    Default Need opinions on this one (rep)

    We can keep 1 goalie and 1 minors keeper.
    Currently my goalie I would keep is Grubauer. Excited to see what he can do in a full year as his stats are great. Avalanche are up and coming. I understand he comes with risk of never playing more than 35 games in a year.
    With that said I'm not thrilled for some reason to keep Brannstrom for my minors spot. The only other guys I'd consider over him are tippett, poehling, Bouchard, yamamoto, borgstrom. None excite me for production in 1to2 years.

    I have the opportunity to trade someone I won't keep for Hart in Philly. Meaning I'd have to drop grubs and dubnyk BUT it would allow me to keep either Gustafson, Dumba, yandle or weber as my loan dman. Hart would help me much more than Brannstrom right away. Getting sneaky here. Advantageous?

    Comes down to grubs and branstrom vs Hart and Gustafson or weber. Yandle I'm not considering cause he would give me 1 yr only before I'd have to drop or trade him.

    Can you guys set me straight? I would be trading with the guy that finished 2nd behind me....likely give him yandle for Hart....helping him a bit.

    Is this close or a no brainer?
    Thanks

    Issue 1: Getting rid of Brannstrom is no big deal. He's good, but he'll behind Chabot now and in the future. Other prospec

    Issue 2: Doing the deal. I like the Hart/Gustafson side. There's just more value there. It bites to give the guy behind Yandle, but your opponent's advantage lasts just one year. If you're into thinking longer-term, then you get to the Hart/Gustafson siutation as outlined.

    I forgot Dumba...not sure which guy he'd prefer. He already has krug and Giordano.

    Is Gustafson a better keep that Shea Weber for 1-3 yrs? Actually most important is just this year cause it seems to be always a revolving door of guys leapfrogging into my keepers.

    I agree that none of this is about Brannstrom. Disposable. You can find as good this year or next. The issue then is simply Grubs vs. Hart. THIS YEAR, Grubauer has the reins for a very good team and will get 55 starts. Hart, a shorter leash to being a 1A/1B and limit his starts if he doesn’t start well. For the next 3 years?? Same thing - Colorado is younger, and Philly (Giroux, Voracek, JVR) will be transitioning.

    Talent-wise?? Goalies are so unpredictable, I’m going to say they’re even.

    My thought? Keep Grubs, replace Brannstrom. Pass on the trade.

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Isn't Hart a slam dunk going forward? He's the goalie of the now and the future. 60 games for sure no? Who's the backup?

    Gustafson or Dumba...17 goals from Gustafson...dumba coming off injury and behind Sumter?

    If you know ANYTHING about the Flyers, and their anointed “goalie of the future” failures, you’d want an insurance policy on Hart... I had the opportunity twice so far, and chose Binnington once, other time - Rittich. I’ll believe in Hart after he delivers, not before.

    Problem it’s very difficult to replace brannstrom. That’s why Hart would be way more valuable than any minor league guy that I could trade for. I suppose I could just keep Poehling and replace him at the draft...I’d just rather be able to keep an extra guy that helps me right away type thing.

    As crazy as it sounds I'm starting to think of keeping Hart and dumba and dropping Laine and keeping Gustafson! Laine....trade name will always be there but he's in his final year of contract before I have to trade him or drop him or keep him and drop Crosby. That ain't happening! No way does Laine have enough time this year to prove himself better than my guys I'd have to drop to keep him. I could hang onto him and hope that I can trade for depth or I could just dump him and keep a solid offensive dman! I have a feeling it could be a long while before he signs!
