    Default Malkin for Crosby

    I'm currently in first place in my (regular season only) keeper league with a nice margin. Unfortunately the lost Crosby has made me question if I should trade him to ensure I get the title. I therefore put Crosby as available and quickly got an offer for a straight one for one trade by the Malkin owner, who is out of competition. For some reason, I am hesitant to make this deal, which is probably stupid right since Malkin is just has good as Crosby. What would you guys do? My league scoring is as follows: G:2; A:1; +/-:1; PIM:0.25; PPP:2; & SHP:3; Not the league in my signature.

    If you really want to win then you might have to take the deal. I expect Crosby to be back just before playoffs but that might already be well into your league playoffs already. It doesn't get any better than Malkin or Stamkos for Crosby so it's a fair shake.

    trading crosby away with ~11 games left in the season...
    crosby showed you this year, what we've been missing the last two. He's absolutely insane and he's only 25.
    nobody can predict that his jaw would be broken by a puck
    your call, i wouldn't do it. or maybe see if there's anything else you can do to trade for other help.

    If you want to win it this year, acquiring Malkin is a must because he goes ape s*** everytime Crosby is out.

    If I were in your shoes, I'd keep Crosby unless he sends you Malkin + simply because Crosby is that much better than Malkin. Secondly, you'd need Malkin + to increase the odds of you winning this year and beyond to make up for shipping Crosby.

    If you're on the cusp of a championship and you have a ver good shot to win it, I would counter with Malkin+.

    I also think Malkin will go apeshit with Crosby out.

    wow, though choice. I would also ask for Malkin + but would probably settle for Malkin if you really want to win this year.

    Huh, before this season started, it would have been Crosby+ for Malkin. Now it's Malkin+ for Crosby. Let's face it, it will go back and forth between those two as they take turns getting injured.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
