Trade Logan Thompson?

[coffee]

So I'm middle of the pack in my league, with the biggest problems currently being assists, PIMs and +/-. I was offered Bunting for Logan Thompson.

The offer seems a little light given how good Thompson has been, but I also have Demko and Hellebuyck. Curious to get some thoughts on whether I should even consider something like this - I don't even know who I could start Bunting over now that Svech is back and healthy. I should probably target a Center given how bad Zegras has been (and Thomas to a lesser extent).

Since you are starting 2G you probably want at least 3 goalies on roster. But if you decide to move Thompson, Bunting simply is not enough imo.

I stand corrected - the offer was actually his Bunting and Eriksson-Ek for my Logan Thompson. It's a bit of a bitter pill since I dropped Eriksson-Ek for Sam Reinhart early, and now I seem to be very weak at C. Still not sure it's enough though as Bunting may help in PIMs but not great in points. For context, centers on waivers include Zacha, Beniers, Evan Rodrigues and Tommy Novak.

The Eriksson Ek drop was quite ill advised. The other GM is probably correctly anticipating a reduced role for Bunting now that Svechnikov is back. This is not enough for Thompson. I like getting Eriksson Ek back but you need more for a solid value goalie.

To me Thompson is type of goalie atm where getting two players back will not give you much quality. I think I would want one solid young skater back..Zegras, Caufield, svechnikov… something along these lines.

But again, in H2H start 2G, I want 3 solid options

I'd keep Thompson, you have maybe the best back up goalie in the league and maybe he works into the 1A

Just because you have 2 solid other goalies, don’t sell short on Thompson’s value. Make sure you’re getting an appropriate return based on his value (none of the deals so far hit that mark).
