Nash + Niemi for Rask trade?

Who wins this trade?

In a one year I like Nash/Niemi but I would post more league details to be sure.

Rask is an elite starter and turning an average looking Niemi this season (how lucky is he that Stalock is injured right now???) and a Nash shooting at a 25% clip into him is a no brainer for me

[Canucks_fan18]

Hmm I think it all depends on his settings.. how heavily rated our goalie cats? How many teams? What does his team look like? etc...

[seanavery]

My league details and team is below: The reason I want to do a 2 for 1 is so I can free space when players come back and hopefully upgrade a bit.

8 Team Head to Head League. The stats are G, A, P, Plus/Minus, PPP, SHP, PIM, SOG, GWG, Hit, Blocked Shots, Faceoff Won, and Defense Points for players....And for Goalies it's W, L, GA, GAA, Saves, SV%. Minutes Played, SHO.

Starting Lineup (4 C's, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4 D, 3 Util, and 2 Goalies)

C - Stamkos, Malkin, Spezza, Kesler
LW - Parise, Marleau
RW - P. Kane, B. Ryan
D - Shattenkirk, Suter, Edler, Vatanen
Util - Callahan (RW), Vrbata (RW), Nash (LW)

G - Bishop, Niemi, Holtby, (can only start 2 every night)

Bench - Schwartz (LW), E. Staal (C), Ribiero (C)

IR - Dubinsky, Sharp

Wow that's a ton of categories hmm I like the Rask side now but its close and of Nash continues on his to rid space you could easily lose the deal but its a good risk for Rask

I dunno, with Bishop you seem to have a decent goalie line up. Your forwards look fairly strong, but considering it's only 8 teams, Nash is helping you there. I think you're team is fairly balanced and doing this deal moves you to a heavily goalie dependent team, which only has less then 50% of the stats?

How are you doing in the league in general? This requires more assessment.

whereas I go the other way - consoldiating your goalies in an 8 team league is great (especially when only 88 forwards are taken so you should have some good options on the waiver wire)
