Help me with this trade offer!

[93Leafs]

12 Team keeper league. Points only. Goalie wins 2 pts and shutout 2 points.
We drop 8 players at end of the year. Team is in my signature.

I won last year but we have a very unique cap pool. Players points from the previous year count towards the cap the next year.
So in order for my team to fall under the cap this year I have had to trade some players away like, bobrosky, bergeron, Giordano, Atkinson to name a few.

I think I got some decent return. I now have Johansson, Palmieri, Galchenyuk, Schwartz that are cheaper cap and might have some good upside.
Buff gonna hurt me but can't control that situation.

Anyway I have another offer on the table:

My Yandle

for his Jamie Benn, Gourde and Chlemevski (I was thinking of changing Gourde and going for D. Perron instead)

I think I still have one of the top 3 teams in the league but you never know. I'm currently in 6th place.

What do you guys think? Will this weaken my Defense too much? If I do this deal i can always put Hughes in for Yandle?
Does this make sense?

Farm team rules: Once a player turns 22 or has played 82NHL games they must go on your roster. You can put rookie in your lineup any time but
once they go in they can't go back on your rookie roster. Only thing you can do is keep player on your roster or drop into Free Agency.

Thanks for all your input. If you need any more details please let me know. Cheers!

Hard to answer since I don't know how many players start at each position. So it's difficult to evaluate whether you can afford to lose a D in addition to rostering Buff

All players play in lineup every night.

I currently have Galchenyuk on ir but once he comes back I can put buff on ir and grab a FA
Some players available off the wire: Mathewson, vlasic, chychrun, green, Brodie,

Thanks for the response!

Anyone have any thoughts please?

I would make that trade. Benn is a buy low candidate. And being able to put Buff on IR will certainly help.

I have to think Dallas sorts things out sooner rather than later...

Any others?

I like Quinn Hughes even though I don't think he is gonna be Yandle this soon but he is gonna be good. Adding Jamie Benn is good though. I like the trade for you.

[Gretzky99Orr4]

I would run to accept that.

[93Leafs]

It’s really now just down to benn for yandle? Go or no?

[EnglishJet]

I'd take Benn for Yandle myself. Benn/Dallas are going to bounce back soon.

[93Leafs]

Couple of more positive responses and I will pull the trigger!

[93Leafs]

Sorry gang just looking for a bit more feedback before I pull the trigger.

Basically my Yandle for his Benn. Then I can slot in Q. Hughes for Yandle.

Good for me or not? I just don't want to weaken my D too much

Thanks in advance!
