Kuzmenko or prospects?

[BCFelony]

Team in sig.
I get 1 free agent add per year, top available are Kuzmenko, Kubalik, Ullmark, Guhle.

Would you drop Newhook, Pelletier, Lysell, or someone else for any of the names above?

I'm currently sitting 5th of 14 and very unlikely to win. Team in first has McDavid, draisaitl, eichel, etc.

Thank you for any advice!

I think I’d drop Lysell for Kuzmenko.

i would be dropping Pelletier, but im not sure Kuzmenko is the add...could be Kubalik...either way both of Ks are much more valuable than either prospect...

[bbfl1987]

I’m still not sold Kubalik is a point per game guy. If it was just for this year, I’d probably have gone with Kubalik, but beyond this year I’m not sure he’s the guy.

I'm not sold on kibalik being a ppg guy but im starting to see 70 as a realistic expectation.

I'd keep lysell personally- no big analytical dive just a gut feeling. I think he's a rare player with superstar upside- it might be slim but its there and that has value.

I'd agree about dropping pelletier. I know he's top twn in scoring im the ahl but he's on a very strong team and he just doesn't have the same upside im him at this point imho anyways.

For this year its tough. I know kubalik has more points on the season but those don't count lol! Going forward kuzmenko seems to have turned a corner- he's really buzzing right now. I think natural regression combined with less opportunity for vrana when he comes back mean id actually take kuzy but its close.

CN you add both? We haven't even talked about swayman lol! Ullmark is injured i expect hes about to gain a ton of perceived value all of a sudden- call it a hunch. I only see one goalie in your sig thi. If you can add him to Jerry I'd find a way to do that first and foremost. Then I'd try and add kuzmenko...

Thank you all for the replies!

I can only add 1 guy in-season. Swayman is taken.

Lysell, Pelletier, and Newhook are my last 3 first round picks, so I really needed a consensus to convince me who I should drop and not look back.

Vrana makes sense as well.

I will pitch something different.

Make Perunovich your drop. 3rd straight season he is inured for a lengthy time, 24 yrs old. The 3 young guys you mentioned are playing this season either in the NHL or AHL and contributing to their teams. Scott's at home rehabbing for the next 6 months and then will be re-evaluated.

So drop I am injured and doing nothing for Kuzmenko

Oh man I'm a big vrana fan but we have no idea whats going on with him. I suspect it may be drug/alcohol related and if it is thats a really funny issue. Some guys like leaner (God bless him) kick it and pick up that recovery mantle but its not that easy for everybody. He was already erratic outside of whatever the off ice issue is.

Hes got the biggest boom production I think- certainly more than kubalik. I think kuzmenko is the better own cause he will have more trade value and hes producing at a great clip right now. I'd say vtana has a tad more goal scoring upside but even thats hard to say as kuzy might end up better than we have him pegged. I think for example he's a 65 point ayer most years but if he comes in and plants his flag at 80 points in year one I definitely need to rethink that...
