If it's a cap league, keep Keller. If it's not a cap league, I'd move Keller for Kyle Connor.
Someone is interested in my Keller, and is offering Connor. My format is goal heavy, goals 3 pts vs assists 2, as an example. Not a banger league, no hits, pims, shots, face offs etc. My signature is missing for some reason so need to look into that, but i壇 Think Keller would be the guy to move in this format vs Boeser in a Connor deal. I just don稚 want to make a lateral move is all, and feel keller night have a higher ceiling, but maybe I知 biased lol. Does 1 for 1 make sense, or should it be a plus from other gm, or just hang onto Keller and wait and see? I like the goal upside with Connor, but not sure what he値l produce points wise next 2 seasons vs say Keller, but it痴 obvious Keller has been more consistent. I owned Connor at one point, just briefly but before he was full time so wasn稚 sure about him.
If it's a cap league, keep Keller. If it's not a cap league, I'd move Keller for Kyle Connor.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Then I said would you add a pick, or do a slight pick upgrade, and he started asking about Boeser instead and said he痴 over Keller. Seems like a lateral move to me, Boeser is a goal scorer like Connor, vs Keller more assist heavy but should have highest ceiling of the 3? Then he says Keller is centre only, and I said he痴 lw/rw, and he said Boeser is his guy. He mentioned how he owned Keller before; but I told him
Doesn稚 matter, he had never signed him so no rules come in about trading back
For a guy you had before and contract rules wouldn稚 come up. Then he offers Dubois for Boeser lol and I said no, so he says Connor for Boeser. Hard pass
Sounds like he's wasting your time fishing for bargains to me. Probably time to walk away.

I prefer Keller to Connor. Connor has had prime deployment on a stacked first line. Is the top line where he stays? Do they swap him and Ehlers to try to spark offense on line 2? All questions I have. Connor will be the better goal scorer of the 2, but Keller's ceiling is higher. 65 points as a rookie on a bad team is pretty impressive. Don't trade Keller now when his value is low. If you wait a season or 2 I think you could get a lot more than Connor in return.
If he is interested in revisiting Keller for Connor I would make that trade. It very well could end up being a lateral move though so I wouldn稚 sweat it if he isn稚 interested anymore.
I wouldn make that trade. Just be patient. Like you said, Keller's beas mode season is coming soon

I would hold Keller. I don't think Connor is enough of an immediate improvement to account for Kellers upside.
Kessel is going to help his point production. A healthy OEL should as well and another year of development for Keller and the support crew. Upside is there. I'd hold.

So... I’m the opposite voice of reason. Winnipeg lost Trouba, Myers, and Chiarot. They’re not going to win games 1-0. Wheeler is in his last 2 years. Laine?? Who knows. Connor has scored 30 in both of his first 2 years - that’s not a common feat, and he’s going to be given every opportunity to be “the guy” on an offense-first playoff team. Think 250+ shots and 25-30 PPP.
Assists?? Take Keller, sure. But scoring is the name of the game - I make the trade!

Being goal heavy format, take Connor. If wasnt goal heavy and just points, would take Keller.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Going to hang onto Keller for now because the other gm keeps asking for a Boeser instead, and I知 not moving Boeser for Connor. And I was still hesitant to move Keller for Connor as I think Keller could have a huge season soon.
