Need advice on the future of my team [rep]
Hey guys!
First let me thank all the of you who take the time to reply to my inquiries on the forum, you guys have been really helpful so far.
I am in a bit of a funk for my team for second league in sig. My team has been underwhelming right now with a 5-5 record, 7th in the league (last year, ended in 8th position). I like a lot of the pieces I've acquired since entering the league but I am starting to be lost as to the direction I need to take with my team to win the title. Plus there is tentation to try and get in 9th-12th position since I would compete for the 1st OA lottery while the top 8 battles for the playoffs.
My keepers are in bold and as you can see, a lot of young players are on the bubble, plus I can't just acquire prospects as a reassurance because I am choke full of them hahaha
My questions are:
1- What's my goalie situation right now? Rask is at the top of his game but older, I should keep him if I can contend next year I think, Markstrom should be the starter somewhere (worst case is a plateau with Demko) but you never know, Jarry is hot but uncertain, Shesterkin could be a future star.... Help
2- In relation to #1: which prospects should I keep / trade between Necas Kaprizov Caufield Demko Shesterkin.... Lots of talent and too little room for all of them.
3- Finally, who are my keepers beside the obvious choices? Right now on the bubble I see Meier Ehlers Miller Dumba Hronek. Since they're all in some slump (except for Miller), their trade value is really down so even in a 2v1 scenario I would be trading pennies on the dollar.
Your answers will definitely help me a lot! I'll rep where I can. Thanks!
