    Default Marleau for Wheeler - thoughts?

    Points only league. Keep 11. My Wheeler for his Marleau.

    I need some added "umph" in LW and he needs some added muscle on his RW. Wheeler was one of my 11 protected from last year, and I hate to lose him. Does Marleau keep us this trend? My roster is found below. A Marleau/Gaborik is a nice one-two on LW. We dress two RW and two LW each week. I have Doan and Oshie alongside Ebs on RW now, so I have some depth.

    Would you do it?? rep for thoughts.

    I'd do it but it might be difficult considering how hot Marleau is right now. You might have to throw something in to sweeten it for the other guy to bite all the way. Marleau has always been the primary shooter on SJ and looks like the long break has recharged his and Thornton's batteries.

    As of right now I dont see the other GM going for this deal. You will have to sweeten the pot IMO. Marleau is a big upgrade on Wheeler.

    I think in this shorten season that he will have a good season, not 2 goals per game, but he should easily end up over 40 points IMO.

    If you can manage that trade I would do it.
    Weekly H2H points only (Year 9 - 2015-16)
    12 teams limited keeper (keep 6 + 1 Rookie)
    13 round draft - Unlimited Trades - No Waivers - No IR
    4 Team Playoffs (last 2 reg. season weeks)
    Rookies are 23 years old or younger in the draft year and never reached 60pts (forward), 40pts (defense), 25 wins (goalie)


    Start : C RW LW Utility D D G
    Points : A - G = 1 pt W = 2 pts SO = 1pt

    C - S.Stamkos, J.Thornton, K.Turris, D.Stepan
    LW - O.Palat, B.Saad, A.Burakovsky
    RW - B.Wheeler, T.Toffoli, C.Atkinson
    D - E.Karlsson, S.Gostisbehere, C.Fowler, A.Ekblad, A.Larsson
    G - C.Hellebuyck, D.Dubnyk, A.Niemi, K.Lehtonen

    That is the deal right now in principle. We talked about it over lunch

    We are also considering waiver picks in there and possibly a goalie swap.

    But yeah, Marleau for Wheels straight up.

    Great deal for you. With how hot Marleau is right now, it amazes me you were able to get him for Wheeler. Even if Marleau came out of the gate struggling I wouldn't move him out for Wheeler.

    Rep button is being stingy tonight, I'll get some out at a later date. Marleau is in the lineup for this week. With Lando out, this was a great pickup for me!
