Neal for RNH?
If you owned Neal, would you do it?

if it is for the league in your sig. with no positions and points only then i wouldn't think twice about moving neal for rnh...
It is for the league in my sig.
The guy really likes RNH so I'm going to have to pay. The deal we're talking about is Neal, Yandle, +my 5th pick for RNH.
This looks like an overpayment on paper but this is predraft and Yandle isn't a keeper for me (don't think). So it's really Neal+5th. Also Yandle is undervalued in my league so nobody else wants him.
Still do it?

Really? His elite production ala last season is very dependant on his line-mates. The Nuge will be a superstar centreman in the league regardless of who he plays with....has a MUCH higher ceiling IMO.Originally Posted by DerekReese

I'm assuming it's for the team in your sig - no C or W positions, just F. I would absolutely go for RNH.

There's a lot of people on these boards who think Neal had a "stars aligning" season last year, but I personally don't think we've seen his best yet, he was playing on a bum ankle at the end of the season (and was shut down after he scored his 40th goal until the playoffs). He is still young and I really think his production playing with Sid (when that eventually happens) will be even better than playing with Geno.. If you think you can compete this year (by the looks of your roster I think you can) then I wouldn't do this deal because I think it hurts your team this season..
Long term and with your particular league set up I think RNH is the better own, but fantasy hockey is about winning and not just having the "sexy" names.. I think you would be hurting the team you ice for this season if you did this trade.

Points only Neal and a 5th for Nuge I wouldnt do, just keep Neal and prosper. I love RNH but as far as i see it Yandle is a keeper so you have to factor him in which throws the trade totally off the rails.
Look these are all assests and sure long term RNH is probably a better assest and definetly has more trade value but with the team you have, and I think this is the most important point others have not been stressing:
With the team you have you can win here, do not give up an early round draft pick for a potential marginal increase in production.
We know that Neal is playing with Malkin or at "worse??!!" crosby. His production is likely going to better or be damn close to Nuges and he has no stickboy injury concerns going on. I'm a huge Nuge fan but looking at your roster all I care about is winning in this shortened season and I think i want yandle and that 5th rounder more than I want nuge over Neal.
Boils down to RNH vs. Neal.....I prefer RNH, but its close.
well, thats a different story than just neal for rnh
