    Default Hold out hope for Mete

    Multicat salary keeper league in signature.

    I have i owned Mete in this league since he broke into the NHL. And each year, I have waited for his breakout, and it has not happened yet. Gut feeling tells me to keep him one more year, although to make a run for the championship, he really hurts taking up that roster spot with his lack of production. I also own Byfuglien, so the double whammy per say.

    At what point do you give up on him? I know he is only 21 years old(22 in June), and he is stuck behind in the depth chart, thus reducing his minutes.

    Would you opt for dropping him, and trying to pursue a trade for someone like Dunn or Cernak? Or stream cheap options of 1.0m or less off the WW?

    I have "given up" on prospects in the past such as Simon, only to have it come back to somewhat haunt me.

    Advice?

    He's never going to stuff categories. Even a "breakout" for him would be 30A, 10PPP, 120sog, and minimal hits and blocks.

    Get what you can and let someone else wait on the breakout.

    Umm, he's 21. Not many D break out by that point. That said, I don't think his upside is that great. Most prospects are worth more in fantasy as trade bait anyway.

    Have to agree on the general consensus on upside here, it is limited across most if not all scoring cats. I'd move on if getting a better option is at all possible. He's still young and I may be wrong, but I think Mete equals very average and that after a long wait.

    I'd move on from him, as others said. Having too many prospect D I have found to be an issue in my one super deep dynasty ( not the one in sig).

    The issue with prospect D in multi-cat is the rough categories are more important for D and it's not easy at all to project PIM/hits/blocks. Remember when Ekblad was supposed to be a physical Weber type?

    In my very deep dynasty league I'm subbing in guys like Kurtis MacDermid, Madison Bowey and Dennis Gilbert from my minors to fill categories.

    I do remember that. Ekblad's very useful, but not that level of guy. I do the same with moving guys up & down from minors a lot - I've tended to do better focusing on grabbing cheap young D who are playing that aren't exactly name prospects, with the exception of a Hronek level guy. Limiting myself to no more than 1-2 D draft pick a year has been working, but it's only been a couple years so far.

    That's a huge win for you. I don't think Jarnkrok or Mete ever get close to the level Perron has attained.
