    Default Matt Tkachuk vs Pat Laine

    In a new league, talking offers

    Got offered Laine for either Tkachuk or Tarasenko.

    G-2pts other stats are A/+-/ppp/shp/hits/blocks/gwg but goals are highest paying stat.

    Thoughts?

    Fwd G 2pt A 1pt Def G 2pt A 1pt Blk .33 pt Goalies - W 2pt OTL 1pt SO 4pt

    D(6): Seider, Dahlin, Drysdale, Bouchard, Theodore, Mintyukov

    Laine is not in north America right now and we don't know what his cap hit will be along with the uncertainty of both his deployment and questionable play last season, makes this an easy pass for me right now.

    Things could change as we get more information but those question marks aren't there for tank and tkatchuk. As things change it may be worth revisiting.

    We have a much better idea of what to expect from your players this season presuming tkatchuk signs. Both tank and tkatchuk can also put up goals. They may not have Laines shot but right now they have him in almost every other category.

    In a new league there's no reason not to try and win it this year and the two you have give you a better shot, for now.
    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

    I'd hold what you have. Laine is a protypical depressed asset right now, but you would be buying at basically full price.

    How did these guys score in each of the last 2 seasons in your format?

    Agree with above hold. With 2 of the 3 pieces unsigned had to gauge. Plus after today’s comments Laine might be on the move.

    At this point I will reject both offers. Keep Tarasenko and Matthew Tkachuk.

    Kept Tkachuk finally. Was pretty sure i would decline. Just the 40+G was tempting but yeah Tkachuk was better option for now.

    Thanks guys always a great help 🙂

    Laine has the talent to be a top line producer but at the moment he's pouting in Europe. I'd play it safe and hold for now.

    Laine is a complicated situation right now with a huge upside in the future when he signs. For the uncertainty at the moment though and the talent you’d be giving up I’d hold off on the trade.
