    Default EDITED:Return of E.Kane and J.Norris - Trade offer or Who to drop? Will REP.

    Hello again everyone. As the title says the return of Kane and Norris seem to be coming fast (potentially even today for Kane). Now I’m stuck trying to decide who to drop. It’s the H2H league in my signature.

    I feel Backstrom is the only clear drop for me as I have McD and Zibby as pure C’s already and with Norris back would give me 3 as well as Benn and Rodrigues with C eligibility.

    The other options I’d be looking at are…
    Teravainen(LW/RW), Mangiapane(LW/RW), or Rodrigues(C/LW/RW).

    Who would be your two drops and why? Or would you rather keep what you have and drop one while letting Norris hit waivers as there are always solid C’s available. Current FA’s Couture, Backlund, Hayes, Laughton, Gourde, Krejci, etc.

    EDIT: OR OPTION 3 I was offered a trade by a buddy (who knows I am a Leafs fan) and he threw at me my Zibby/Fleury for his Matthews. Which would allow me to bring Norris off IR.

    As always thanks for all input/opinions and I will rep where and when I can!

    I'm definitely dropping Backstrom to get Kane back in the line up. Then it gets tough, but whether this is a one year or a keeper league is a decisive factor for me. So, is it a one year or a keeper, maybe include that info in you sig.

    Being a 1 year league I'm sticking with what I have and dropping Norris. I like what you already have, and I like some of the FA's available, that combination of options makes Norris the odd man out for me. I'd have to really look it over, but it's likely a different story in a keeper.

    Obviously keeping Kane and dropping Backstrom for sure.

    I would keep Norris too, as his upside is pretty sweet and he is much better than Turbo or Mangiapane in my opinion. If you really need to hold the wingers, ok, but both would appear to be waiver wire fodder this season.

    Thats a good point as I grabbed Turbo as a FA and Mangiapane was a throw in during a trade. The top 6 in Ottawa is pretty deadly so could be a lot of upside for Norris.

    Bubba what if I could keep all of them? haha I have been offered Matthews for my Fleury/Zibby, thoughts? I am a Leafs fan so am tempted but so far this season he and Zib's stats are quite similar and currently ranked closely but with it being a 14-team league goalies are hard to come by. AM34 does bring some upside and the potential to bury goals in a hurry down the stretch.

    I am taking Matthews here for sure. Fleury likely not even the starter in Minny anymore. The potential for Matthews to light the lamp at an amazing rate from here on out is too much to pass up.

    That is just My2Sense.
