    Lightbulb my Eichel for Hertl and other options

    Other GM agrees to swap his Hertl for my Eichel in our in 1-year league, no keepers. I am shorter on C and LW (Hert's positions).

    I have 3 pure centers (Crosby, Scheifele and Eichel). I posted a thread about selling one of them. They will overlap less than 1 game per week until ROS, so that's a not big issue.

    But I am losing faith for Vegas. They are freefalling. Everybody including #1 goalie and top guys are injured. Other goalies not good.
    And Vegas has lowest games left ROS (20). for our fantasy playoffs it's just 11 games (2,3,6). 1st week of playoffs only 2 - the most crucial.

    Sharks have 23 games ROS and 14 games in our playoffs (3,4,7) . But they are almost out of playoff race.
    Hertl could be also tradedm even they want him signed. His stats are OK, he is not overproducing. He's currently in contract negotiations. How this affects his play?

    I tried to trade Eichel for Hintz, Robertson, Tarasenko, Point, Svechnikov and got rejected for all.

    Our trade deadline is 23rd march 2022 (in 1 week).I am 6/12 with 8 teams going to playoffs, I play next week with strong opponent (#2) and last week with #7. So playoffs are not guaranteed for me yet.


    Options

    #1 Should I pull this trigger? My Eichel for Hertl ?

    #2 Or keep him
    1 week more (4 games Vegas) and then maybe straight drop him?

    #3 Try 2for2 trade
    As I am interested in Kyrou from other GM's roster, as Blues have a superb playoff schedule (4.4.6) and 4 games before playoffs.

    #4 Try 3for2 trade
    I have 2 value players just coming from IR - DeAngelo and Batherson. I will need to create a roster space for them or sell them.

    My current roster


    C - Crosby, Scheifele, Eichel
    RW - Zuccarello, E.Lindholm (+C)
    LW,RW Rust, Ehlers, Nyquist (streamer)
    D - Hedman, Krug, D.Toews, Andersson, Barrie
    G - Hellebuyck, Oettinger, Husso
    IR - Batherson (could be back end of week)
    IR+ DeAngelo (could be back tomorrow)

    Other GM's roster:

    C - Barkov, ROR
    RW - Pastrnak, Pavelski (+C)
    LW,RW - Nichushkin, Keller, Kyrou (+C)
    LW - Hertl (+C)
    D - Chabot, Klingberg, Dobson, Pionk, Fowler, Pulock
    G - Kuemper, Saros
    IR - M.Stone
    League: H2H, 1 year, 12 teams, no keepers, 5 FA pick-ups / week, unlimited trades.

    In a 1 year league, I can see Hertl outproducing Eichel.

    thanks a lot. Any other thoughts anybody?

    Btw, Hertl just signed 8 years contract (8x8M). This should make him focused on his play ROS.

    I have an another offer to trade Eichel for Buchnevich . Do anybody see Buchnevich > Hertl this year ?

    Just for the record: Buchnevich owner pulled out, so I traded Eichel for Hertl.
    I am not super happy about that. I was frustrated with Vegas performance and injuries.

    In a 1 year league, Eichel isn’t getting his groove back before the fantasy season ends. I think it’s a somewhat lateral lobe, but Hertl could very well out produce Eichel this year.
