Kessel for S. Theodore

[TrueNorth]

Wondering what you think of this deal. One for one.

Scoring G, A, +/-, HITS, PPP, GWG.

Not team in sig

I'd want to know what your roster looked like to see what your need is.

Kessel by a large margin for me

[TrueNorth]

Current keepers are:

P Kane, Ovy, Benn, Josi, Krug, Gio, Rinne, Price. (keep 9).

On the bubble, Zibanajed, Dadonov, Couturier, Theodore.

My thinking, I am weak on the W's and typically like to go into the draft with a 0 C strategy (everyone has solid keeper centers so usually able to snag decent top tier option)

I get the C strategy, but regardless, I prefer Zibs over Kessel or Theodore here. He's just your best option by a fair amount.

[DusterDave]

You are covered on D with Krug, Giordano and Josi. I’d take Kessel.

There is a very good chance I can re draft Ziba with my first FA pick.

Over Zibanajad?

Over Zibanajad?

Not necessarily. I’m just answering the initial question asked.

fair point.

[cheese_cake]

By all projections, Kessel should be by far the best player.
Knowing that, you'll have to make a decision regarding Zibanejad too

[mounD]

I prefer Kessel over Theodore, it seems like this league format is pretty solid for Phil. It's kind of a moot point, though, as I'd probably just keep Zibanejad as your last keeper anyway. Couturier is great, but he's not as physical as Zib, and Dadonov/Theodore are probably easier to re-draft. You're already in a good position with three high-end defensemen as keepers, so I would just keep the best player available for your last spot -- I think that's Zibanejad.

or you could just keep Zibs - have a better set of keepers and draft someone else.

[Belexus75]

I drafted Zib in 2nd round in league with hits pics FoW....some think I’m crazy but numbers don’t lie.

also I think you are more likely to redraft Kassel over Zib

Thanks everyone!
