I just got offered Auston Matthews and William Nylander for Patrick Kane. Should I even be considering this, or am I just blinded by leafs fandom?

Guaranteed Nick suzuki. I don't really care to have 2 streaming spots (Dvorak, suzuki and i guess i could say Rust also).
Dropping the second player doesn't bother me. My issues are as follows
1) not sure how even the trade itself is
2) Kane gets really good PIMs
2) this would add a dedicated center to my roster (although it would also add center eligibility to my winger). This means I'd likely have to figure out what to do with one of Larkin, Eichel, Zibanejad or Barzal.
Shopping Larkin would be a) near impossible right now, and b) a huge hit to my faceoff wins. The other centers are probably better, but I'd basically need to either get lucky to convert one to a good winger or hope to convince someone to trade me a better centre 2 for 1 with two of my centers.

In a 2C/4W/1util... you can probably roll 3C/4W... and the other guy is probably overstocked at C and just wants to upgrade his W.
This is mostly about long-term scheduling.
With Eichel(C1),Zibanejad(C2),Larkin&Barzal(Util:C3/C4, depends on opponents)
If you roster Matthews(C2, bumping everybody down)... you have to find out how many times you "BENCH" Larkin and/or Barzal.
Because of your roster set-up... I can't say I like this.
If you could first acquire a guy like Tyler Seguin (who just got C/RW status)... even-up for say Zibanejad... then you've got flexibility to make the trade.
Right now, though, it's a NO for me... because you'll bench good C... and you don't have wing-depth to make up that loss.
Yeah. Disappointing as it is, I probably should stick with my team.It would be really nice to have a leaf though. Big leafs fan, but don't have a single one on my roster. Had to drop Johnsson for underperforming.

If you are a huge Leafs fan and you want to cheer Matthews and Nylander then, by all means, make the trade. Fantasy hockey is supposed to be fun! As far as value goes this deal is in the right ballpark. Just know you will likely have to make a secondary move to balance out your positions.
- I said... "God damn this tablet is heavy!"
Nobody is going to improve on Pengwin7's advice. Dang. The guy is the Yoda of fantasy hockey. I'll just say "ditto" and try to look half as smart.

Yeah. That's definitely the temptation, but I'm in it to win it. If I was sure I could do the secondary move I would, but with the exception of this guy, nobody else in the league seems inclined to make trades.

Would any of the following players balance this trade out if I traded Zibanejad for them?
T.Teravainen
A.Svechnikov
J.Gaudreau
T.Hall
I could also possibly get T.Seguin (as suggested above)

Don’t mean to be a pain, just want to know what people think of the above
I have a possible trade of Barzal for Gaudreau.
makes it an effective trade of:
Side A: Patrick Kane, Matt Barzal and Nick Suzuki
Side B: Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Johnny Gaudreau
Is this a prudent move, or just stick with the red hot Kane (wow that sounds dirty...)
