Re: Who wins this trade
It completely depends on the league, scoring, YOUR roster and roster size, prospects/players available on WW etc....
So, in some of my deep dynasty leagues, especially where I am competing to win or with a lot of teams and thus long rounds, I might very well move a very good forward prospect for D prospect. I wouldn't move like a Zegras, Lafreniere, Dach type of prospect. But Norris is a different matter. Romanov is one of those prospects I would consider moving a Norris for. What this would depend on for me is how bad do I need another D man? Would it be easier to replace Norris as a prospect compared to Romanov? And I usually find, D's like Romanov are harder to come by than forwards like Norris. Like, I was still able to pick up a Tomasino, Pelletier, etc... off the WW at the end of last year. For example, I got Barzal fairly cheaply the year he broke out because there were so many forward prospects that year, and no one knew which ones would likely succeed beyond the top 10 or so. But guys like Tomasino, Pelletier etc..they would all have been taken in this year's draft, in which case it's unlikely I would have gotten Tomasino. So end of the year I usually am able to grab a nice forward prospect who will almost certainly go in the following year's draft. These are usually guys drafted the year you are playing, who breakout back in the OHL or something to gain value for the following year.
But D's like Romanov are scarcely available. There are usually far less likely successful higher end D prospects than forward prospects. And the way I determine that is like how sure of a thing are they. Romanov is as close to a sure thing, outside of the Makars and Dhalins as there is. I would feel MUCH better having a guy like Romanov than say, Lassi Thomson, Harley etc... Where as I am fairly ok with a guy like Tomasino, McMichael, Zary, or in the past like Foudy or Suzuki maybe relative to Norris. While D men are usually not worth as much as equivalent forwards, they are also far more difficult to predict and far less likely to be productive. So if there was a guy like Romanov or maybe KAndre Miller, who looked like they stood a high chance of succeeding and becoming at least fantasy relevant, I might very well make that deal and then look to pick up a late 1st round Center or Forward that people might not be paying as much attention to relative to like Byfield or Zegras etc.... Make sense? In leagues with prospects, I constantly try to acquire forward prospects as cheaply as possible, because latter 1st round guys tend to go pretty cheaply compared to near sure thing D men with offensive potential.
Please help with mine, thanks: https://forums.dobbersports.com/show...91#post2101091
