timonen and demitra for kovalchuk

[mclarenf1]

1 year league

who wins this trade? (if you consider a healthy demitra)

[andrewklassen]

I can\'t figure a healthy Demitra...it\'s like figuring a full season from Havlat.

So I figure...

Demitra = 65 points [80-85 points if healthy]
Timonen = 50 points

vs.

Kovalchuk = 80-90 points

Who will cover the loss of the D position on your roster? I know there are other categories...assuming it\'s the pool in your sig. Timonen and Demitra will have a much superior +/-.

I like the upside of Kovalchuk and the departure of a bandaid boy in Demitra, provided you can cover the D position with a 30-40 player.

i would cover timonen with one of these guys

Mike Green
Alexei Zhitnik
Rob Blake
Ed Jovanovski
Brett Clark
Ron Hainsey
Shane O\'Brien
Kris Russell
Brent Seabrook
Pavel Kubina
Chris Campoli
Bryan Berard
Paul Martin

I\'d do this in a heartbeat if I were getting Kovie.

If I were the Kovalchuk owner, I\'d laugh back at you.

[andrewklassen]

With the D options available this is an easy decision for you to go ahead. Will the other GM bite is another question.

[mclarenf1]

yea, thats wut i\'m waiting for, if only kovie didn\'t have that 3 point night, cuz right now demitra and kovalchuk are both at a point per game, and timonen is a good defenceman. we shall see and i\'ll report what happens, i hope this happens tho cuz that really strengthens my LW and then my new problem will be trying to strengthen my RW lol

[mclarenf1]

he says its tempting but he\'ll b short a LW, should i try timonen demitra kozlov for kovalchuk and spacek?
