Trade strategies - my Ekholm for his Mittelstadt
Hello all,
League in signature (points only, keeper league). I'm in a rebuild and I want to manage accordingly. I have 2 mindset:
- Trade non-keepers for futur assets and potential keeper.
- Cautious approach with trades and try to remain competitive
I'm already kicking myself for burning a FA on Krebs. Amazing kid but should have waited a little bit. I don't want to still be stuck with a bunch on "maybe's" and still have weird decisions to make when keeper time comes.
So here's the offer I received:
My Ekholm and 8th round for his Mittelstadt and a 4th.
- Ekholm is definitely not a keeper, but trading him will affect my flexibility having no backup D this year... and I don't want to burn my last FA on another non-keeper D
- OR
- Eventhough Mitt is in buffalo, it's still a potential breakout and keeper. Considering my rebuild... don't hesitate.
Would you do it? What would be your strategy for this year.
Thx!
