    Default Pick one to trade (worst case I have to drop)

    I've got 5 goalies that are going to be "active" goalies in my dynasty keeper league. We can only have max 4 active goalies on our roster. I'm going to have to trade one (worst case, straight up drop one) before our entry draft in a couple weeks. Who do I drop if it comes down to it? (can ignore cap hit implications for this scenario)

    Grubauer
    Kuemper
    Saros
    Blackwood
    Merzlikins

    Stats are W (3pts), L (-1) SO (3 pts), saves (.12), GA (-.75).

    Full disclosure I am an Avs fan, do with that information what you will!
    Next season I'm in even more trouble as I'll have to worry about Petersen and Vanecek no longer being minors eligible..

    I know that Av fan in you won’t want to hear this, but I would dangle Kuemper immediately to see if the idea of owning a great G when healthy now the #1 of a top 3 team in NHL. Main reason is that Kuemper will be hurt and frustrate and make you need the handcuff. If you need to drop one of these Gs outright, it has to be Merzlikins.

    Kuemper is the guy to deal, as he got the sexy situation upgrade.

    A straight drop is likely not going to be needed, all have use.

    While I agree that Kuemper will net you the biggest trade return, he is arguably the only goalie you own that is on a good team (and he’s on a great one). With your stats that’s super important.

    Saros is probably the best goalie you actually own and may get you a good return too even though Nashville has the potential to take a step back this year.

    Ideally I would move whichever of Blackwood/Elvis brings the best return though. If it comes down to dropping someone Elvis is my choice as Columbus is moving into rebuild territory and The Devils could be closer to competing

    Thanks all. So far I’ve only received interest in Blackwood. But he’s my youngest goalie and the hardest for me to part with as I see NJ being quite good after the short term pain of Berniers two year contract. Good notes about Merzlikins, he may be the one I move.

    I'd recommend keeping your best four, don't get too fancy here and end up outsmarting yourself. Elvis is the drop for me.

    Well, I've traded a goalie. Little to no interest for Merzlikins (best offer was a 4th round pick, in a league with 9 GMs)
    Trade was:

    Monahan
    Grubauer
    2021 9th OA pick

    for

    Panarin (first 2 years of salary retained to equal Monahan's cap hit)
    2021 11th OA pick

    Never pumped about giving up a Canadian kid, but I'm happy I didn't have to dump a goalie for nothing.

    How do you guys think I did?

    I think that's an awesome trade for you. Well done - you got the best player in the deal by far and didn't have to downgrade your pick much at all.

    Anytime you move Monahan (who lost his driver in Gaudreau) and a ? in Grubauer as he's playing for an expansion team for an elite talent like Panarin is a HUGE win!

    That's a great deal.
