    Default How crazy am I for not immediately taking this?

    I give:

    D. Backes
    B. Burns

    I get:

    J Tavares
    M Hossa

    I only hesitate because Backes is a stud in my format and although I'm going to struggle with FW every week, Tavares and Hossa should get me the goals I desperately need. Kassian was my novelty last pick for a home team player. Backes' dual position is also valuable. I only question this because Backes plays so well into my team's strength although I should be fine without him I'm thinking, as well as Tavares and Hossa giving me a better shot at G, A, and PPP.
    Thoughts? I could swap Tavares for E Staal as well....

    If you don't accept....your 10000% certifiably CRAZY.

    Just look at where Tavares is going in your draft.....hits or no hits.

    Get Tavares and pick up Matt Martin. Problem solved.

    Haha, I had already taken the deal. No idea why I was questioning myself.

    Now, my D as it stands is pretty weak. Should I try and flip Hossa for a #1D? I was thinking someone like Edler...

    Isnt Burns on the IR right now still recovering from off season surgery? This deal isnt great for your D long term but short term you are no worse off.
