look to move him and other pieces for picks and a better keeper at D or G. You might have issues improving in net, so targeting a defenseman makes sense. I'm guessing people often don't keep too many D, so if you can get another elite one, that allows you to slough drafting defense for a bit.
Want a Signature? Go to Settings, and you'll find Edit Signature down the list on the left.
I hear what you are saying and certainly will do due justice in looking around, but from experience in this league, Goalies are gold and most GM's will ask for an arm, leg, kidney and your first born to part with a true #1 goalie. Also in this league, defensemen are sort of handcuffed unless you have an offensive minded D-man. I will try to redraft Yandle as his numbers have steadily been climbing since being acquired by Florida. (The GM I traded Yandle does not consider Yandle a Keeper).
Like I said ... I sincerely appreciate all the input from everyone who has responded.
Good Luck to you all for the rest of the season in your respective FHL.
Cheers ......

UPDATE:
So I ended up trading Seguin + an extra first round pick for Draisaitl. I really was not expecting the other GM to make an offer to me as we are friends and communicate back and forth. I casually said about another idea I had, after he turned down my latest offer. I really was not expecting him to make me an offer as I know how much he loves Draisaitl. Don't worry I still have a first round pick and several second rounders.
I now have upgraded my winger position drastically and Draisaitl with him being multi-positional by YAHOO, gives me an added benefit of FOW.
My Keepers as they now stand are as follows: Eichel / Pettersson / Draisaitl / Karlsson / (and either Voracek / D. Strome / or Rittich)
Again I sincerely appreciated everyone's input who responded. So thank you! Even though I have been doing FHL for 5 years now, it is always nice to have a sounding board.
Cheers!
