What To Do With Underachievers
Hi all,
so, this year, I had a bunch of wingers who fell way short of expectations and were downright bad, like below replacement value.
Jaden Schwartz
Nikolaj Ehlers
Clayton Keller
Max Pacioretty
What do you do with this bunch, who are supposed to be core players but actually sucked. Are they any better next year? Should I just blow the whole thing up?

Re: What To Do With Underachievers
I do agree with HR that Keller and Ehlers still gave the upside that makes me be patient with. I'd have no issues moving Pacioretty or Schwartz if you can. Schwartz is still an excellent player (almost a ppg player a year ago) but injuries are still a concern for me.

Re: What To Do With Underachievers
I feel like the only one around here that really doesn't like Ehlers. Just a feeling, but ever since his first year, he has seemed to just disappoint everyone. I'm moving him and the name/team value. Patches I think rebounds on a full year in Vegas. Keller I am definitely holding. Schwartz I have no problem trading for the best offer you get.

Re: What To Do With Underachievers
Best way to find out is to seek out trade scenarios that make sense for you, involving any combination of the four. Pac and Schwartz are the more obvious non-core players but rebuilders are more likely to overpay for Ehlers/Keller. Look around your league and make the deal work for you.

Re: What To Do With Underachievers
You can test the trade market but they all had down years so you’d be selling low. Considering it is a dynasty, dropping them isn’t an option either. I’d hold and hope for a turn around next season. Not much more you can do unless you get fair trade value of course.
Re: What To Do With Underachievers
Might want to wait juuuuust a bit to move either. With playoffs starting, they can only enhance trade values.

Keller is a must hold, he is the future there and really teh Yotes are comin
