Give Gaudreau & Kaprizov to Get Pettersson & Mikheyev?

[Rockies & Hockeys]

For top team in my sig, would you do this? I'll be one of the top few teams this year. Is the drop from Kap to Mik worth getting Pettersson for Gaudreau?

I think not. It's scoring only, and wings are scarcer. I know Mikheyev will score the least, but the other 3 could end up in any order - I'd expect Kaprizov to be behind the other 2, but if he outscored one of them it wouldn't shock me.

Because you have Matthews and McDavid, I would say no. I like the trade for you, but I don't think you need to do the deal.

Now if you end up moving Pettersson/McDavid/Matthews in a secondary deal in the near future, I would say do this deal and plan to move one of your centers. I know you start 3C, but having 3C keepers really limits what you can do.

Thanks guys! Ended up moving Kaprizov & a 12th for Mikheyev and a 1st. The 1st is a nice piece, and it saves me from being stuck with too many C keepers.

What overall pick is that 1st roughly? I think this trade is prolly better for you in general going into this yr. I'm pretty iffy on any top player moves this yr. I dunno why, but I just don't know about some players.
