    Default Would You Trade Any of These Guys for 1st or 2nd Overall in 2020?

    I've got a big ol' mancrush on Byfield and Lafreniere. This is for a dynasty league with an identical set up to the one in my signature. Of the following players (all from my roster), are there any you would trade straight up for the 1st or 2nd overall pick in this year's draft (i.e. Lafreniere or Byfield)?

    1. Pettersson
    2. A. Svechnikov
    3. Huberdeau
    4. Marner
    5. Aho

    Also, if you own the 1st or 2nd overall pick in your dynasty league, are there any players from the above list you'd take 1 for 1 in exchange for it?

    TIA, I'll rep anyone who provides a thoughtful answer.

    I'd consider huberdeau. I think you can even ask for a small add, but that core is all.in the 20-23 range and hubs is 27 I think. I think laffy is going to be just like hubs as a player, maybe a little higher ceiling, but I would use hubs as a baseline comparable for him, stats wise. If your team is a top contender, maybe it wouldn't make sense but 1-1 I would probably do it.


    On the flip side, I think I'd trade byfield for all.of them head up and laffy for marner and probably svech. Petterason I'd day is a coin flip

    Personally, I would keep all those guys before I'd deal them for the 1st or 2nd.

    You know what you have with every one of those guys and I think I'm confident when I say they haven't reached their prime years yet. Sure, both Lafreniere and Byfield are sexy prospects but I'd rather have the sure thing.

    Unless your league awards points mainly based on the youngest age of players, I'd stick with what you have.

    Reason argueably speaks against such a move. Why give a star to acquire a POTENTIAL star?

    This said, it's all a question if your priorities. If you like to swing for the fences and aren't too hard on yourself if you miss and you consider the upside of Lexi and Quinton to be bigger than the one of one of the players you already own, you might as well make this trade. In this case I'd agree with what was said above that Huberdeau should be the one you send. He is underrated and probably not worse than e.g. Marner, but he simply holds less name value than the other guys. So sending him is the best asset management imo.

    And finally, if you really have a man crush on these guys and want this to really be "your" team, you probably even owe it to yourself to make the deal.
    So again, it's your priorities that matter. For a cold business like decision: keep your guys. For a fun swing at the fences that might fall a tad short, but lands your your man crush(es): go for it.

    All are no brainers to me Except huberdeau, And that’s only depending on your teams age/window. You g established producers. I’m 2nd pick in my league and I’d take any of them straight up in a heartbeat

    You should not trade any of these players for those picks. Trading a sure thing for a maybe often doesn't work out.

    Keep what you have. Huberdeau's name was the only one that stuck out to me as a possibility. But if Lafreniere/Byfield's near best result is to become what Huberdeau already is, better to remove the risk from the equation and go with the proven commodity. Gaining Lafreniere's age 19-26 seasons is tempting. But you'd have to receive more than just Lafreniere for Huberdeau, to make up for the risk and for the production lost in waiting for Lafreniere to fully develop. Jack Hughes will probably be great. But if you traded for him a year ago hoping he would contribute to your 2019-2020 team, you gambled and lost a year. You need to receive more than just a #1 or #2 pick for any of those five you mentioned.

    I'd rank the options from maybe it can work out (Huberdeau) to crazy and likely stupid ( the rest).

    I'd take any of them for the #1, unless I was rebuilding a brutal team, and then I'd want more than Huberdeau, because his name value isn't good.

    every year the first overall is always the hot topic. I made that mistake last year and traded an already established star for Jack Hughes. Just make sure you know that taking the 1st overall pick means they will produce in year 3-4 only (exception are McDavid, Crosby, etc). Those guys only happen once a decade, and i don't think Lafreniere is one that will produce right off the bat. Expect 55-60 pts tops

    If you really want the shiny new toy in fantasy, i'd do it for Huberdeau. And there if you are to gamble i'd just take Byfield too instead of Laffy. Fantasy wise if your league counts hits, PIMS, SOG, etc, Byfield may become that monster player.

    Avoid the "shiny new toy" hype. I learned that from Jack Hughes last year, haha.

    If anyone offered me any of the above for my 1st, and I have it in 2 leagues, I’d take it in a heartbeat. You’re already getting a guy who is a PPG talent for unproven kid. With the exception of Hubs, I’m surprised you wouldn’t have to have a small add, TBH.

    Much like everyone else, I wouldn’t trade any of those players for 1st/2nd OA. Hubs would be the one I would consider if you must do it, but I would advise against it unless somehow Edmonton wins 1st OA (dear lordy, please don’t let that happen) and Laffy plays with McJesus....then look out
