ASKL - All-Star Keeper League

I know offensive guys (because there are so many of them) they don't play that much of a role, but for blue liners I think it can be huge. If you can land 25 pointer, that gets 100 PIMs and 100 SOG. He's becomes a 40 point D...

That's a good point, and I would definitely agree. To clarify... I don't completely discount the periphs. I'm just not yet certain how I will factor them into a trade featuring players w/ similar upside. Gonna take some figurin' out, if ya dig.

Your examples definitely lend some perspective which is very helpful, thank you.

That certainly explains Ev's pm informing me that Richards is no longer available.

Wow, Richards is getting tossed all over the place. Absolutely love this trade for the Jersey 18's though.

Thanks dyz.

I do think Spezza is severely undervalued right now though. People seem to like him more than Richards which I think is ridiculous. Spezza has 90+ potential. Richards is a solid player in the 65-80 range but Spezza heated up down the stretch and I think he's going to have a big year. I made the deal as a precursor for others.

Big Ev thought I was playing him all along and that I value Richards more than Spezza haha but I quickly pointed out that I drafted Spezza 18 picks ahead of Richards.

I'm not a big Spezza fan at all. Hasn't came close to 100 points since Heatley left, is a major band-aid boy and suffers from a lot of inconsistency. That's just me though. I'm sure there's people out there that prefer the Spezza side.

[Big Ev]

I don't expect Spezza to hit 100 points ever so I don't know why that is an issue. He has never had 100 points. I'm expecting PPG or less.

I also think Mike Richards is a little d*****bag so I feel happy about not having to cheer for him now lol.

I don't think Spezza's as big of a band-aid as others do, and I think I just traded Richards for Spezza alone because I don't really care about the other pieces right now.

I'm gunning for the upside.

lol...as good a reason as any, if you ask me.
