Is Malkin a Sell High?

[xLemZ]

Would you guys try and ship him for the right return right now or hold?

Depends what you can get. I'm always weary of Malkin's injury risk, but he's not a "sell high"

I still consider him one of the best players in the league, so I wouldn't be selling him for anything less than a point per game player. I'd rather take the injury risk.

He's never a true sell high because everyone knows he's going to get injured at some point. It would also be tough to get a point-per-game player for him. After all, who would trade one of them for a player who is always at risk of getting injured.

I traded him in my points only keeper pool this summer. I got Mark Stone and Voracek for him. Remember, they were 50- and 60-point players last year.

As a Malkin owner, this has crossed my mind too, hard to do right now though as the big man is rolling!! Who would be some targets? Maybe Pavelski? My team is a bit goal heavy right now it seems, I could maybe try to get something like Backstrom + Schwartz for Malkin + Turris or Backstrom + Krug or Carlson for Malkin + Faulk. If Gino is healthy come H2H playoffs that's all that matters! Faulk has been my worst player, would like to upgrade him though.

Any band aid boy gives me the sell high vibe, but really when he's playing there's not a lot better. I'd rather take the highs and deal with the lows.

Is he a sell high? Probably not, is he a sell now? Probably yeah - you won't have many better windows to sell him in if you want out from his injury plaguedness but I don't think you'll convince anyone to over pay for it
