    Default Allen for Ekblad +

    League in my signature. I've been offered the following deal:

    I give
    Jake Allen
    2017 2nd rounder

    I get
    Aaron Ekblad
    Carter Hutton
    2017 first rounder (likely in the 10-14 range)

    I'm leaning toward rejecting but wanted to get some thoughts. He also has Husso in his farm, if anything I'm thinking I'd want Husso over Hutton but even then I'm not convinced. Thoughts?

    In a vacuum, that would be a great deal for you as Ekblad contributes across the board. Husso would definitely be a better get than Hutton as I think Husso is more likely to become the starting goalie in St Louis than Carter if Allen gets hurt.

    However, your goalies are not very good so unless you can find a deal for another starting goalie, I would not make the deal. Starting a year in a 14 team, 2G league with 3 back up goalies is not a great place to be.

    I agree with your rejection. In a 14 team, 2G league, you need the goaltending. Let him knock your socks off or it's probably no deal.

    Looking at your roster, I prefer Allen more than Ekblad, especially in a start 2G league.
    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 definitely agree. Losing Allen leaves you with a mess of a goalie situation.
