My Yakupov for Landeskog

[hydrobomb]

I'm working on a trade for Landeskog. The other owner has asked for Yakupov. I like the trade, but always like a second opinion. Is it worth it or should I hold on to Yakupov? If I keep Yaks, he'll be a keeper. If I get Landeskog, he'll be a keeper.

I think long term Landeskog can't come close to Yakupov in points. I'd rather have Landy this year, but Yak overall

Even with the categories of hits, blocks?

No other opinion? I know in points and PPPs, he'll be better in the long run, but what about with with all the other stats in our pool? Landeskog had some big numbers in shots and hits, and some good numbers in blocks. At the moment, Yakupov has some significantly low numbers in shots, hits and almost no blocks.

Again, just looking for opinions. Thanks for the help.

Well Yakupov is a shooter so he will be fine in that regard, and he had decent hit numbers in Juniors. Landeskog will block a lot more than Yakupov, but Yak can also outscore landy be 15-25 points.

Yakupov is going to be an offensive stud but his value is a little lower in a league like yours with mult-cats. Landeskog wins in +/-, hits, and blocks (although what I've seen from Yakupov is that he doesn't shy away from making a hit).

It depends on how valuable those other stats are. The more well rounded player overall is Landeskog but Yakupov is one of those guys that can be a game changer, and it's always nice to have one of those in your lineup.
