Would you trade P. Kane for Vasilevskiy?

[knoble]

For 1st team in sig. 25 man roster, keep 15.

goals, assists are 1 point, bonus point for power play points.

goalies are 2 points for a win, 7 points for a shutout

Start 2 C, 2 LW, 2 RW, 2 F, 4 D, 1 F/D, 2 G with daily line up changes

Other GM has been after Kane, I have declined all offers so far. There was an offer of Kane and a couple picks for Vas and a couple picks. I declined but wondering if this is something I should consider. I would drop Bob and replace him with Vas if I made this deal. I usually like running 3 top goalies but Bob has been a huge disappointment. (I picked him up for basically a 4th round pick so was worth the risk I thought)
Will Kane bounce back if/when he gets traded? Will I be a little thin at RW by making this deal?
I still believe Vas is a top goalie but can fluctuate from year to year like all goalies.
Maybe I am better to keep Kane as I already have both Ottinger and Helly?
Any advice is appreciated.

Depends a little on the picks but yes I would do that.

You should easily be able to flip one of those goalies (if you feel 3 high end guys are too much) for a significant upgrade at F over Kane.

Goalies don't seem to be super valuable in trades in this league. Georgiev was just moved for a late 1st round pick 2 years from now. Some GM's thought it was too little, some thought it was fair. I actually like running 3 top end goalies and keeping all 3. I like not having to worry about my goalie situation just not sure if Kane is starting on his decline or not and don't want to be thin at RW.

In your specific situation I'd keep Kane, due to your RW issues.

[knoble]

So the current offer on the table from the other GM is
his Vasilievskiy and Clayton Keller
for my
Patrick Kane and Dougie Hamilton

Keller replaces Kane at RW for my team which is helpful but not sure if I want to lose Hamilton. Having a solid d core is a luxury and there aren't a lot of options on waivers so losing Hamilton would hurt especially with Klingberg on the IR and not performing well and hroneck with a good chance of regressing soon.
I am not sure if replacing Hamilton with Andersson would be something I should try or even if he would go for that.
More thoughts are appreciated.

Final offer is
My P. Kane, Klingberg and E. Kane for his Vas and C. Keller.
Too much to give up?

This is Vasilevskiy we are talking about. Do it!

P.Kane will have some other good seasons but probably not 100 points seasons anymore. We don’t know what will E.Kane will look after this terrible wrist injury. And Klingberg is good but not elite.

Vasilevskiy is top 3 best goalie in the league and Keller is a very good PPG young forward.

I think this is a very good trade for you. You are getting the best player by far and having 3 elite goalies is a very nice thing to have.

[Grapes]

E.Kane’s value is in leagues with hits, shots and pims. Not so much points only leagues. Keller for Evander is a good trade off.
P.Kane for Vasilevskiy is a win for you. Solidifies your goaltending with 3 solid tenders.
Klingberg is the cost of the trade. I’d make the trade for Vasilevskiy. Just my. 2 cents worth.

[stevegamer]

I'd make that deal. Klingberg is the throw in to make it happen.

[knoble]

I accepted the deal. There was a little extra that wasn't mentioned, I also received a 4th round pick and gave an 8th, so a little bonus.
Thanks for the help.

I would do that! In a heartbeat!

One- yes this is vasy were talking about i almost burst a blood vessel reading all these non commital maybe type answers haha! Its not a matter of if hell turn it around its when and hes the best in the business!

Losing klingberg hurts but ita light years better than losing Hamilton. I felt like Hamilton is a cleverly disguised top 5 dman for the rest of the year lol!

Losing Kane hypothetically hurts but his age, style and injury history make im am a perennial gamble AND you still have to worry about him tanking his NHL career through his actions off the ice lol! Hes a great high sog asset (for now) but he's very volatile. I'm glad you got back keller back as he at least has a penchant for shooting and he definitely has another gear or even two he can reach!

When Kane is traded there will be pain but you got vasy. Heck you even got a future replacement for him for a couple useful but "warty" pieces.

I might have taken the original but you did a good job to keep Hamilton out and include keller- brilliant!
