    Default Stud FA pickups I should move

    League in sig, Multi-cat dynasty.

    I did very well this year in my early free agent pickups. I added Armia, Neal, Blais and R.Strome free of charge.
    I have some buy-low targets in mind and now I want to determine which of those 4 forwards I should be selling.
    Who among the group are primed to sell-high before they crash back to earth? Who among them have established a new normal and are likely to continue to provide good value?

    REP for your assessments. Thanks.

    Armia + Blais for Wheeler is now the deal under discussion.

    Edit: Offer is now on the table.

    in a 10-team league, how the hell did you end up with that team? I don't see how you don't win this year or any year regardless of the Wheeler deal.

    But sure, to make it interesting for yourself, buy low on Wheeler and pat yourself on the back later if he picks it up. From a keeper perspective there's only a few guys in your current set that he will be reliably better than over the next few years if he doesn't return to 90pt version of himself.
    12 Team H2H, keep up to 4 with max total contract years <=10. Keepers replace the draft round in which they were originally selected.

    3C, 3R, 3L, 4D, 2G, 6Bench
    G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, HIT, BLK, FW,
    W, L, GAA, SV, SV%, SO

    C: Karlsson, Trochek, Haula (C/LW)
    LW: Guentzel (LW/RW), Connor, Vrana, Teravainen (LW/RW), Forsberg,
    RW: Konecny, Gallagher (R13), Voracek, Toffoli (LW/RW), Namestnikov (LW/RW)
    D: Carlson, Graves, DeAngelo, Werenski, Myers
    G: Andersen (R3), Samsonov, Merzlikins


    * Andersen (R3) is signed for 2 more years, Gallagher (R13) signed for 1 more year. Carlson is termed out, can't keep.

    You got to be kidding....right?? Armia + Blais for Wheeler? If the other guy bites on this my hat is off to you!!!! If he balks a bit, throw in a draft choice or whatever, this is grand larceny (:

    Nobody is concerned that Wheeler is 33? (i'm not.) I think it is age fear and Wheel's slow start that is driving this.
    Armia and Blais are putting up monster hit totals and its a multi-cat league.
    Due diligence and devil's advocacy makes me ask.

    Armia & Strome are the ones I like most to continue to be useful.

    However, if you can get crazy returns like the deal being proposed to you, that's great.

    Find an Oilers fan to take Neal.

    I do, and I'm kind of frightened that I can so easily think like you do with your roster.

    While you are at it, clean out some old private messages, you are full.
