Kopitar for Heiskenen

[seereuben]

I've been offered Kopi for Heiskenen straight up.

I'm starting the season with four straight losses, so a few offers are starting to find me, as I'm a known tinkerer / trade whore.

Either would be keepers for me, and I imagine that they will both regress a little bit, though I do like Heiskenen's outlook if he can slip by Klingberg into PP1. It's likely I'll try to upgrade Kopi if my season continues to go .000.

Team and settings follow.

A Beauvillier
J Dahlen
A DeBrincat
B Horvat
J Marchessault
E Rodrigues
N Roy
V Trocheck
M Bunting
T Jeannot
D Mercer
V Arvidsson
S Pinto

J Carlson
S Gostisbehere
M Heiskanen
J Chychrun

J Binnington
C Talbot

Keep 7, 18-20 GMs, H2H points with the following categories:
G (4.5), A (3), SOG (0.5), Hits (0.25), Blks (0.5), W (2), SO (2), SV (0.25), GA (-1).
8F, 3D, 1G, 5Bench, 2IR

Forward seems to be a real weak spot for you. Trocheck, DeBrincat, ???

I'd be willing to move Heiskanen, but I'd look for a young forward in return.

[seereuben]

Yah, exactly.

I just figure that Kopi is decent, and he's still probably got a year or two more left to give. But you think I can do better?

[stevegamer]

I would think so.

If prefer Heiskanen as a keeper. If you can get a DeBrincat type of player/age, then I would deal Heiskanen based on team needs.

[YzermansLegacy]

Agreed. Hold on that for sure.

Personally, in your situation, I'd be building with Heiskanen as a core piece moving forward. 18-20 team league with an 8/3 split I want a stud Dman (if not 2) in my keeper set.

Instead, I might look at moving Carlson (if you can get a max value kind of return) or Ghost (selling high) off your blueline if you're seeking an upgrade at F.

Unless you're competing now, Kopi isn't the guy to target with a key rebuilding/youth piece imo. Good luck!

Great thoughts, thanks all!
