Yes, both of those guys are better keeps than Yandle. The only issue is that both of those guys will carry with them a poor plus/minus.
Team and cats in sig.
I'm way over on forward games played.
Looking to move Kreider while his stock Is high. Can't see me keeping Kreider over Hall and Laine at LW.
I can't seem to acquire top end D talent (have games to play at D)
A Kreider for Ghost or Faulk deal?
Worth it short term? (Who should I target)
Can either beat Yandle for my 4th D keeper spot behind Karlsson, OEL and Josi?
Or stand pat and hope My grossly under achieving D turns it around like they should?

Is it mandatory to keep 4 D? If not then I would hold onto Kreider.
Min 4 D keep. Yes.
So I forced to Choose between Hall and Kreider (Laine is now my LW1) or I cash in on one for a D upgrade. Getz and Staal have to move too
But they're not garnering as much interest.
Plus I'm still vying for the championship. So all strategy here.

True. So are They really better keeps then?
Shop the shit out of Kreider before you do a deal for Gost or Faulk. Both of those guys will kill your buzz with the +/- ratings from hell. There must be a better option out there. I might be in the minority but I am not sold on either of those guys being elite fantasy Ds on a consistent basis.
If I'm going risk reward, which you need to IMO to supplant Yandle, then I go Ghost
Experience is the teacher of all things.
What if I added Parayko to the mix?
ROS and long term vs Yandle as a keeper...
Ghost, Faulk or Parayko?
Or stick with Yandle and continue to shop a Kreider that I can't currently use due to max games at LW.

I own Parayko, am very high on him, especially for next year and beyond when Shatty is out of the way. Now is the time to buy CP, before he blows up after the trade deadline or early next season. He would make a very nice 4th D keeper for you.
What do you have to move to get him?

You should get a + if its Kreider. Also, might keep Kreider over Hall to be honest with you. Hall's "name value" might fetch more in a trade. And Hall is a Band-Aid Boy. Hall cant be a better scorer than Kreider in your system. It's not even close in my league, Kreider by a mile.
Hear brother Glatt. Personal fav for me is Hall. Not ready to let go even now that I have my Leaf kids to take me forward.

That said Glatt...Shatty for Hall type deal? Maybe that's more lucrative than Parayko for Kreider?

Just saying I would look to trade Hall for a D first. Edmonton did it. Why cant you? I would like to know where Shatty ranks among D and where he is going before I committed to him in your top 4. Parayko is the inferior player at this time but once Shatty leaves STL, Parayko is going to be a force.
