Considering those stats, I'd assume Suter is an absolute rock in your league. I wouldn't do it.
12 team H2H Dynasty, a GM has offered me the following:
His Jamie Benn (C)
For my Ryan Suter (D), F. Forsberg (LW, NSH), N. Jensen (RW, Van), Ray Whitney (LW)
Scoring cats for skaters are: G, A, PIM, FOW, ATOI, SOG, Hits, BLKs, STP, Dpts
My team:
C: Backes, J. Staal, Fisher, Hanzal, Weiss, Laich (C/LW), Eakin
LW: Hartnell, JVR (C/LW), Lupul (LW/RW), Kovalchuk (LW/RW), Ray Whitney
RW: Iginla, Doan, Ryan (LW/RW), Clarkson, Umberger (LW/RW), Booth (LW/RW), Dorsett
D: Suter, Edler, Kronwall, Enstrom, Beauchemin, Pitkanen, Streit, Hamilton, Souray, Despres
G: Lundquist, Quick, Hiller
Farm: F. Forsberg, N. Jensen (Van), Ty Rattie, M. Barberio, JT Miller, S. Glennie
(30 man rosters, will need to cut 2 players before prospect draft)

Jensen is completely meh in a 12 team league and Whitney has got to be ready for retirement soon so it's basically Suter and Forsberg for Benn. It's not a bad trade as I'd rank Benn over Suter but it really comes down to what you think of Forsberg and what your positional needs are. If there was a way to pull this off without Forsberg I might support it but as it stands I dont' see why you'd want to add that much to Suter
well, i would be all over this deal. suter is a good defenceman, but nothing special - regardless of the categories. you have a good set of d-men, with a few at suter's level already... but benn could step in and be your best, or at least top 2, forward. easy accept for me.
Thanks for the input! Any other dobberites want to weigh in and cast their vote?
EDIT: Deal was altered to this:
His: Benn + 14th prospect pick
for my: Suter + Forsberg + Jensen (Van) + Whitney + 36th prospect pick
PS: Whitney is a non-factor, as I may have to drop him anyway.

Yep, I'd take that deal!
10 Team, Points Only, Cash League
25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt
Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink
G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

I like that deal considerably more. 14th pick almost replaces Forsberg
If ATOI wasn't a category... it would be Benn, easily, for me.
You are actually pretty deep at center, and if next year opens with fantasy websites listing Backes & Benn as C-only... you may be forced to bench/drop some decent value players at your C slot. (lost value).
It's a tough one, I'd say this is really close.
I don't see a lot of vaue in the Forsberg/Jensen part... there is some small value in Whitney.
Because of the ATOI category... I think I'd tell you to stay with Suter.
Mercy... that ATOI really effs with me... been a long time since I've seen that cat and had to consider it in player-value.
It's pretty significant with Suter... Minnesota has crap defense beyond Suter-Brodin and it's a virtual lock that he'll be top 10 in that category for the foreseeable future.
Keep Suter & company.
