    Default Zajac for Atkinson

    20 team Dynasty league, I'm heavy at center (Malkin and Stastny, are my top 2), very thin on RW (Oshie and Versteeg, when not on IR, are my top 2) and I'm not competing this year.

    Could perhaps move Zajac for Atkinson and a 4th (around 90th OA)

    Zajac's had a rough year, but you have to think with his position and the wingers at his disposal he'll snap out of it. Should I go for this or wait and hope he snaps out of it?

    I think I'd go for it. Pretty high on Atkinson, and extremely disappointed with Zajac's current production. To me you get help in a position you are weaker in, as well as getting a guy with higher potential in RW Atkinson. The pick doesn't hurt matters either, just provides extra incentive to make the trade.

    If you really need help at RW, it's not a bad idea. However with that said, I still think Atkinson is still a big boom or bust risk.

    Thanks for the replies, I added my roster to my signature for a better view. My RW depth is pretty bleak and I only have Connolly as a legit RW prospect.

    Normally I would think your crazy for asking this but I dont know any more. Zajac sucks from a fantasy perspective at least. I own both and today feet to fire I think I might drop Zajac if I was forced to drop 1

    I'd make the move to acquire Atkinson. Zajac seems to need Parise to produce and that's obviously not an option anymore and you've got more good Cs than RWs.

    Thanks for the input guys, turns out the Zajac deal didn't go anywhere, but he's interested in Josi. He's not someone I want to move, but D is my best depth.

    A deal like Josi and Komarov for Atkinson and possibly a 4th again, might be something he'd go for. What do you guys think about that scenario?

    I'd easily take Atkinson over Zajac.
