so if Kreider is available and you don't want Malkin, how would you pick Lindblom ahead of Kreider?

What are you even talking about Mik? He had cancer :lol: I mean we are literally just coming up on 1 full calendar year since his last round of chemo and played a full condensed season.

Bc I would easily pick Lindblom ahead of Kreider if I'm building a team. It's cool though. People tried to tell me Couturier would never amount to anything more than a 4th line pk specialist either.

I never said I'd pick Lindblom that was Will. I've just been saying that Malkin isn't some slam dunk pick.

I view things different than other GMs being all in on contending and up against the cap. If Casper offered me Malkin for a 2nd I'd turn it down, I can't fit that cap hit and I'd have to trade multiple productive players on good contracts to make it work and my team would likely be worse. Would I like him for a 2nd to then flip him for a 1st? Sure but I'm not confident I could pull that off, I struggled to get a 1st for Hall last offseason.

I also wouldn't take Josi if you offered him to me for a 2nd. Malkin and Josi aren't bad players they just don't fit into a salary structure of a competitive team unless they are surrounded by elite talent on ELCs so if a team like KapG's hit on a bunch of prospects then 100% adding stars on huge contracts should be his goal as they would be cheaper to acquire. You have a revolving door of cheap talent with all the prospects and picks you acquire so you can fit in a Josi, but I don't have that luxury.

I wouldn't give up on Lindblom just because he had a down year and given what his last 18-24 months have been like. I think from a fantasy-perspective the Colorado exposed list offered several more enticing options. Krieder signed a very digestible contract. If signed for $7 or 8 million, no way would I have drafted him. I think he's still a solid value.

Malkin doesn't offer a lot of long-term value. Maybe you draft him in this format if you want to compete now. Otherwise, you probably shouldn't take on players who are in their mid-30s and don't have a lot of "resale value".

like anyone else who had cancer, unfortunately he is at risk of the disease to come back, especially during the first 5 yrs I believe.

The other thing I'm talking about is since coming back he hasn't looked like the same player, to the point he has been a healthy scratch multiple times.
