Dynasty Team Advice - How to transition old core to young upcomers while staying competitive?
Hey All,
The title kind of says it all; how do you start the transition from an aging core to get younger while also staying competitive?
I got lucky by adding Lyon in the finals, and squeaked away the win in the championship match, but I know the writing is on the wall and players like Crosby, Ovi, Perron, etc.
Is the idea to sell these older players while they still have value? Or do you ride them off into the sunset and hope through drafting and the Free Agent pool I can fill the void?
Note, my dynasty doesn't have a minor system, so when draft rolls around, it is typically just the top 1-3 young studs, 3-5 newly projected starting goalies and then any older vet who gets dropped prior to roster freeze.
So any advice one can add, I am all ears.
Cheers!
