Trading tim thomas help
In my fantasy league my offense has been pretty inconsistent. I have been offered the following trade: Tim Thomas (G) and Jussi Jokinen (C/LW) for Nicklas Backstrom (C) and Shane Doan (LW/RW). my worry is that it'll cripple me in nets. this is my current roster:
C Tomas Plekanec
C Henrik Sedin
C/LW Jussi Jokinen
C/LW Alex Steen
LW Gabriel Landeskog
LW/RW Chad LaRose
RW Martin Erat
RW/LW Loui Eriksson
RW/LW Tomas Kopecky
D/RW Dustin Byfuglien
D Carlo Colaiacovo
D Matt Carle
D Shea Weber
D Corey Potter
C Martin Hanzal
C David Krejci
C/LW Jamie Benn
RW Martin Havlat
IR Ryan Whitney
IR Tim Connolly
G Cam Ward
G Johan Hedberg
G Josh Harding
G Tim Thomas
I then have a possible deal in place that would allow me to give Plekanec and possibly Hedberg for Nicklas Backstrom( the goalie)...thoughts? advice?

I think it would be helpful to know a lot more about your league structure but I would be nervous about moving Thomas in most leagues given the importance of goaltending. But Backstrom would certainly help your offense.
I would do the Plekanec deal first and re-evaluate - you would have the Minn handcuff then and you look deep enough at C to lose Plekanec but that doesn't help your offense much, just beefs up a pretty decent goalie set.
14 teams, head to head, scoring: g, a , pts, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, Wins, GAA, SV%, Shutout.
In the end the tradeoff would be a slight downgrade in nets from Thomas to backstrom and a slight upgrade at center from plekanec to backstrom. worth it?

Don´t you consider Nicklas Backstrom (WSH) an elite player?Originally Posted by bigbabybuda
I personally like that deal.
Basicially you downgrade from Thomas to the other Backstrom.
Upgrade Jokinen to Doan and make the huge upgrade from Plekanec/Hedberg to Backstrom.
Usually i feel unsure about going for Backstrom the goalie but since you have his handcuff in Harding i kinda like that trade.
Ward will pick up his game again and the Minny goalies will carry you the way.

I do consider Nicklas Backstrom (WSH) an elite player in my opinion that's the only reason id consider this trade.Also the fact that Thomas basically fully splits the starts worries me a bit
Im so tempted to do it i badly need a big time scorer
