In league in signature, I have been offered

Johnny Gaudreau
Nazem Kadri

for my

Elias Lindholm
Anze Kopitar

I am leaning no b/c of Lindy's FOWs from the wing. Thoughts?

[Eskimo Brother]

I would probably pass as well.

My league doesn't do FOW so I'm no help there but it looks pretty even, You must think it's fairly close if the FOW is the deal breaker? I think it comes down to how you think Kopitars season is going to end up. It looks like you're good at speculating if you won two years ago and got second last year!

Gaudreau could push for 90 points, assist heavy, good PPP but weak peripherals
Kadri will be lucky to get 50 points but covers peripherals well (should get more PIM's than lindholm)

Lindholm could push for 70-75 points and cover peripherals well compared to Kadri (to my surprise as I looked him up before I posted but mostly hits which your league doesn't count)
Kopitar may be the wildcard in the trade - you got to think he's eventually going to come around on a horrible LA team. I don't think he would replicate his 52 points 2 years ago. Even if he goes a point per game for the rest of the year will only put him at ~72 points. His IPP is about 20% too low so you would think it would come around. Tons of FOW's (noticed when I looked his stats up).

Let me know what you ultimately decide!

I have asked him to upgrade Kadri to Dubois

I have asked him to upgrade Kadri to Dubois

Does Dubois have dual pos eligibility in your league?

[joe jones]

yeah he is c/lw

[saucelife90]

With Dubois' dual status I'd make that trade. You're getting the best player in the deal, keeping the FOW from a winger.
