Vanek/Chara for Morrow/Gonchar

[WhoDAT]

i would be giving up morrow/gonchar or i was thinking of offering perry/gonchar instead and trying to get a draft pick for next season as well... what do you guys think am i asking too much... i know he wants to win this year so by giving him gonchar i know he thinks he can

Gonchar has 3-4 years left at a high level. Chara will be around for a while, but is a signifigant downgrade. Although he will help PIM. Getting Vanek for Morrow in a keeper is pretty good.

Keeper
Gonchar >> Chara factoring age
Vanek >> Morrow long term

I would be hesistant to do this deal in a keeper but it is close. Normally the best player wins when it is close, and it is hard to determine if the best player is Gonchar or Vanek.

You lose 20-30 pts between Chara and Gonchar but gain long term with Vanek over Morrow, not necessarily short term.

I could be way off base here but I think you stay with what you have. Keep Gonchar and Morrow and try to get Vanek a different way.

Could you sell Michalek and Morrow/Kunitz for Vanek while he is slumping?
