My league is a head to head league with a categories point system. There are 14 teams in the league so goalies are extremely scarce and valuable. The categories are as follows:

Forwards/Defenseman-
Goals, assists, +-, PPP, SHP, SOG

Goalies-
Wins, saves, GAA, SV%, SO


My team is:
Backstrom
Getzlaf
Marchand
Mantha
P.Kane
Nylander
Kadri
Shipachyov
Connor
Here
Ellis(IR)

Hedman
Ekblad
Trouba
Klingberg

Gibson
Bishop
Howard

I like both trades for you ....but prefer trade 2. Aho should pick it up and Pavelski will outperform Nylander.

Yea goalies are really valuable in this league that?s why I like the Murray deal cuz we both know Elliot could lose his job at any minute. It?s just tough giving away backstrom.. I do it every year and he always goes on a tear. As for the other deal, I love nylander, I just love owning him/owning a leaf. I?m also worried about pavelski.. San Jose looks in shambles and so does Montreal, hence why I?m worried about him as well. I feel I lose short term but gain huge long term.
