Datsyuk, Brassard for Vrbata, Upshall & Stafford

[captaincheat]

I get Datsuyk, Brassard and a second round pick
I give up Vrbata, Upshall and Stafford.
It\'s a keeper, cap league.
What do you guys think?
I really didn\'t want to give up Stafford, but Datsuyk is worth it ...imo...

I\'d make this deal in a heartbeat.

I have noticed that one sleeps better when they have Datsyuk on their fantasy squad.

I always hesitate to give advice when I don\'t have your pool\'s rules (scoring system, number of keepers, etc.), but without any information I\'d say you\'re making a great trade here... If Datsyuk plays like he did in the playoffs last year, he could challenge for the Art Ross this year.

Like angus always says: quality over quantity.

the datsyuk side is definitely the quality side. Take it without a second thought.

There is always more to it isn\'t there.....Every league has different rules, so a little back ground. Our\'s is a cap league. We auction players off with a cap. $33 to get 36 players. Tenders tend to go for more just because they are in short supply.
Stafford, Vrbata and Upshall are all .10. Brassard is a prospect (we draft two every year. You max out at 5)
Datsyuk is 2.95

So, I think this evens things up quite a bit. I have quite a few cheap, young prospects, so I felt like I could make this move.

I had the pleasure of having a few beers with a young NHLer 2 weeks ago and asked him who the most skilled player he\'s played against is.

He didn\'t pause to think... he passed over both Crosby and Ovechkin to name Datsyuk as hands down the most talented guy he\'s seen from ice level.

With that in mind, I think you won the trade!
