    Default Eller for Atkinson

    Hey guys,

    Just was offered Lars Eller for my Cam Atkinson in my keeper. The keeper expires after the 2014-15 season, so the trade would just be for this year and next. Hot start mixed with a solid finish for Eller, but plenty of depth in MTL versus Atkinson getting a try on the top PP as well as 5 on 5 time with Gabby and Dubi.

    Scoring Settings:
    G-4, A-4, +/- 1, PPP-3, GWG-2

    I'm obviously in a win now mentality with only two years remaining.

    Completely off topic, but....why does your keeper league expire in 2015?

    As for your specific question: that Eller line in Montreal is their best line. Firing on all cylanders. Yes, a small sample size, but I really like what i'm seeing there.

    Given that you received the offer, your fellow GM is obviously trying to capitalize on Eller's hot start.

    Even though I like this trade for you, I'd counter it with a two-for-two offer, adding one player for each team, with a slight advantage going to you in these other players.

    See if he'll bite on the counter offer...

    Good luck.

    Thanks guys! We decided to do a 5 year test keeper before we do our lifetime. I like your advice thanks a lot!

    I can't imagine investing 5 years into a keeper and then starting over. Unless, of course, my team really, really sucked, lol.
    Cheers from Ottawa, and hope he bites on your counter

    Man. My keeper league is a 5 year thing too, and we don't even have a reason as to why. Look at my team. So frustrating.
