I would not take that offer in a cap league. Malkin and Couture alone is 15m! If you're looking for forwards try flipping Lunqvist / Bishop and/or Subban/Weber. Those guys are way too expensive but could probably land you some decent forwards.

[RizzeeDizzee]

Yeah - I think this is an unfavorable deal for you. I'd go back with a pretty hard no.

[newper114]

Yeah he is doig what you need to do. Throwing sexy names on Malkin af couture d yes they are great adds but in cap league you are taking on too much cash. Also 5 for 2 is ugly. You would need to drop 3 guys and unless you have tons of cap you will need to drop good players

I would rather have Laine than Malkin
I would rather have Bishop than Malkin
I would rather have Laine than Couture
I would rather have Bishop than Couture

[Lindros88]

I gave it the NO. That Malkin name got me kinda hooked.. but you're all correct, Laine is the right play here!

[CHunter]

Salary cap league, you would be getting a lot of $$$....

You surely would have to clear some guys if you do this deal....what are the guys that you would get rid of?

At first sight, it's no for me....

Also, you're $$$ heavy on D....I would like to clear some $$$ at D if I was in your situation....

[Magicstew]

Agree with others - no deal, You don't need quantity,
What is your salary cap.

Laine > Malkin. Period. The rest is fluff (even though I like Zacha).

[plug]

Laine side for me.
