Trade offered - good, bad, counter?

[Carlito99]

I was just offered Pavelec + Toffoli + Vanek for my Schneider + Lupul. I am in need of some offensive scoring help, but not sure how this looks. Any thoughts on a good counter that would help my offense, and start with a base of Schneider+ for Pavelec+? Preferably an even trade so I don't have to add/drop anyone as moves are limited

He has:

LW: Lucic, B. Richards (C/LW), Vanek (LW/RW)
C: Kopitar, Stepan, Lehtera
RW: Hornqvist, Wheeler, Toffoli
D: Shattenkirk, Seabrook, Brodie
G: Miller, Pavelec
IR: Sharp (C/LW), McDonagh (D)

Decline.
Schneider has had some rough starts... but he's a beauty player to own.
Your forwards are fine considering your limited allowed starting roster... Toffoli/Vanek doesn't do much if you are only starting 4F per night.

Schneider + Andersen (off-nights) is just a beauty tandem in this format.
I bet you lead the league thus far in Games Started from your Goalie Slot.

Since Lupul is on IR+, wouldn't you also have to drop two guys if you accept?

Yeah I really like my goalie setup with a workhorse in Schneider and then the off-night Anaheim guys like you said. Just wondering if it's worth taking a downgrade in net to up the offense a bit. Interesting, yeah I wouldn't be surprised. Any way to check that in Yahoo? Guess I should take your advice and decline, and see how things look once Hedman & Lupul are back in the near future. That could help out my weak areas

Yeah good point. I would, but I'd have to drop someone to activate him whenever he comes back anyways

I would do the trade - reason is that P Maurice has instituted a solid defensive game plan and Wpg goalies are relevant now - won't lose much vs Schneider in stats.
Pavelac is #1 in Wpg. Vanek is good in H2H as he is streaky and can win weeks by himself and Toffoli gives you a solid player as well.
Lupul is too much of a bandaid boy for me.

Yahoo! has some decent tools, even for H2H leagues.
On the standings page, you can actually click the "Current Standings" drop down tab and then click "Head-to-Head Stats".
From there, you should be able to click through different "Win-Loss" records as well as "Totals".
Unf, the "Totals" won't show you total GP if you don't have it as a cat, but it will show Wins... a decent representation of Games Played.

This is actually one of my favourite tools in H2H, because I can size up where my team ranks for full stats vs. my next opponent.

Hm yeah interesting. He was my #3 pick though, so I'm thinking if I were to give him up I'd want maybe 1 higher end forward, but I may sit on what I have for a bit and see what happens after some guys return from injuries. Probably best to deal Schneider (if I was ever going to) after he goes on a bit of a nice win streak with good peripherals

Thanks yeah that's where I checked as well but it didn't say unfortunately. I'm 2nd in wins and 2nd in saves (and being 2nd in saves with the Ana goalies who generally don't face too many shots gives me a good idea of that). Guy who is first in saves had Lehtonen (recently traded him), and both Edmonton goalies who face a lot of shots... And the leader in wins had Rask (part of the recent Lehtonen trade) and Howard
