    Question Rust for Buchnevich

    Idea of this trade offer came from my assesment of forward trade targets thread.

    I asked Buchnevich owner if he is willing to trade him, and he agrees to make a swap for my Rust.

    Initially I thought Rust is way above the Buchnevich, a different Tier, after some consideration and checking the stats I think he is only a little better

    Back in the season, I would not consider this trade, but now:
    - Rust was overproducing little some weeks ago and now he is in moderate cool down mode, so this is kind of delayed sell high spot
    - Buchnevich on the other side, is producing OK
    - ROS schedule: Penguins have a 3 games less and way stronger opponents than Blues, regarding the Schedule Planner.
    - team form: Penguins are slumping, cant score, Blues are rolling.

    Would you make this move? Or it is too thin / crazy / risky?

    What about Rust for Hintz ? Stars have light schedule aswell and more games left.

    Should I rather focus to fix/trade different parts of my roster (3 goalies dilemma or 3 centers dilemma) ?

    My current roster

    C - Crosby, Scheifele, Eichel ( I had to get rid of one)
    LW - Hall, RNH (+C, Out 2-3 weeks, will be dropped/traded)
    RW - Zuccarello, E.Lindholm (+C)
    LW,RW Rust
    D - Hedman, Krug, D.Toews, Spurgeon, Andersson
    G - Hellebuyck, Oettinger, Husso
    IR - Dumba (more like DTD)
    IR+ DeAngelo (Out - 1 month (back to fantasy playoffs hopefully)
    League: H2H, 1 year, 12 teams, no keepers, 5 FA pick-ups / week, unlimited trades.
    Categories: G, A, P, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, Hits, Blocks, Wins, SV%, SHO
    Positions: 2xC, 2xLW, 2xRW, 4xD, 2xG, 4xBN, IR, IR+

    Drop Batherson or other skater to stream into playoffs?

    Rust: Five points in four games, 12 in his last 10 and 33 in his last 21. Sure, he "cooled off", but he's still more than a point-per-game in whichever timeframe you want to use. He's playing with Crosby and is getting power-play time. His per-game stats for power-play points, points and shots are better than Buchnevich.

    In the Penguins last five games, he is second on the team in points (behind Malkin and ahead of everyone else).

    I think you stick with Rust.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
