Best Option at D?
Multicat salary keeper league in signature.
I own Ryan Suter. While, he has performed at his normal rate thus far and projects for his usual yearly numbers, his cap hit is a bit of a burden. His contract and term, coupled with his age, makes him next to impossible to trade as well. I have Byfuglien on the bench as well, holding out hope.
My question is, taking into consideration it is a multicat salary keeper league, would you drop Suter($7,538,461) for either Niskanen($5,750,000) or Hampus Lindholm($5,205,556)? Looking for the best player for this year and next. Thanks for opinions!

Re: Best Option at D?
Pretty deep league so most bargains are likely long gone. I think either of the other two will benefit you overall when factoring in saved salary.

Re: Best Option at D?
I think I'd cut Byfuglien before I'd make that move. Niskanen isn't enough of a savings, and Lindholm is okay at his price point, but not spectacular.
I'm in a really deep (~900 rostered total, including prospects) league, and there are still some D out there who can give you production at minimal cost. Look for any cheap D that has some grit for the replacement.

Re: Best Option at D?
Duncan Keith, Brian Dumoulin, Nate Schmidt, Alec Martinez,and Jared Spurgeon are also available besides Matt Niskanen and Hampus Lindholm. Just looking for best option. Can keep Suter, but would rather not.
Re: Best Option at D?
to answer your question, best player for next few years is still Suter but he is the most expensive one. I agree with EB however that you target a very cheap D and use 7m where u can.

Re: Best Option at D?
Multi cat, I would grab Nate Schmidt if he available. He top pairing on top team getting PP time. If you can get him, can maybe try and get draft pick for Suter.

Re: Best Option at D?
Any last minute recommendations? Thinking I am going to drop Suter for Keith, Niskanen, Spurgeon, or Schmidt.
