Hey Nucker. I have to say after reading everyones statements here, that I agree with these fine folks. I wanted to man up and apologize for potentially bad advice on my behalf, as I am in Roto leagues and they are very top heavy in Goaltending. You can see that by looking at my team, and our categories.
I have played in head2head leagues before, but my game is roto. In our league, the top 3 spots are always the teams with the best Goalie stats, but that means nothing to you in your situation. Your Goalies are way good enough to keep, and keep Staal along with them. No brainer.
I felt complelled to write this. It's also helpful to learn more from vets that know more about head2head than I do. The one question I must admit that still looms in me is, is there someone in your league that you could smoke for a deal after aquiring Lundy?
For instance, if you were to make that deal, could you target a GM who has awful Goaltending, but maybe has a stifling offensive player such as Ovie, Giroux or Crosby? Makes me wonder. Don't ever underestimate the power of a brand name like Lundqvist.
Is there someone who you could them push off Lundy for say one of the three above mentioned forwards ( or someone like them ) along for a guy maybe like Rask ( or someone like him ) ?. I figured it would be worth asking, and maybe you could go into talks with a GM in your league ithis current situation, that may be desperate.
The question beocomes who would be more valuable? Smith and Staal or say hypothetically speaking, "A Rask and Ovie type deal'? Seems you have the Goalteding already to make that type of move, but that requires a lot of work between now and midnight, and I wouldn't do it unless you lock in a deal after the Staal/ Smith trade.
Good luck. In my thread, I had limited replies. My take is that the names listed are very similar. The injury to McDonagh has complicated the issue. I did notice that M.A. Bergeron is available, and if he stays in the Tampa lineup, he could be exactly what I need. I will paste the link to my thread, hoping to get more feedback.
