Carlson/Hischier for Scheifele/Chabot

[Mitch Marner's Smelling Salts]

First year of a keep 16 keeper (Based on real life contract status. Team in sig).

Trade is:

My Carlson and Hischier
for
His Scheifele and Chabot

Am I wrong in thinking this is a good deal? I know Carlson's on an all time heater, but long term I think Chabot is a better play for my team. He hasn't hit his prime and Carlson's only going to go downhill from here right? And I can't see any scenario where Hischier gives me more than Scheifele. Currently sitting in 4th, but well back of 1st so I'm thinking this isn't going to be the year and I should do what I can to set myself up for future success.

Thoughts?

I know a lot of people will agree with you as people seem to not value Carlson around here but he's only 29 soon to be 30. Yes some key cogs are going to be slowing down like Ovi/Backstrom but they still have Kuzy and Vrana as well. I think Carlson could maintain a 65 point + pace for the next 3 years before dipping.

Now for the Nico vs Schiefele debate. There's no dough that Schiefele is quite a bit better but I do think Nico with Hall leaving will take the next step. Still looking at all the parts, I think I like the Chabot side better but by much and this trade could go either way.

I would do it.

Chabot < Carlson (for this year and probably 2-3 more years but after that they'll be similar for 2 more years, then Chabot is the man)

Scheifele > Hischier (I'd say always, so you win that side)

I would say the trade is fair right now and you win in the future.

I'd hold Carlson. He's the best player in the deal and will be for the next few years.

This is a very far offer but I think the gap between Scheifele and Hischier will close.

At first, I thought this was a salary league, in which case I'd more likely move Carlson - but it looks like salary is irrelevant.

Salary's irrelevant, but contract status isn't. At the summer keeper deadline, for a first time keeper, the max keeper length is the length of his current/extended contract (i.e. keeping Chabot will allow me to keep him through 2027-28, but Kakko can only be kept through 2021-22, which clearly I will do and trade him once he's signed an extension). I was hesitant to trade Carlson for sure, but I'm concerned that Washington in general is getting older (and might lose Backstrom this offseason). Ottawa can't really get much worse so it's only up from here.
