    Default Hertl for Backstrom

    Hello!

    Got offered his Hertl + 1st round pick (7th overall) for my Backstrom + 2nd round (15th overall).

    At first I’m thinking no... but was wondering how you see the trade.

    Hertl had almost 20% SH, that screams downward correction. Is Backstrom can still be considered PPG player?

    How do you value Hertl and Backstrom over the next 2 years?

    Thx!

    Points only I prefer backstrom for the next couple years. I need to see more than one season of near ppg from hertl, especially with that shooting percentage.

    What kind of player will you get in the first round vs 2nd round?
    Set roster weekly in H2H (Mon to Sun) - 16 Teams - start 6F, 3D, and 1G per week - Keep 2

    Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO

    Forwards:
    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    Defense:
    B. Burns, J. Klingberg, R. Josi, J. Slavin

    Goalie:
    J. Binnington

    IR (2 max):

    I'd keep Backstrom. The difference between the 7th overall and the 15th overall isn't enough for me to give up the better in points-only formats.
    12 team, H2H, salary cap
    1 pt/G or A, 2 pts/W, 1 pt/OTL, 1 pt/SO

    Forward: B. Point, M. Necas, A. Debrincat, T. Zegras, J. Bratt, L. Raymond
    Defense: J. Morrissey, A. DeAngelo, S. Gostisbehere, D. Doughty
    Goalie: T. Demko, E. Merzlikins
    Bench: M. Rossi, C. Glass, M. Maccelli, M. Dumba, K. Shattenkirk, F. Andersen
    Prospects of Note: L. Stankoven, J. Lekkerimaki, D. Yurov, B. Clarke

    League has been running continuously since 1997-98

    Even though this is a salary cap league, due to the relatively small size of the league (11), and inflated cap (91), I think that I would keep Backstrom here. The $2 million cap savings doesn't make as big of an impact here compared to if it were a 16 team league with an 83 M$ cap, for example. Additionally, with Karlsson now signed to a monster contract, that is going to have ripples throughout the rest of their lineup, so it is difficult to see Hertl having the qualify of line mates next year that he had this year.
