    Default Am I crazy for not jumping on this?!

    This is for the team/league in the sig.

    I'm a Devils fan and was very pleased to win our league’s draft lottery to pick Hughes.
    I have plenty of cap space while most other teams are currently over the cap so they need to cut salary before the deadline.

    I was offered:

    A. Matthews & 2020 1st rd pick (this pick will probably be in the 8-12 ov. range)

    for J. Hughes

    Is the 1st rd pick worth moving a top prospect on my favorite team who may get comparable points to Matthews or is this a no-brainer and I’m just being a homer?

    It’s just my opinion but in fantasy hockey winning championships is the ultimate goal, but winning them with favourite players is priceless. It’s about having some fun . If I’m a Devils fan I’m keeping Hughes .

    Sorry, but your crazy.
    I'd take that in a second.
    If you got the cap space and lots of it.
    I'd accept.

    Press accept. Hughes will be good, but if you are going for the championship, you have to go for the more established Matthews.

    Run, don't walk, to that "accept" button.

    You can still cheer for Jack Hughes like a boss, even when he goes against you H2H. In fact, if you think about it, NOT having him on your team is actually win/win - if he produces, you'll be happy as a Devils fan, and if he shits the bed, it'll help your fantasy team!

    I get your point - Matthews is the second most expensive player in the entire league, and Hughes is getting paid as a rookie. Plus he’s going to be a real star AND on your favourite team. Might end up being the best non- Brodeur Devil of all time. I see both sides here but no, I don’t think you’re crazy.

    I'd take it, since there are other Devils you can get that are also young & exciting with less bust risk. think of it this way - does Hischier excite you? You can probably get him in return for something far less.

    I try to avoid having players I hate on my fantasy team, but that's about it.

    If you're going for it, you take Matthews. I don't know what Hughes will do. We all would love to see him get 80 points but as a rookie 60 is very hard to get. So essentially I think this deal is the other gm giving you a first for cap relief (assuming we see Hughes and Matthews as equals down the road). It's a tough one but I think I take that deal

    The only thing that makes me tempted to do this is the 1st round pick bonus. Matthews at that cap hit vs three years of Hughes at his low hit doesn't excite me as much. I just don't think Matthews is worth his cap hit in cap leagues. Not yet anyway.

    I think if you want to have fun following your favorite player on your team than keep Hughes. He is going to be a dynamic player for sure. If you want to win your Fantasy League you make this trade and get Matthews and the 1st Round pick.

    if you have cap room i would do this...its win now and win later type of deal for you...but without SOG as category this maybe pretty close between the two...

    I'd take that based on the talent. I mean the injury history for Matthews is the only concern. Good deal though.

    McDavid/Necas/ Kucherov/Bjorkstrand/Rust/Nugent Hopkins/Cirelli/Zegras/- Letang/Morrissey/Dahlin - Swayman/Saros/Skinner

    Prospects include:
    McTavish/Clarke/Bordeleau
    Dumais/Korchinski/Hutson

    Don't worry I'm not going to say anything more than I have to. If that.

    Take it. They are offering more value right now than you are giving up, and you can always try to trade to get him back later if you wanted it bad enough.
