Fiala or Meier long term

[Kawee]

In a cap league, with my categories included, who would you rather have long term? Thanks for the replies in advance!

[Axeman33]

Did you post from a cell phone because I don't see your categories included.

[Kawee]

Oh, seems like it has disappeared for some reason. Hmm, i'll fix that. Here are the categories:
Skater Categories:
Goals
Assists
Power Play Points
Penalty Minutes
Faceoff Wins
Shots on Goal
Hits
Blocks

Its tiugh because the cats favor meier but then again it depends on how high you think Fiala can ht in Minny. I think in name value alone Fiala is harder to redraft and would generally net more in a trade so for those reasons Im inclined to keep him. Theyre bith great options...

[Napoleon23]

With those categories and at 6mil for 3 years Meier is a slam dunk keep for me. Especially long term as fiala will likely be making more than 6mil next year if he does well, which is the hope but by no means a guarantee on a lackluster minny squad. And he wont provide you with the same category coverage that Meier can regardless.

I am just wondering, with Beckman, Boldy, Rossi, and Kaprizov coming in very soon will that tip the scales more evenly for Fiala? Meier I think is going to play for a San Jose team who is on the downswing with a weak prospect cupboard, while Fiala's MIN team seems really nice long term. I will try to trade for Meier without giving up Fiala if possible.

They're both awesome options for sure. But with PIMs, hits and shots Timo will be a rare asset that covers everything well. I think the sharks are underrated this year and could surprise. And at least they have a number one center! minny is filled with potential, but theres no category for that. Meier, kane, hertl, couture, Karlsson, burns. They are all proven guys. Injuries severely hindered the sharks last year.

Thanks for your insight Napoleon, I will give an update if I can get Meier without giving up Fiala as I like both a lot.

i would like to see yoru full roster and reason to choose between the 2...there is good chance im keeping both and some one has to go...

if its trade...Timo will check way more boxes but Fiala has a chance to be PPG player soon..hard choice...

i take Timo as safe option and Fiala as home run here

Just posted my team and information in my signature. basically, I have a high rookie pick, and I will be bringing in Byfield so I am trying to move Cirelli for Meier to strengthen my wing positions more instead of moving Fiala.

[Napoleon23]

Yah keep fiala. It would be tough to call it a win if you lose fiala to get Meier. Cirelli is a nice asset too though. If you could work something out with Johansen or Drouin instead I would go that route.

[Kawee]

He said either Hischier or Cirelli so I believe Cirelli is the more expendable of the 2, dealing a center for a winger would help out in my rebuild.

[Belexus75]

yeah i would move either C for Meier before i touch Fiala

[Kawee]

Sounds good! I'll give an update if I can get it done.

Cirelli it is then! I'd do that. Hischier not so much.
