    Default Stepan trade

    14 team dynasty league (25 nhl/35 minors - roster size) cap league

    G A PPP SHP SOG hit BLK PIM and goalie cars

    I was offered,

    Derek Stepan
    Connor Sheary

    For

    Aaron Ekblad


    My defense:

    PK Subban
    Aaron Ekblad
    Oliver Ekman-Larsson
    Shea Weber
    Jamie Oleksiak
    Greg Pateryn

    I like depth is gives me up front, but feel like I'm selling myself short on Ekblad.

    Thoughts?

    It would be a hard no for me. I think you give up the best player in the deal. If it's only depth up front it gets you, I'd wait or look for something else. With this deal on the table there's no harm in shopping Ekblad around and see what else you might be able to get.

    How does the cap work? Can you drop players if needed or do you have to buy them out?

    Initially I say I like the Ekblad side, but depending on settings it could swing the other way.

    I can simply drop players if need be to shift under the cap. I can have two players over the 1.5m limit in my minors as well (currently Steen 7m and Nyquist 5.5m - but both will probably be dropped before the season).

    I'm not a fan of this at all. Ekblad is the best player in the deal. Not a clue what Sheary will provide this year - or even where he lines up at this point. Stepan has been, well, underwhelming most of his career. Keep the kid and hope he hits his upside.

    FWIW, Ekblad's season-long production obscures the fact that he had 27 of his points in the second half. This could be a major breakout year for him.
