Trying to get value for Vasilevsky
Hello all,
Not only has Vas been terrible this year, but I have to drop him at the end of the season because he has been kept the maximum number of times already. There is one owner in our league who has Rask and Binnington. He can't keep both of them (league rules say only 1 goalie keeper) so I want to make a play for one of them with Vas as the main ingredient from my side. I would prefer Rask because he can be kept 2 times where Binnington can only be kept 1 more time, but would take either. I would be looking to do an n-n trade where he gives up his weakest player and I plan to drop him as part of the trade (that is probably Athanasiou). His team is as follows:
M. Zibanejad NYR - C
A. Henrique Anh - C
S. Monahan Cgy - C
V. Olofsson Buf - LW,RW
T. Bertuzzi Det - LW,RW
N. Schmaltz Ari - C,LW,RW
A. Athanasiou Det - C,LW,RW
P. Buchnevich NYR - RW
T. Konecny Phi - RW
J. Carlson Was - D
M. Giordano Cgy - D
Q. Hughes Van - D
H. Lindholm Anh - D
B. Wheeler Wpg - C,RW
A. Barkov Fla - C
S. Aho Car - C
T. Teravainen Car - LW,RW
J. Allen StL - G
T. Rask Bos - G
J. Binnington StL - G
I know he is willing to give up Wheeler and that might be my play. So it might be 3-3 with Wheeler, Rask/Binnington and Athanasiou. This allows him to get rid of 2 skaters who are underperforming and gives me a chance to get a guy in Wheeler who has a chance to get back to his old stuff in the second half.
The question is who do I offer from my side without killing my team? I am currently in first and think I have a chance to win it all, but Vas is killing me. His 5 goal performance last week meant I lost both GAA and SV% for the week. This meant I lost the week instead of winning it. He has done this to me a few times already this season.
I would love to get rid of Vas and Hart + one skater so I can stream goalies for the season. There are a number of goalies with very good stats on the WW.
I would also be open to Binnington/Rask + Allen + Wheeler for Vas + Hart + skater where I would drop Allen and stream goalies who happen to be starting for the day.
Thoughts?
In a 10 league where we start 3C, 3LW, 3RW, 4D and 2 G daily. It is a H2H league - we keep 3 players (1 G max), are allowed a max of 2 keeps for each player. The number in brackets is the number of keeps I have left:
G, A, +/-, PIMs, PPG, PPA and Shots.
C - Larkin, Couturier, Kopitar, Cirelli
LW - OV, Panarin (1), Schenn (C), Ehlers (RW), Kreider
RW - Kucherov (0), Seguin (C), Palmieri, Voracek, Yamamoto
D - Yandle, DeAngelo
W, GAA, SV% and Saves.
G - Rask, Varlamov, Hart, Mrazek
IR+ - Tarasenko
