The above trade has been offered to me(I own Gaborik). I wanted to hear people's thoughts on this trade. I also would like to hear opinions on what other players I could possibly go for in a trade for Gaborik at this point. Pretty new to fantasy hockey. 1 Year League.

Thanks anyways, just traded him for Kessel....

Hope it works out for you! Not sure I'd have done it. The upside for you is that Marian rarely plays more than half a season before he breaks a nail and sets up a bunk bed in the training room.

To me that was a no-brainer... I'd give Kessel a slight point advantage, Gaborik a +/- adv, even PIM, even PPP, Kessel a big adv in SOG, and even FW.

That leads to a fairly obviousy advantage for Kessel, but that's my opinion :)

I think it was a good move. Gaborick is in a rut with only 3 points in his last 9 games and think that Kessel will out score him the rest of the way.
