Konceny Value?

[Kawee]

Hey guys so I was just wondering what your thoughts are on Konceny? He’s young on a great contract and having a great season. However, is it a sell high situation or is it more of he has a much higher ceiling and holding on to him is the best course of action? Thanks for the responses in general

[Eskimo Brother]

I think he's breaking out for real. The trajectory, consistency, advanced stats, etc. all check out. He's a 75 point winger.

Depends on the league - appears you are in a salary cap league? Are you looking to move him and trying to understand what players you should target in return? I do not think he is a sell high and really like his style of play. IMO he will continue to improve and we have not sen him at his peak performance yet. He is only 22 (turning 23 shortly) and he is a really important piece of the Flyers future.

[Kawee]

I’m not necessarily trying to move him, but I was just wondering if this year is just a aberration or a sign of things to come

[Tanknation]

Didnt think he'd have a shot as a keeper for me. But AV has warmed on giving him pp1 minutes. Pretty impressed with how he's done. Some philly fans think he can hit 90s

[Kawee]

That would be amazing for me in my cap league, even 80s would be great!

It's a sign of things to come.

Agree this isn't an aberration. Flyers were excited to sign him to 6 x $5.5M and he's delivered.

I've already thinking ahead to my keepers for next year. I'm in a 12-team very limited keeper (4 players) where each keeper costs the draft round they were most recently picked in.

Some guys on my squad that I'm considering include:

Andersen (r3) - an existing keeper I'd have to 'buy out' if I don't want to keep again
Guentzel (r3)
Gallagher (r13) - an existing keeper I'd have to 'buy out' if I don't want to keep again
Connor (r16)
Konecny (r19)
Vrana (r21)

stats are G, A, +/-, PPP, SHP, GWG, PIM, SOG, FOW, HITs, BLKs. Buyouts are 1 every 3 years.

Konecny is great value here, but not sure he makes the cut?

I think he easily makes the cut, I think he's your best keeper. Vrana might be better , but probably not.

What are the buyout rules? I think I buy out Andersen, if it's not too bad, and keep Gallagher on down that list. Surplus value is huge in leagues like this. I'd almost never keep anyone drafted in the top 5 rounds, unless they become a first round draft pick lock.

[Stanley]

Thanks Steve.

No real cost to buyout, just that you can only do it once every 3 years. Keepers last year were Ovie (r1), Andersen (r3), Carlson (r7) and Gallagher (r13). Ovie and Carlson are termed out so I can't keep them any longer and already traded Ovie as a rental to a contender for some pick upgrades. Gallagher has 1 more season, Andersen has 2 more.

I've already been thinking about buying out Andersen and may lean towards your suggestion. Partially depends on how the draft order and everyone else's picks shape up during the summer.

[stevegamer]

I see no reason to buy out Gallagher, and if you can't deal Andersen, he's be buyout worthy.

Another advantage to keeping guys who are very late picks is that even if they don't quite meet what you spent to keep them, they don't really screw up your draft, and have room to bounce back.
