Probably not. Elliot is a lot of hype that's fallen in disfavour in Colorado and Scheifele is cheaper now but probably won't be on his next deal and has a lower upside IMO.
Dynasty cap league in Sig, would you trade skinner for scheifele and Stefan Elliott?

I would be doing that deal, as I think Scheifs has better upside than Skinner, and your league stats are good for him - but I am a Wpg fan. Was a big Elliot fan but not sure now - even though it takes D-men longer to develop.
See if there is another prospect that they would switch for Elliott that you like. Honestly don't think upsides are much different - see if you can get a better prospect. Never no, Elliott may be called up to replace Barrie injury.

I don't see how they have similar upsides. Skinner already has 2 30 goal seasons. Not to mention Scheifele has somehow managed to show himself more injury prone than Skinner over their careers.
Skinner is an elite goal scorer who doesn't get enough credit for how good he is at scoring. elite. the rest of his game is limited, but it will improve with time and skinner will be playing more minutes in the near future. when lindholm, or another playmaker is ready on the canes, skinner is going to score 40 goals regularly.
Scheifle going to be top dog in Wpg in the future, he won't be that far behind skinner in pts, and will have better peripherals. If he get a decent prospect in the deal then no problem. Skinner will be second fiddle behind Staal for a few more years.

Even if Scheifle ends up as top dog in the peg, that's not saying much right now. In addition, there really isn't anything to suggest he will be approaching Skinner's production level anytime soon. There's a lot of 'hope' there with Schiefle. Stick with the guy who has already proven what he can do.
How are some people so high on Scheifele? Does he look good? Yes. He also has shown nothing relative to skinner, and skinner has the potential to be a 40 G, 30+ A kind of player that shoots a ton. That's pretty hard to find. It's incredible how much people get taken away with by rookies. And if you really like rookies, well then look at Skinner's 63 pt rookie season.
absolutely not
I don't love the trade. Largely because it's feels unlikely that Scheifele will have the upside of Skinner (40 goals, 300 SOG) and the "+" doesn't seem substantial enough
I once traded Henrik Lundqvist and Ilya Kovalchuk in return for Peter Budaj and Henrik Zetterberg… have lived in shame ever since.
