    Default Package for Pasta

    10-team, keep 8, points only.

    Would you trade Tavares and the first overall pick in the prospect draft (Lafreniere) for Pastrnak?

    I think I would rather the Tavares side.

    In points-only I would lean towards the Tavares / Lafreniere side in this deal.
    In a keep 8 would having both Tavares and Laffy mean you lose a stout keeper option?
    So just be sure you arent biting off one hand to feed another.

    I usually side with 'take the best player in the deal' (Pasta) and usually don't look too far ahead but in this case I will.

    Bergeron and Marchand don't have too many years left and Boston will have to rebuild. Tavares will have at least 3-4 more good years on the Leafs and Lafreniere is going to be a stud on a decent team.

    I'll take the Tavares / Laf side here.

    JT/laffy for me too. This could be an elite for a potential elite + an elite or almost elite tavares. If that pick wasn't laffy but was a later 1st then maybe that would be a toss up or even side towards pasta.

    If you look at as a 2-for-2, it’s Tavares and Lafreniere, for Pastrnak AND whichever of your keepers that you can no longer keep. I’m not saying it’s a bad deal, but let’s say your #8 keeper is Bjorkstrand or Hamilton or Erik Karlsson. (Those would be my 3 choices to cut in MY keep-8...). I think I’d still do this, but for sure look at the unintended consequences.

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    I'd be curious to know who your other keepers are and if Lafreniere can push any of them out of your situation.

    I was fully expecting everyone else to take the Pasta side because he's right now the best player, and a top guy in the league that's near impossible to acquire otherwise.

    Some more details on the situation would be helpful.

    I prefer Tavares and Lafreniere over Pasta unless it's a cap league with actual NHL salaries. Pasta's salary would be worth acquiring in that type of league.
