F. Forsberg/Rittich for Debrincat/Lehner

[Christian T]

Currently in 2nd and looking for a goalie to solidify my team. I’ve been offered

My Forsberg (LW) and Rittich for his Debrincat (LW/RW) and Lehner

categories are G, A, PPP, SOG, HITS, BLKS, W, SAVES, SV%

I think lehner is an upgrade on rittich and Debrincat has been playing extremely well. We keep 5 and Forsberg probably wouldn’t have been a keeper with my current roster. Would this be a good deal to move Forsberg in?

Lehner might be splitting time with Greiss, but the Trotz system is goalie-beneficial. Also, I think DeBrincat is pretty durn good. I make that deal.

[Wotan]

I'd be hesitant. I'm not saying it's a bad deal, but there are simply too many unknown factors for both involved Gs. Who knows how the G situations in NY and CGY will play out? Who will get how many starts? Rittich got considerably more starts than Lehner so far and got more wins because he plays for the better team. But Smith has been eating into Rittich' starts lately. Meanwhile Lehner's peripherals are better so far - but they're way more likely to go down than to increase any further going forward.
So in the end you're giving the better skater while simly taking another gamble - but still a gamble - on G. I'd stay put. Also because I wouldn't overestimate DeBrincat with his very weak peripherals.

I agree with the above. G's are unpredictable has hell - especially if Lehner's not an Islander next season, who knows what his value will be. I think you need to look at this as Forsberg for Debrincat, and I wouldn't make that move.

I'm mash accepting for DeBrincat & Lehner.. Do it before this guy regains control of his senses. You lose a few hits with FF, but ADB I'd argue has higher offensive upside. Lehner is also more assuredly going to get 50% of starts than Rittich, who could, as we speak already be relegated to the back up role.

I love Forsberg as a player but I don't like the team he's on fantasy-wise. I just can't see him hitting his true ceiling in the balanced Nashville system. 70pts or so is probably the top end he can hit there and I think he's got PPG in him if he had the right situation.

DeBrincat on the other hand is pure scorer and is used as such. He gets less ice time than Forsberg and is still running at a PPG pace right now with 40 goals comfortably on the horizon. He may not finish this season at PPG in the end but he's showing huge potential as 21yr old second year player. Playing on a PP with a guy like Patrick Kane is obviously a great spot to be too. 65-70pts may be his floor moving forward and I can see him hitting 85 multiple times in the future.

I'm super high on him and have been since I reached for him a round or two early in our redraft in the summer. He's surpassed my expectations already and will fly past the 65pts I projected him for. Love the guy.

[DusterDave]

Decline for me. Goalies are unpredictable and much prefer Forsberg to DeBrincat. I’m even keeping Forsberg over Draisaitl.

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Late love for DeBrincat. I mean, jeez, the guy has 33 goals/61 pts. In his 2nd season. And he's not skating 5v5 with Kane. On the other hand, his % seems a little high at 19.2%, but he's still going to bust the 40 goal mark and is on pace for 220+ shots, so...Kane Jr?
