    Default Tavares + for Letang +

    I got offered this today:

    My: Tavares & Crawford

    For

    His: Letang, Zetterberg, Luongo


    I would have to drop Stepan.

    I think this is a BS trade offer but I may not be giving enough credit to Letang and over valuing my assets here.

    What do you guys think?

    Nope. Given you have to drop Stepan, the trade really is Tavares, Stepan, and Crawford for Letang, Zetterberg, Luongo. Pass please.

    I'd easily take Tavares/Crawford.

    1) Tavares is the best player, period.
    2) Crawford and Luongo could be a toss up, but Corey is younger and has the better team.
    3) You drop Stepan to make the deal. No thanks!
    4) The deal would quickly age your team.

    It's not BS, but it is a "No Thanks".

    Luongo is a top 10 goalie again, but with your league setup so is Crawford. Letang is a great player to have but in my opinion:

    Tavares/Stepan >> Letang/Zetterberg

    14 Team, Keep14 Farm5, 82GP Cap/Position
    Skaters: Points only, Goalies 2ptWin/3ptSO
    Start: 4C,4LW,4RW,6D,2G
    C- Crosby, Zibanejad, Couturier, Zacha, Frost
    LW- Marchand, Huberdeau, McTavish, Rackell, Kuzmenko
    RW- Konecny, Necas, Caufield, Jarvis, Lafreniere
    D- Hughes, Carlson, Werenski, Chychrun, Andersson, Dobson, Weegar
    G- Andersen, Merzlikins, Daccord, Jones
    Farm- Johnston, Foerster, Tarasov, Hutson, Reinbacher

    Not for me either. Giving away best player in the deal, and Crawford showed that he's no slouch in the playoffs + plays for a stud team + invited to Olympic camp. He's in for a good year. Zets only has a few left in him, and Stepan is going to be a dandy.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    Not a BS offer but stand pat with Tavares, he is only getting better. Crawford and Luongo are close enough in value in your setup that there is no incentive there. Letang and Zetterberg for Stepan and Tavares isnt horrible but I would much rather have an elite fwd than an elite Dman, mopstly because Dmen scoring fluctuates so much from year to year. Also, Letang has had numerous injury issues over the last few seasons and that would make me wary.

    Just curious, how many F & D do you count/start?

    With a defenseman in the mix, it's not apples-to-apples.
    In a league with a lot of D counting, Letang could be very valuable.

    Say a 9F/6D league. I would probably sacrifice the 10-15pt downgrade from Tavares-to-Zetterberg to get a 20pt upgrade of Letang-over-drafted defenseman.

    It is a 3-for-3 trade... but the 3rd isn't necessarily a forward (Stepan)... it should be more equated to a defenseman (???).

    [BTW... I realize it says "no positions"... but based on the allocation in SIG... and Tyutin... I'm assuming it's "no forward positions". A bit confusing.]

    Hi Pengwin,

    Yeah sorry you are absolutely right. I should clarify my Sig. It's no positional forward requirements.

    It's a weekly start - start 6 forwards, 4 defencemen, 2 goalies.

    Points only.

    The more i think about the trade the more i don't mind it - I would still have an extremely hard time giving up Tavares.

    The reason Stepan would have to be his drop is because it is a keep 6 and he hasn't had his keeper deadline yet. His 6 keepers as listed are:

    John Tavares, Marty St. Louis, Jason Spezza, Jamie Benn, Derek Stepan, Corey Crawford

    and after the trade he would be at

    Henrik Zetterberg, Martin St. Louis, Jason Spezza, Jamie Benn, Derek Stepan, Kris Letang, Roberto Luongo

    which is 7 players. So the logical drop is Stepan which makes it a 3 for 3 with Stepan as the third. Not worth it.
