    Default Trade D for C

    I'm short on C with Toews taking a nose dive this year.
    And I've got Doughty coming off IR soon.
    I've got a manager willing to trade Pionk/Doughty for Josh Norris or Nick Backstrom.
    Norris seems like a good pick up. Top line. good linemates. PP1. fill lots of stats.
    Backstrom could also be solid if he is up to speed and the team keeps flying.
    And Pionk seems like a decent trade as his value is dropping (losing PP time) but his name still garners interest.

    Appreciate opinions, and if I can figure out how to rep, I will.

    Pionk for Backstrom seems like a decent play based on your D depth. Not a slam dunk but if Backstrom plays like he did last year then it's a win

    Alternatively I could grab J Hughes off the waiver and drop Klingberg, who I just scooped off waivers anyway....
    Or Hischier...

    I would be looking at the two Toews as my first 2 potential drops looking at your squad.

    I would say J. Toews is your first drop. I would also Drop D. Toews before I dropped Klingberg. Yes, Klinger has had an abysmal start, but his 3 assists (2 on top PP) last game are likely the beginning of the turn around for him. Klingberg has been the model of consistency for solid production his entire career. It is incredibly unlikely his first bad season will be in a contract year.

    That said, J. Toews has been moved to a line centring Kane, so you might want to see what develops there before dropping Toews outright. The leash should be pretty short here though IMO.

    As well, it is of interest to note Pionk is currently manning the back end of a new look PP 1 unit in Winnipeg during practice today. If they start clicking Pionk could be in the midst of a nice upswing in production.

    Just a couple of things to watch if you are thinking of trading or dropping any of these guys.

    I do think you could use some help at centre.

    I like both Backstrom and Norris. I would also look at targeting Couturier and Trochek as well. They might even be cheaper as they are both in the middle of cold spells. Really depends on their respective GM's.

    Any of these 4 C's would be a helpful addition to your line up. Of the 4 however, I think I would put Backstrom at the bottom of the pile, as he doesn't stuff categories, plus he is just coming off a major surgery. You never know how long it will take for him to get back in game shape and he is no spring chicken anymore....

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the detail.
    Ironically I had a Burns (when he was flying) for Trochek deal with a GM and the league vetoed it. So here I am again.

    The other piece here is I'm am doing fairly well overall, so I can have patience.
    D Toews is on a tear so hard to drop him.
    Seguin and Toews are draining my patience but I also have a hard time dropping.
    Burns is bad again now that Karlsson is back.

    I am definitely fearful of Backstrom given Im' experiencing the slow come back of Seguin and Toews.
    I think I can land Norris for Pionk, but I might wait a little longer. And might try for Couturier.
