Re: His Hischier for my Grzlecyk +

No offense, but a 14 team, start 6D isn't that bad. Im in a couple 24 team, start 6D leagues and we survive so I am not sure how your league struggles to roster D. That's another discussion for another time.
Personally, I think I'd keep Grizz and Trocheck here. I think Trocheck bounces back this year. Few do well after a trade going to a new team and a new system out of the hop. I like Trocheck to be healthy this year and settled into a solid situation in Carolina. Dont get me wrong, I love Hischier but I dont see the benefit of taking on more cap here.
I'd pass on the offer.
We work with salary.
So Hischier is 7M this year, will be 7.5M next year, etc.
My cap situation is OK. I can manage Hischier. I think he's an improvement on Trocheck this year, but also 2-3-4 years down the line which is where I want to compete.
As for why we struggle with rostering relevant D? It's points-only! A couple of the leagues that you talk about are multi-cat, which means some guys have a decent cap hit, provide little points, but provide great perephirals.
Not us.
A guy that hits and blocks but can't put up points, at 6M, is not 'worth rostering'.
Thanks for your input on Hischier! Will ponder a bit more I guess!
