Don't think i will compete this year with Kucherov gone for the year.

Tarasenko is 5.5 this year and 9 million next year. Is he worth holding onto hoping he comes back healthy and either keep or trade to a contender at the end go the year.

My other forwards are
Kucherov
JT
Guentzel
Monahan
Boeser
Hedman
Fox
P Myers
Cole or Boqvist( Blocks and hits are very valuable Cole was a top 20 D in PPG Ave last year)
Vasilevskiy
Hart

If you're not looking to contend this year anyways, I'd say keep him and trade him to a contender when he's set to return.

I wouldn't count yourself out. His cap space will come in handy later in your draft. A big $$ player will slide and you'll be able to scoop.

Who would you keep in place of Tank? Keeping Tank & Kucherov would really hinder your chances.

Minimum salary player so i can use the salary elsewhere just in case there is a player of Tarasenko is available at some point. No one will be there at Tarasenko caliber unless that player is also injured.

I guess it comes down to leave myself more salary to maneuver for the draft and 12 players i need to redraft or bite the bullet and keep him and hope he comes back healthy. Remember its unlike i can compete for the top 3 spots this year with him and Kuch but its a crazy year in which who knows what will happen.

Opinions please.
