I like this deal, but what does the Forum think?

[Bubba55]

Team in Sig. I'm sitting in 7th place, have games in hand over a lot of the front runners and I'm currently only 12 points out of first. I expect to be in the hunt for a championship, does this offer help make that happen?

I give: Debrincat, Risto and a 1st
I get: Q Hughes, Johnny Hockey and a 2nd

The picks will be close so I give up a bit but I'm not overly concerned about that. I honestly believe I'm getting the two best players in the deal....am I missing something??

I don't make the deal. I like Risto more than Hughes in your setting, and DeBrincat is basically equal to Gaudreau. Even without the picks in the deal I still wouldn't do it.

[Pengwin7]

If I understand,
ROTO, 14teams, 9cats for skaters, 3cats for goalies.

Is it a "full keeper"?
How do you feel you are doing in HIT+BLK?

Both Q.Hughes AND Gaudreau are superlight (and always will be) in PIM & HIT & BLK.
That can be hard... to roster a non-HIT, non-BLK defensemen.
Most people (I know) in PIM/HIT/BLK roto like all their Dmen to provide some value to those cats.
Teams sometimes have to roster guys like Kris Russell just to make up for the BLK lost by a guy like Quinn Hughes.

If it IS an upgrade on your team, you should finish 5th or north...
That makes the pick 8th-12th.
It's a pretty solid top end NHL entry draft in 2020... I think there's solid players there in top 10.

ROTO is VERY tough to evaluate...
You could be narrowly up in 8-9 cats and be 20pts back of first come Sunday morning.
Or you could be narrowly back in 8-9 cats and be T-1st come Sunday morning.

If you provide a full roto standings screenshot, I can give you a better opinion on your chances to compete.

It's a partial keeper, keep 25, we roster 35, so 10 drops and a 10 round draft.

I'm middle of the pack with both hits and blks. I think I can make up the hits with the forwards I have (Carrier, Lemieux, ZAR), blks could be a bit tougher I'd be streaming Matt Roy and Simak to help fill that cat. My weakest cat right now is assists.

If I could load a screen shot for you to look at, that would be awesome and very much appreciated. Problem is, I don't know how to do that ): I have the stats in pdf format, how can I add it to this post? Need help!

When you post there should be some text icons.
One has a picture of a tree, you can often upload or link an internet image using that, if you can get your image to internet site.
If you have a small enough PDF, you can attach.

You have to click the "Go Advanced" button to the bottom right of your typing screen (right now) when you are typing a reply.
If you find that, it should open up a paper-clip-icon so you can attach.
The PDF has to be a small certain size though.

I'll give it a shot.

I guess it worked, I'm assuming you can download it to your PC, it doesn't open in a window on this site. Anyway, let's see what happens (:

It did work, Opened up for me in Acrobat Reader.

I think I'd pass on this deal, as I think Hughes is the #4 player in this deal.

[Bubba55]

I have declined the offer. I was hoping Pengwin7 might get back with his take, but I have a feeling it would likely be the same as the other responses. As I looked at this more closely I agree, this wouldn't help me, one step forward and one step back, so, pass. Thanks all!!!
