Do it.
The piece of mind of not owning Gaborik is so worth it.
He wears more princess bandaids than my 3 year old daughter.
Not.......a ......fan.
Sorry. Got a little carried away there.
I am an admittedly frustrated Gaborik owner, and I\'m wondering if it\'s time to cut ties. I have a six-player blockbuster deal that I\'m considering sending to a fellow manager.

It is a roto keeper league, Yahoo format, with scoring stats of G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, and GWG. Full 23-man rosters and we keep 10 after each season. What are your thoughts?

I hear you, Elascom, which is exactly why I\'m looking to move Gaborik. My concern, though, is that I\'m trading away two elite talents (Staal and Gaborik) and I\'m not sure if I\'m getting any back. I want to make sure my frustration-induced bias against Gaborik isn\'t pushing me into a mistake.

I view Vanek as an elite talent but this deal in large part depends on what your team looks like beyond the players listed.
As is you would be giving up a 40-50 goal scorer in Gabby and a 35-45 goal scorer in Stall with Mueller also looking at 30 goals and with his best years still ahead.
Meanwhile you are getting Vanek who may well pop in 50 but at least should hit 40. Hemsky and Backstrom are both going to get you a heaping of assists and Backstrom also has his best years ahead. In that way Vanek also does as well.
I guess the question is do you need the goals you are giving up?

That is a good deal you have on the table. I\'d take it. Especially if G=A.
looks like a pretty fair deal to me.
and like Elascom said ... \"peace of mind\" you can\'t really put a price on that.

Hippy Oiler Fan, the rest of my team really needs everything right now! Over the last few seasons, though, I\'ve been the top goal-scoring team and about 4th or 5th in the league in assists. Other key keepers of mine include goal-scorers like Malkin, Nash and Phaneuf (goal-scorer for a dman)... oh yeah, Radulov too.
I\'m less concerned with specific stats than I am with acquiring the better assets. I\'m not exactly in a position yet to \"fine-tune.\"

I traded Gaborik early in the season this year for Vanek. I also had Gaborik all year last season. The peace of mind is worth it, plus Vanek is lighting it up and hardly ever misses a game. I would take the deal. Even if Gaborik were healthy all season he still may not outscore Vanek.

JB, there\'s more to the trade than just Gaborik for Vanek. What do you think of the trade overall?
