Yandle or Lidstrom trade

[always420]

I give my first rounder (technically 7th round) for Yandle straight up?

Since we only keep six, would Yandle be my sixth keeper? I'm in the mix for the top 3 this season and Yandle would give me a nice boost.....

OR

Do I trade my 2nd rounder straight up for Lidstrom who I won't keep (but which allows me to keep Visnovsky or Shattenkirk and still get a boost this year)?


my team/league:

13 Team Keeper ROTO (keep 6; keepers in bold; G, A, PPP, SHP, +/-, PIM, FW, W, GAA, Saves, SV%, SO)
C (2): Stamkos, Getzlaf (IR), Bergeron
RW (2): Alfredsson, Brown, Hejduk
LW (2): Heatley, Hartnell
D (4): Visnovsky, Pitkanen, Karlsson, Suter, Shattenkirk, Markov (IR)
G (2): Howard, Rinne, Brodeur

Thoughts?

I don't like that first deal. Maybe Yandle is an upgrade but he comes at the expense of whoever you'd drop (Karlsson/Shatt/Other) and that pick. No way in hell he's that big of an upgrade.

Second deal doesn't make much sense either. Your D is loaded, do you need to buy Lidstrom at such a high point?

Passes all around.

Thanks metaldude. Always value your advice.

Just putting this out there, what if it was Yandle for my second rounder? Dobber and Angus are hyping Yandle big time in the ramblings these days - am I just buying into their hype? Is Yandle the second coming of Mike Green? Is Yandle worth a second round pick and a spot as my number 6 keeper? He helps me this season and in the future, but at the expense of keeping Visnovsky or Shattenkirk, both of whom I could redraft though I'm sure. I would probably drop Pitkanen if I got him.

Or maybe I'm better off sending my second rounder for a RW (and then drop Hejduk)....

I've been hyping him for the past few years, not just recently. He's for real.

Not the same as Green - better defensively, more physical. Not as good offensively.

Thanks for chiming in angus!

So, is Yandle worth a second round pick (in a keep 6 league) and is he worth keeping over Shattenkirk, Visnovsky or Karlsson???
