    Default Jones for my Mittelstadt REP

    Hi Dobberities,


    I'm negotiating for Martin Jones. My team and league info is in my signature. My trading partner wants Mittelstadt back. Would you pull the trigger? My team is contending, but I'm also thinking about longterm when I'm trading for someone. Will Mittelstadt be a superstar? I know it's hard tell, maybe I'm just biased with him. What is your opinion?
    Team:
     

    --------------------20 team, weekly H2H, multicat--------------------
    C: MacKinnon, Scheifele, Bergeron, Toews, W.Karlsson, Lundell (start 4)
    LW: Guentzel, Giroux, Landeskog, Ehlers, Benn (4)
    RW: Kucherov, Tarasenko, Rantanen, Teravainen, Palmieri (4)
    D: Klingberg, Rielly, Hamilton, Trouba, Sergachev, Gudas, McNabb, Hakanpaa (6)
    G: Lehner, Fleury, Petersen, Swayman (2)
    Prospects: Turcotte, J.Quinn, L.Hughes

    If you need immediate help, which you do, this isnt a horrible price to pay for Jones. He is usually a very solid option. Murray-Jones should be able to get you to the finish line. Mittelstadt's complete lack of upper-body strength concerns me but that is fixable if he puts in the work.

    I'm hardly impartial here as a Mittelstadt owner myself...but I think I stand pat.

    Jones' hold on the SJ starter job is getting tested by Dell.

    And SJ's getting a bit long in the tooth at some important positions with no obvious succession plan (read: who's gonna replace Thornton/Pavelski/Burns' production when they go). How that plays out for Jones is anyone's guess.

    Whereas Mittelstadt still has some shine to his pedigree. Having said that, we may not see him play in the bigs for another year or two.

    Just seems to me that the wait on Mittelstadt is a safer play than rolling the dice that SJ can continue to avoid Father Time.

    This is an easy yes imo. Where would mittlestat play for you? I can’t see him bumping too many of your F any time soon. I assume you’d have to drop forsberg or would Allen need to go? If it’s allen, maybe you could add him in exchange for a different spect?

    Have you thought about making the deal bigger by adding a little more from each side??

    I would definitely make this trade. In a 20 team league, starting goalies are extremely valuable.

    Mittelstadt doesn't make your lineup anytime soon (holy hell, that is a great 20 team roster!!!).

    Thank you guys for these responses. Keep them coming.

    @Roenick27 - I don't have to drop any of my goalies, we can roster 4 (I'm also owning Berube, but right know he is an easy drop for me). Allen will stay, I'm not testing the waters with him right know, I'm sure he would be a sell-low candidate.

    @Zotto Actually I'm trying to put Tyler Johnson in the deal next to Jones, I need some help on RW (he can give me some FOW beside points). Maybe putting Anton Forsberg to the deal can be sweeten that.

    THEN I wouldn’t hesitate at all. I’d do that with ease.
