    Default Datsyuk/Statsny for Ovechkin

    Hi...really hard one to figure out here and any help would be greatly appreciated...

    In a yahoo match-up league (10teams)with the following stats:
    G, A, P, +/-, PIM, PPG, PPA, PPP, SHG, SHA, GWG, SOG, W, GAA, SA, SV%, SHO

    the following positions:
    2C, 2LW, 2RW, 2F, 4D, 2UTIL, 2G, 9BN
    allowed 15 keepers.

    Here\'s my team (all positions are current Yahoo positions)
    C: Eric Staal, Jordan Staal, Ryan Getzlaf, Nathan Horton, Mikko Koivu, Jarret Stoll
    LW: Alexander Ovechkin, Zach Parise, Jussi Jokinen, Martin Erat, Sean Avery
    RW: Milan Hejduk, Chris Neil, Corey Perry, Darcy Tucker, Jason Pominville
    D: Lubomir Visnovsky, Kevin Bieksa, Shea Weber, Erik Johnson, Marc-Andre Bergeron, Mike Green

    Goaltenders
    Niklas Backstrom, Ryan Miller, Kari Lehtonen

    A team offered Pavel Datsyuk and Paul Statsny for my Alexander Ovechkin. His team only has 2 LW total and 8 centres.

    He also threw in his 2nd round draft pick for my last draft pick in next years draft.

    I know this trade is super fair. But it\'s so hard to give up a big name like Alexander Ovechkin. He\'s a LW and that\'s probably the most difficult position to fill. Although my LW is stonger than my RW because of Alexander alone.

    Can anybody see why I shouldn\'t accept this trade??

    Team:

    LW: Ovechkin, Parise, A. Kostitsyn, S. Kostitsyn, M. Michalek, Huselius, Avery

    That is a really fair trade, and I love Stastny and Datsyuk, which all makes it hard to say no. But do it.

    It\'s a keeper right? And you already have some real decent goal-scoring centers in the Staal bros, Getzlaf, and Horton. Adding 2 more centers is huge overkill when you can only start 2 at a time.

    Also, Ovechkin is an elite talent... you may never see a LW come along with his kind of scoring ability, especially this early in his career. And your LWs, without him, aren\'t exactly overwhelming.

    Say no to that trade. The only way it would maybe be fathomable was if you were getting another great LW back instead of, say, Datsyuk (like Kovy-Stastny, or Vanek-Stastny).

    You get 15 keepers, so my advice to you is to write down the 15 you think you would maybe keep at the end, and if its looking bleak when it comes down the the end of 15, maybe you might want quantity of good keepers over quality? Just give it a try. If it makes no difference, I say keep Ovechkin, just because a LW that good is pretty rare.

    Thanks for all the help guys, especially anonymous kool-aid guy...
    I was doing what you told me and if I performed the trade I\'d be keeping 6 centres...and that\'s way too much...and then I\'d have a huge dilemma on how to not keep...

    You guys just saved me a whole lot of grief!!!
