    Default B. Tkachuk for Gusev

    League in my signature.

    My Gusev and an 8th rounder for his Brady Tkachuk. Should I do this?

    Gusev would be minors eligible next season and a free extra keeper, Tkachuk isn’t minors eligible after 4 more games.

    By acquiring Tkachuk, I can only stream one spot for all my minors instead of two all year. Meaning: I have 6 NHL calibre minors that I’ve been bringing up and down so far this year in my two open spots. By doing this deal, I only have 1 spot...so I will lose roughly 4 extra man games a week.

    Is this worth it for me?

    Thank you, I will rep everybody.

    I absolutely do this. Tkachuk is a very strong category filler with your settings, while Gusev is still figuring things out. Maybe he does, but if so, he won't fill more than your assist column. He's not a shooter, goal scorer, hitter or pims guy. He has hype (which is fading) while Tkachuk is a guy you buy in a multicat for sure!

    Yes, acquire Tkachuk! In any hits league, guys who can score and get hits are golden. Even if Gusev heats up, he is going to be a huge black hole in hits.

    If you can acquire Tkachuk, do it.

    I'm in the minority. I'd rather have an extra streaming slot give you have Gusev, Necas, Makar and Samsanov.

    This deal only makes sense if BT is a keeper for you, and I don't think he is...

    That’s what I was thinking too, but the majority is against it. Now I’m confused. And you are right, I don’t see how Brady becomes a keeper for me.

    My personal belief is the majority is just being swayed by Brady's name - yes, he's much better than Gusev right now. But that doesn't mean this trade makes your team better. Given your rookie rules and ability to stream, I think you hurt yourself with this trade. I think your team is worse this year, plus you are throwing away a free keeper and a free streamer next year. I'd be asking for more to make this deal given Gusev is rookie eligible next year and given NJ might figure things out.

    This is tough.

    1. Tkachuk is better than Gusev, especially in your format. This is not really debatable.

    2. I do see a way that Tkachuk becomes a keeper without injuries, and that's by beating out Svechnikov. This may or may not happen.

    3. The loss of the shuttle spot hurts. I think of it as shuttle to/from minors, rather than streaming from the wire. However, acquiring Tkachuk means you could very probably make another move to deal a non-minors player for a minors-eligible player, and get back to 2 streaming spots.

    I'd take the Gusev for Tkachuk offer, and work on another followup deal where you get a streaming spot back.

    Get the best player in Tkachuk.

    Then manage to find another trade partner to solve your minor eligibility. Im sure you’ll do more trades during year so although short term you cant bring anyone up I’m pretty sure you can figure it out afterwards.

    If we offered you another guy other than tkachuk, say patrick kane for gusev, you’d accept in a heartbeat and figure out your streaming spots afterwards no?

    I'd take Tkachuk myself,; scorers who hit are so valuable in your league. Think an Ove-lite! I agree losing the streaming option hurts but there are ways to open that spot up through trades, making you a lot stronger down the road.

    I wouldn't count out him becoming a keeper by season's end either.
