points only league, should i swap any of these players?

[apollo18]

hey guys im in a points only league and during trades, positions dont count, so we can trade anyone for anyone.

im wondering if i should trade any of these players listed below and next to there name i put my point projection for what i am hoping they get based on where they were drafted:

its just a points only league, so 1 g and 1 a is 1 point

J Benn - hoping he gets 70+
Couturier- hoping he gets 75 ish+
Landeskog- hoping he gets 70+
Marner- hoping he gets 90+ or in the same range as draisaitl/Rantanen
Rantanen- hoping he gets 90+ or in the same range as draisaitl/Marner
Tarasenko - hoping he gets 70+
Oliver ekman larsson - hoping he gets 45+


the rest of the players i picked have lower expectations and i feel like they will make them so thats why i didnt list

With my perspective i feel like J benn and couturier are on the hot seat the most since couts is on 2nd line and j benn needs to heat up

i picked marner/rantanen around the same spot where draisatil got picked so thats why i want them to get the same points as him.
Rant seems fine and steadily produces but Marner seems to not be as electric as last year with an early assumption. I know it is early in the year but if consensus thinjs i should try trading him then i can.


do you guys think my players can reach there expectations? if not ill try trading them asap for someone else

thanks

I think all of those are fairly reasonable. OEL and Benn are the two I would worry about most though. They should have some decent name value on the trade market too.

I am worried about Benn. Dallas is almost at the bottom of the league in offensive production after 7 games with no sign that they are waking up. If you're like me, you drafted him expecting 70ish points and so trading him is going to yield way less value.

OEL is on a team that is at the bottom of the league in offensive production. They have always been a defensive first team, but unlike Dallas they don't have horses to start scoring tons of goals. I am not sure how OEL has managed 40+ points year in and year out, but maybe Arizona is catching up with him.

Apart from these 2, you expectations are reasonable. Even with Benn, it's possible he turns it around, but for that to happen, Dallas has to figure this out.
