    Default Miller / Halak swap

    Hi all, league in sig - could use some help. I just learned that Weiss is out for the season and a guy in my pool would be willing to trade Ryan Miller / Andy McDonald for Halak / Weiss. I'm in contention this year so I'm keen to move Weiss and he's very keen to get rid of McDonald. We'll need to figure out salaries (I don't have enough room to make this move currently) - is Miller an upgrade over Halak even in a cap league such that this is a move I should be making?

    One other factor - this league has both regular season and playoffs (as separate pools - same players) - my focus is more the regular season pool, but I suppose STL being more likely to make the playoffs is a factor.

    Hoping there will be some responses soon. Rep for good responses!

    Anyone? Really could use some input. Did I post in the wrong place (maybe in the trade forum would be better)?

    Seeing as how it's a keeper, I'd stay with Halak and Weiss. I think your team stays in contention with Halak over Miller this year, and in the future. Yes, Miller has been picking it up lately but Buffalo's D has not..so for Miller to sustain his recent success he's going to have to play his tail off each night. And with him playing in his 22nd game (out of 24) tonight, I think it's unlikely he keeps it up the rest of the season.


    I get why you'd want to move Weiss, but personally I'd try to shop him elsewhere and for less of a package than Halak.

    Just my thoughts, good luck!
