    Default Kopitar and Connolly for Kessel and Hiller

    My team is in my sig.
    I've been offered Kessel and Hiller for my Kopitar and Brett Connolly.

    Thinking of the other GM: helps my wing and vastly improves me in goal.

    I do have a glut of centers though and it's not sure that Connolly will help me win this year. I am currently 4th in the standings and have a chance to finish top 3 in the money this year.

    Should I ask for more? Is it a bad idea to give up such yong talent just for a keeper? Will Kessel keep up his pace?

    I would take that for sure, Kessel isn't going to be at the top of the league at the end of the year but he will put up good numbers, and Hiller is a stud when healthy. Hard to lose Kopi but its a very good price.

    1) No Kessel will not keep up his current pace and score 100 points or whatever he's projected for, but as Laendarian mentioned he does have good value.

    2) Wtf someone actually offered you that in a 30 TEAM LEAGUE? Does he/she not realize how hard it is to find goaltending in a league like this? This looks like a no brainer to me, I woulda pulled the trigger yesterday...you have Harding/Dipietro and Emery for frig sake lol.

    What is your keeper system like anyways.

    Take it!! NO Kessel will not maintain his pace but 40 goals are probabilty and so is 70 pts and IMO Hiller is one of the most under-rated Goalies in the league!

    yeah I like that deal for you, Kessel is a downgrade from Kopitar to be sure but Hiller is miles better than Connolly

    the keeper system is:
    7F, 3D, 2G or
    9F, 5D, 1G
    at the end of the season.

    Thanks for the quick tips! I'm going to get the deal done as I'm super weak at G, and on the wing.

    I'll have to include Dipietro in the deal just for cap reasons, but that's not very important..

    LOL...so you get Hiller who is a legit top 10 goalie and will be a keeper for you among a sea of backups/plugs like Harding/Dipietro/Emery....

    AND you get rid of Dipietro's 4.5M per season?

    Wow, talk about a win on all counts. I don't think I can emphasize how much of a win this is.

    Just an update, the deal is close to being accepted. As it stands the deal is now:

    To EDM
    Hiller
    Kessel
    McBain
    Hickey
    2013 2nd Rd UFA (WSH)
    2013 2nd Rd Prospect (VAN)

    To VAN
    Kopitar
    Connolly
    Dipietro
    2012 1st Rd Prospect (PHI)
    2013 1st Rd UFA (EDM)
    2014 1st Rd UFA (EDM)

    I end up giving up some 1st round Free agent picks in later years, but get 3 guys that will help me this year and get to dump Dipietro's salary

    Yeah, even with the picks, I think this is still a good deal for you.
