    Default I give Neal+Landeskog for Malkin in salary cap league?

    Hey all, this is my very first post, and I will be sure to stick around!

    I am in a Dynasty salary cap league and the Evgeni Malkin owner is in a bit of cap trouble, so he put him on the block.

    These are my current players and I have roughly 12 Million in cap space after just "stealing" James neal which cost me 5.5 Million & my 2012 1st & 2nd round Amateur picks and my 2013 1st round Amateur as compensation.

    I thought I would get a few opinions, Malkin (1 year @ 9M & following year @ 7.5M) Neal (5 years @5M) & LAndeskog (2 years @ .925), plus an additional 1 Million in cap space.

    Malkin = 9M

    Neal =5M
    Landeskog =.925
    Cap Space =1Million

    leaves me with additional 4.075M of cap hit which brings me to around 8 Million leaft in cap space.

    Here's the rest of my team, roster 21 players, so if I did this I will have to draft/sign 5 players.

    Nicklas Backstrom
    Mikko Koivu
    Lars Eller
    Evander Kane
    James Neal
    David Desharnais
    Wayne Simmonds
    Patrick Kane
    Marian Gaborik
    Gabriel Landeskog
    Zdeno Chara
    Brent Burns
    Luke Schenn
    Yannick Weber
    Corey Crawford
    Niklas Backstrom

    I hope this all makes sense, and I am ready to do it, but I rationalize that by the seasons end Neal/Landeskog will have more combined points that Malkin. But Malkin is maybe the best player in the NHL.

    Does this deal make sense??

    Thanks!

    Welcome to the boards

    Yes , it makes sense to me. Id do the deal. Best player of the deal: Malkin

    Btw, what are your scoring categories? How many you start? positions in play? how many teams?

    14 teams

    Scoring - G, A, +/-, PIM, PPG, PPA, SHP, GWG, SOG, FOW, Hits ..... W, GAA, SV, SV%, SO

    Start C,C,LW,LW,RW,RW,UTIL,UTIL,D,D,D,D,G,G

    Oh, and I have a JV roster I forgot to post as well that I can pull players up from. BTW, we have not had our "rookie" and "veteran/left over rookies" drafts yet.

    Nazem Kadri
    Joe Colborne
    Jimmy Hayes
    Greg McKegg
    Danny Kristo
    Louis Leblanc
    Chris Kreider
    Keith Aulie
    Luca Caputi
    Adam Clendening
    Shawn Lalonde
    Jerome Gauthier-Leduc
    Ben Smith
    Chris Tanev
    Michal Repik
    Greg Nemisz
    Drew Schiestel
    Michael Ferland
    Chris Summers
    Brock Nelson
    Jussi Rynnas
    Justin Peters
    Mark Dekanich
    Kent Patterson

    I suppose I'll be replacing Landeskog with Kreider.

    Should I worry about dealing with a new Malkin contract in a year or 2? I worry that he might get some insane deal and cost me 10M-11M per season or so. And I am also leary of Russians with the ever threatening "KHL departure".

    But I agree, Malkin is the best player in the deal, which is why I told him I need tonight to think this over, AKA run to the Dobber Boards to get some opinions!

    I actually just asked him if I could swap out LAndeskog with Kreider, as this deal would totally deplete my LW depth, and he will also be getting a promising young center back as well.....

    Thanks. I'm sure I will, just gonna wait to see if anyone else comments.

    I am always on a football message board at dynastyleaguefootball.com and usually like to get at least 2 or 3 points of view on a trade idea.

    I bought time by letting the owner know I want to sleep on it and he is totally cool with it.

    Get Malkin while you still can. That's a cheap price in my opinion even with the extra cap hit
    10-team Auction League, $160 team salary, weekly H2H, start: 6F, 4D, 1G and 5 Bench

    Scoring structure: (F : 1pt G / 1pt A / 0.15pts SOG / 0.15pts Hits / 0.15pts BlkS), (G : 5 pts W / 3 pts SO / 0.01 pts Saves)

    Forwards : Ovechkin ($43), Kessel ($20), Benn ($7), Spezza ($13), Brown ($7), Marchand ($13), Landeskog ($3), Elias ($1), Plekanec ($1),

    Defenses : Letang ($26), Visnovsky ($1), Bieksa ($1), Faulk ($2) Ehrhoff ($2)

    Goalies : Holtby ($7), Nabokov ($2)

    I agreed to the deal.

    I had a major man crush on Landeskog, and Neal + Landeskog will probably equal over 300+ hits this year combined.

    But still, it's Malkin. In his prime.

    Thanks for the advice guys. I will be back on when I can to pay it forward to others seeking advice!
