How many do you keep?
I ask for more if I\'m Team A, and I insist on MAF.
Keeper League 20 teams
22 players 3C 3RW 3LW
6 d-men
2 goalies
4 bench of anyone
Team A:
gives Malkin
Team B:
gives Gigure
Brassard
Loui erikson
Hemsky
Goalies are of extreme importance(top 3 teams have at least 2 regulars)
team A is in dire need of goaltending as Miller as his main starter.
team B also still has Fleury and Rinne and Varlamov for next year.

Malkin side for sure.
Giggy is fine, Brassard is out for the season, Erikson is turning out to be a solid winger and Hemmer is good, but I still would take Malkin without a doubt.

Definately Team A would need to request MA Fleury in a deal for Malkin, but Still would require a heck of a lot more going with him than those players to make the Malkin side lose this deal.
The number of keepers/squad could make a difference here, but as the deal stands now, Malkin side wins large...
Considering how deep this league is in terms of number of GMs and roster sizes, it\'s not a bad offer. Hemsky, Brassard, and Eriksson are pretty nice upgrades, but I guess this depends who Team A drops when getting them. Also, If the upgrade of Giguere or Fleury over Team A\'s second starter is significant this deal may become quite tempting.
In saying all of that, it would be very difficult to move Malkin no matter what the Price.
I guess the best way to look at the offer is like this:
Malkin 135pts > Hemsky 85pts
Do the upgrades of Brassard, Eriksson, and Fleury over Team A\'s dropped players exceed the above amount enough to justify giving up Malkin.
IMO, no.
Hope this helps. Good luck in your decision.
Cheers.
