Marchand vs Ghost + Tkachuk

[kidcabernet]

I got offered Marchand and McDonagh for my Tkachuk and Gostisbehere.

Stats are G A +/- PIM PPP SOG HIT

I have a good, well-balanced team, perennial contender, though getting old. Full keeper. 12 teams of 22 players. McDonagh has no value to me. Using our stats, Marchand was the #3 ranked player last year according to yahoo.

What are your thoughts? Will Marchand come close again to what he did last year or even 2 years ago? If so, for how long? Will Tkachuk be better in 2-3 years?

Thanks!

I don't like the deal if Mcdonagh is in it. I like Marchand but I don't think Ghost puts up as much in numbers this year to match them. Tkachuck will be a 40 point guy this year but I see him being a 60-70 point guy in 3 years. If you can get someone else instead of mcdonagh I'd give it some more thought. Look for a young good defensemen.

you need a big bump on McDonagh, not a fan of his in fantasy circles. Ghost is back in beast mode this season. I'd counter for one of his top D.
