I like both your trades, you definitely improved your wingers depth.

I like Trade #1 for you so far. Jury's still out on #2, but could turn out fine, in theory. Pray that Turris stays healthy.
For a 14 team league it looks excellent. I would be looking to dump off Parise as he still has a little name value, but otherwise I think you have done a good job of condensing into your top spots.

Tough to give up on Wheeler too, but you have to give in order to receive.

Trade #2: My Ryan Getlzlaf/Weber for Kessel,Yandle and JVR.
I love Trade #1 for you.... I would argue that you got the two best players in the deal as long as they can stay healthy in Couture and Stone. and a 5th round pick as an upgrade...
The 2nd trade I am iffy about as Getz is lighting it up this year!
Thanks Guys. I do hate losing Getz and Weber as I think both will have huge years. The problem I was having is I had 5 capable centers and I was routinely leaving Turris and Kadri on the bench. Now my team's in a little more harmony. The other issue was I had very little winger depth particular the right side. The WW has some adequate center options still available in case of injury but is picked clean of wingers.
I know Kessel is going to be fine and pick it up. What worries me is Yandle. What is wrong with him so far?
