    Default Do these guys have keeper value?

    League and team details are in my signature.

    I'd like to stream a couple spots for the last few games left in the season.
    Can I drop Bennett and Swayman after tonight?
    Are either of them worth anything next year for points only?
    Do I have any other dead weight that isn't worth a potential bottom sport for next year?
    I'd like to keep as many trade chips as possible.

    I would probably keep Bennett over Toews or Duchene at this point. So yeah, I think there's some value with him.

    So there is some missing information here. Are you in contention for a money spot? Is that a sure thing? If you want to drop the guys you have mentioned to stream (steam who/what?) then you need to be sure that that's the best thing for you in the bigger picture.

    There is little doubt that both Swayman and Bennett currently have value. In a points only Bennett likely has less value but as others have mentioned he may well be an upgrade on Duchene. At the least, what he has done since moving to the Cats has potentially elevated his trade value and he is a definite sell high and I believe you are looking for that. Your goaltending is IMO a bit of a concern with Price aging and Andersen's' future up in the air, and while he's racked up the wins, Freddies other numbers are just not great. If you agree with that, then what Swayman has done this year has got to catch your attention. Further, and this is huge, we'll see what Rask does over the summer, but it has been widely speculated that he may well call it a career. Enter Swayman. Accordingly, I am shopping both Price and Andersen and willing to move one or both for fair value and ride my younger goaltending. A bit risky, it all depends on the return for these guys, but that's the way I would play it. I would also hang on to Bennett and part company with Duchene if you want a "streamer" roster spot. Hope this helps.

    All of this helps.
    Details:
    I'm solid in first by 29 points, but I'm out of GP for all forwards.
    I have a few games left at D and G to stream out.
    Yes, my goalies suck. That's why I ask.
    I'm a Flames fan and I still like Bennett, but 400gp in Cgy doesn't have me convinced that this hot streak is anything more.
    Risto was dropped and I could put in a claim tonight as well.
    But first thing is to do everything possible to win this week.

    I think Swayman is on the Bruins next year, so I'm not dumping him.

    I can see Bennett also being better than Duchene, so if streaming Duchene's spot is enough, then do that. If not, then pick you next worst skater as well, which may be Bennett. I'd gladly say good bye to Duchene.
