Three Ziba sell highs

[Fighting_Emu]

So first off- DONT PANIC- I know what I have in Ziba and I am well aware hes likely taking a step forward this year. I just feel like its closer to82 than 102 and the irony even if it is 102 itll be off the back of 8 points in 2 games which I already got credit for- lol!

League:
Daily changes- weekly hth format. Keep 10- Keep 12 then cut 2 to get to 10 before the draft
Sog and goal weighted- G4, A3, Sog/Pim0.5, PPP/GWG+1

My Roster:
F- Malkin, Tavares, Ziba, Forsberg, Evander, Skinner, Meier, Keller, Stepan
D- Burns, Ghost, Faulk, Nurse,
G- Vasy
Bn- Gibson, Olofsson, Texier, Bjorkstrand

Trade One

Ziba, Ghost, Nurse
For
Dahlin, Eichel

Premise: There are some intriguing waiver adds especially on D. Could add Colin Miller or Girard if I want to go young. Eichel is an upgrade long term and having Dahlin and Burns as a one-two keeper punch sounds mighty fine.

Ziba, Texier, Nurse
For
Laine, EK, Kadri

Premsie: I havent actually offered this yet but the thinking is Laine requires an overpay and nows about the only time he'll likely be available. Im also a big fan of landing Burns and EK. I think Kadri is due for a big bounceback (obvy) and would be a solid replacement over one year.

Trade 3

Ziba, Nurse, Bjorkstrand
For
Aho, Hamilton, Gusev

Premise: Lifted directly from Keeping Karlsso- lmao!! The idea is to move Ziba for a struggling Aho and add a moderate "plus" to make it worthwhile. Im a big time Hamilton fan and worried I should maybe offer Ghost here instead to make it more enticing. I also own Gusev in mostleagues and am a fan as hes underperforming currently and I think hes about to go essplodey!!

Ok with trade 1 , not a fan of trade 2 and would like trade 3 a lot better if you gave up ghost over nurse. Eichel is the only upgrade to zibby imo maybe Aho but that is close

[MZac]

Trade one quite easily for me. You get the best forward and the best defender. Both are young with their best ahead of them. Plus there's decent waiver wire options. I like it alot.

[Eskimo Brother]

I don't think you would be able to get #2 to happen. Just not enough going towards the other GM.
If you can pull off #1 I like it the most, but I would also do #3.

You prefer Nurse to Ghost?? Im more of a Ghost fan- herm...

Could I upgrade Texier to a more proven commodity like Bjorkstrand? At least further in his development. Id say Stepan but people arent woke on him yet. Did I use that right? My kids would be so proud!! Also could upgrade Nurse to Ghost (which apparently might not be an upgrade??).

So:

Ziba, Bjorkstrand, Ghost
For
Laine, Kadri, EK

[mjm44]

a case could be made for ghost over Nurse, im just not a believer in Ghost personally. I like Nurse for the all around game he brings. Laine I think is overvalued by name to what he provides, EK is a risk, the guy is great for sure but hasn't been his true self lately , I could see him coming back but nagging injuries scare me. Like Bergeron who is an absolute stud when he plays, but you know he is going to miss some time. I like Zibby a lot and his situation, but Eichel is more of a guarantee that is why I like trade 1. Aho I am a fan of but I think him and zibby are close.

I agree about Aho and Ziba might even win the battle this year- but in any given year i think they project in roughly the same tier. You have to believe in the other two upgrades- which I do. Hamilton is divisive but I think this is the year it finally happens. Theyre going to let a museum goer sit at the front of the powerplay :P Anyways brutally inappropriate jokesd aside I think he finally gets a shot on pp1 consistently and shows fantasy owners what many of us have already known for a while hes a sog voluming (yes its a verb), goal scoring, son of a birch! Hes a gamble still because he always seems to be- but Im a believer. Im also less reticent than most on gusev. I think his PNHLe trnslates closer to Panarin than dadonov (and honestly Dadonov would be a fine return- lol!)

I think most agree Trade 1 is a lock.

Brings us to trade 3- what do you think of the updated version?

Ziba, Faulk, Bjorkstrand
For
Laine, EK, Kadri

Im a Laine fan. Im not sure it happens in Winnipeg but Im getting vibes very reminiscent of Boston and Seguin. I feel like he'll make a stand against Wheeler/Scheif (because from what i gather depending what side of the room youre on theyre either fantastic role models/or overbearing and invasive- lol! I think he might force a trade but even if youre the architect of a move like that it can still be a wake up call of sorts. I feel like with seguin- the talents there, the message will get through and between pride and wanting to make a good impression on either a new team or on the dmeanding team hes currnetly on- he'll step up and out and be the AO-lite we all thought he could be. I feel like we'll lose half a season which will count towards modest totals- but a big second half followed by several years of elite level line.

Long story somehwat shorter? i could take a hit this year- but it should start to level out in the second half (when i need him for playoffs)- and going forward he'll be a legit top shelf keeper. I think EK will be a beast when healthy. Lovin those soggies already this season- think he breaks 4-5 hundred fairly easily...

[Belexus75]

im going to guess other GM(s) will not bite on any of thees..but all 3 would be good...i would rank them #1, #3, #2 in terms of return you get.

[lucafen4]

this one:

Ziba, Ghost, Nurse
For
Dahlin, Eichel

[Smurf06]

I love trade 1 and if you pick up Girard it is a win/win.

[joeb323]

Really like Trade 1 for you. Get Dahlin now while you can because he’ll be unobtainable soon

[Fighting_Emu]

So I havent offered 2 and Im having a hard time tweaking it to where Im happy with it- so I might just skip that offer.

1 and 3 are offered. I think offer 3 is a hard sell. I dont know- I feel like offer one has a lot of merit...
