    Default Wheeler for Kopitar/Arvidsson/Nyquist

    Sent an offer for the freshly Injured Arvidsson and got this counter offer in return.

    I'd be the one sending Wheeler for Kopitar, Arvidsson, Nyquist.

    This would be betting big on a Kopitar rebound with Arvidsson as a Pretty nice sweetener. I'm currently in 2nd place, 8 points out of 1st and shipping Wheeler feels like a bad idea but it doesn't feel like a terrible return for the 32 year old. Any thoughts?

    Is your league a full Keeper? If you are in 2nd, this feels like it will hurt your chances this year, since Wheeler is very likely to outproduce Kopitar and has a lot more value as a winger

    Quality over Quantity. Ardvisson is out 6-8 weeks so he doesn't really help till January, Nyquist is a throw away, and even if Kopi turns it around I don't think it brings you enough value to move a stud like Wheeler. I'm sure you could get a better return if you shopped him around to the rest of the league.

    Pass for me.

    As a GM that has Blake Wheeler in another pool, I don't think you should be trading him for that. With Arvidsson out till probably the end of January/early February, this trade really doesn't favour you. Nyquist seems to be a throw away too and it doesn't look like he'll ever come close to his perceived upside. Maybe if Arvidsson wasn't injured I'd maybe consider it, and that's a big maybe. Wheeler has a lot of trade value right now, he just come off a 91pt season in which he had 68 assists and 23 goals and 40 PPP and he's already playing to the level of that this year. That's way too valuable of a fantasy setting to trade away that easily, especially that it looks as though that he gets better with age and playing with the likes of Schiefele and Laine on the PP, so it gives him much more easier options to feed the puck to.

    With the mess that is LA this year, I'm on the same page as y'all - my team is built to compete now so I shouldn't shy away from.veterans too much but I'm always on guard to not get caught holding the bag on an aging asset.

    Then again with a guy like wheeler, the supporting cast is such that I should probably ride him out unless I get an offer that blows me away.

    Alternatively - the Vasilevsky owner might bite on Wheeler, if I can tough out the 4-6 weeks on the Vasi injury that seems like a better bet long term. Goalies are very valuable in our league.
