Would you do this trade?
 

Give:

Ribeiro
Elias
Clowe

Receive:

Neal
Pavelski
(Pick up Brunner/Turris/Stepan/Henrique/Hanzal)

Thanks

If you can get them to accept, it is a steal. Neal is by far the best player in the deal with your league's settings. Pavelski won't keep up this pace but should replace Elias/Ribeiro pretty seemlessly even if Elias repeats last year's, given the edge little Joe has with SOG and BLKS. In an 8 team league, Clowe should be pretty replaceable off the WW. Win, win, win to me.

EDIT: Didn't see that your league does FOW at first. This makes it a bit more even, but I still like the deal with regards to what you gain in G, SOG, hits, and BLKS

yeah i'd be all over that

Yeah my thoughts is points may be a wash, Ribeiro is doing well at Washington and Elias is playing well with Clarkson. However, I think down the stretch worst case points wise they will be even. Best case I would come out on top. Pretty much sell high buy low almost haha.

The main reason I'm thinking of doing this is because of the peripherals. It may seem that I would lose in FW but because Ribeiro is a straight Center, I would use the extra position to pick up someone like Turris and that would actually gain me FW as well. Clowe is actually a throw in as I don't think I really need him. When Hartnell comes back it'll be even better :P

EDIT: Also, may be risky but I have Malkin and Marleau so if it works I would have Neal-Malkin and Pavelski-Marleau combo. Would be fun.. haha

Yikes that's a fleecing lmao. And I'd pick up Brunner, who has looked great with Zetterberg

Brunner would be fun. I would have the whole Zetterberg-Franzen-Brunner line
