Eberle/Suter/Wisniewski/2nd for Crosby/Nyquist/Orpik/1st

[northernnuck]

Weekly H2H full keeper, $$$

Giving up my two strong Ds leaves me hurting at D, but getting Crosby/Nyquist back against Eberle while Orpik chips in for Blocks and Hits makes me wonder if Crosby's concussion issues will come back to bit me. Wis has his problems too but not the impact if Crosby goes down. Nyquist had a 69 point pace last year to Eberle's 65 doused by his +/-. I need the boost but feeling the risk. Thoughts?

Points nearly identical to sig.

My team (noteworthy)
C: M. Backlund, Bonino, Galcheyuk, Fisher
W: Eberle, Vanek, Hemsky, Baertschi
D: Suter, Wisniewski, Franson, Gelinas

Unbelievable. I can't believe he offered Crosby for that, let alone adding Nyquist and a 1st? Unbelievable. Accept as fast as you can before he cancels it. And it's a money league. My god.

[Axeman33]

Yep, I'd take that.

It's a lot easier to replace D than it is finding another Crosby.

Big win here for you, especially with the additions with Crosby!

[Laendarian]

big win to land Sid without giving up any top tier players.

Need clarification...was this trade offered to you? Or is one you're planning to propose?

If it's the former...insta-accept...if it's the latter, it aint enough (IMO).

Accept before he changes his mind. I'd do that for Crosby and Orpik let alone getting Nyquist and a first rounder as well. Easy accept.

[Canucks_fan18]

wow the stupidity of people in certain leagues baffles me accept now!!

That is a crazy win for you, if indeed this was offered to you. Accept!

I had Gelinas on my farm Dec '11.

He wanted D and dangled Crosby. I rolled it from there. In the final moments, he then wanted Ekblad to be added, threw me back Draisatl. I just couldn't say no.

Trade has been accepted, Commish will approve. Yeah man!

That's disgusting.

My god. The guy was negotiating against himself!

Idiot GM: "I don't know if I want to do this deal anymore. I'll only do it if you throw in Ekblad..."

Winning GM: *about to respond with, "no problem"*

Idiot GM: "...and I'll send you back Draisatl"

Winning GM: "Wait.... What? I mean, Yes! Yes! APPROVE APPROVE!"

Congratulations on this one. Robbed the guy blind.

One of the most lopsided deals I've seen in a long time. It's almost unbelievable.

[Buck Fush]

Only thing you need to think about now is quitting fantasy hockey.. Haha sorry but it boggles my mind that someone had to ask whether that is a trade they should accept!

Just to clarify: Based on our point system that favours Ds
Last Year
Crosby/Nyquist/Orpic cashed in for 1417 Fpts, Eberle/Suter/Wisniewski cashed in for 1487 Fpts

Fantrax Projection 2014-2015
Crosby/Nyquist/Orpic projected for 1673 Fpts, Eberle/Suter/Wisniewski projected for 1773 Fpts

Nyquist needs to pick it up (from NHL.com - Nyquist scored 28 goals in 57 games last season, at times singlehandedly carrying the Detroit Red Wings, particularly during a 10-game stretch late in the season when he scored 12 times. He was arguably the biggest reason why Detroit extended its streak of consecutive appearances in the Stanley Cup Playoffs to 23. Nyquist is 25 years old, and he could become the new star in Detroit if he does it again. The "if" as it relates to Nyquist is one of the Red Wings' biggest wild cards heading into the season.), Crosby needs to stay healthy, while Eberle just might creep up production if EDM gets any better, while Suter needs to get off Dobber's risk list (http://hockey.dobbersports.com/Easte...semen-part-two)

Not as far apart as everybody is making it to be: bottom line is that it will be easier for me to find another D than it will be to find another Crosby. Yes, the pick was my negotiating for more, and yes, I nearly pissed myself when he wanted Ekblad for Draisatl. Thanks folks for all the comments.

[The Good Sir]

Wow. Just Wow.
