    Dynasty, Multi-cat, Cap League using AAV

    Do you prefer Kyle Connor or Kevin Fiala?

    I prefer Connor because I think he's safer despite Fiala likely remaining cheaper and slightly ahead in Hits and PIMs, but I'm unsure of the gap. I know some are quite high on Fiala.

    Thoughts?

    Another Connor vote. But I will say that if cap space needs to be saved to retain another important piece, the drop from Connor to Fiala (assuming a cap hit around 6) is not really that much.

    Fiala + important piece > Connor + scrambling for replacement piece.

    All part of balancing a salary cap. Good luck!

    I haven't given all of the detail about the league or the trade because I know several GMs in the league read this forum. Giving up Connor in the swap could help me acquire an important piece from the deal, however I don't think the other GM is offering enough value for the difference.

    I was hoping to get a feel for what level of player or prospect would need to be added to Fiala to balance the trade.

    Even if Fiala plays with Kirill, this is easy as one can get. Connor all the way every day, seven days a week and twice on Sunday! All aboard the Connor express, it's heading all the way to kick arse town! CHOO CHOO!

    I'm still waiting to see Fiala do what Connor has already done for the last two years.

    They're the same age. Logic would tell me, if Fiala has upside... shouldn't Connor too?
