I really want Giroux but not at this cost
Giroux is the best player, and I'm not a huge Jokinen fan (though he is solid) and Larkin amd Patches are in between.
Personally i I keep what I have. I don't think it's a bad deal I just think the drop off from Giroux to Patches is less than a drop off from Jokinen to Larkin (that and I don't see any re sale value in Jokinen whilst I think Larkin's is high)
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Because of the shots category and my lack of trust in Jussi Jokinen, I go Patches and Larkin.
Unless this is a league with a very limited number of keepers.
Points-only keeper league. 12 teams. Keep any 12 players. Dress 12F - 6D - 2G.
Jokinen is irrelevant. If we were looking at this as a 2 for 1, we would see Larkin as the cost to upgrade from Patches to Giroux, and say it's almost worth it. Then you add in whatever replacement value you can get from the spot (a FA, and likely not Jokinen) and we would say yes to the Giroux side. Sometimes the phrasing can even change our opinions.

I'd take the Giroux side, he is the best player in the deal.
Larkin has nice upside, but I'd want a better piece than that to downgrade from Giroux to Patches.
