Hyman for M. Tkachuk?

[winstonmargot]

For the team in my sig, I've been offered M. Tkachuk for my Hyman, should I take it? Why or why not? Thanks!

I would absolutely be smashing that accept button. We've already seen some movement of the lines in EDM which had Poolman playing up with McDavid and Drai. Hyman's value really comes from him playing with one of those two. Tkachuk on the other hand is a main man in CGY and will always very likely be playing alongside Johnny and Lindholm as well as on the PP. Tkachuk will also get you substantially more shots and hits than Hyman will.

Agreed. Tkachuk gets you everything and remains a key cog in Calgary.

I'd do that - pair the Tkachuks!

Take it, run and hide, because you will soon be wanted for grand larceny.

In a one year league, this might be worth reviewing at the end of the season. I wont be surprised if Hyman isn't damn close to Tkachuk production when it's all said in done.

I'm with Axe. It's much closer if - and it is an if - Hyman stays on PP1. Tkachuk of course is locked into PP1, but those seasons where he posted 72+ look more and more like outliers.
