Living on the edge.

I treat my phone like a piece of garbage and have to plug it in before I go to bed.

It all depends on what Gus would sign for, but I'd rather keep him and move Murph, all else being equal (it isn't).

Murphy is starting to look redundant on this roster, Gus is the opposite.

Where is everyone at on this now?

Still leaning on "Trade both" but it depends:

If Gus stops being a 13th FWD it ups his stock bigtime, and that would edge towards keep. On the flipside he could command a chunk of salary because of his O game, but if he could put it all together he would be a great asset, but as he was last year? he's still on the side of a luxury in my opinion. Time will tell.

Murph, with the additions of Maata and DeHaan is becoming redundant as well, but he is a bit less expensive. Technically all three may be redundant if/when the youth hit which is where I stand. If Joker, Boqvist, Beaudin, or Mitchell prove as-good there will be a timeframe when they are cheaper, and thus they all might be moved.

Time will tell, though, but I think this season we see both Murph and Gus a lot.

Redundant in the sense that we now have more D that play good defense.

The other d we have are more similar to Murphy's abilities than Gus. I think that's just a fact at this point. Weather or not that is grounds to move him is another question.
