Pastrnak and Paccioretty for Zibanejad and Panarin?

[flyers94]

I was offered this trade. I would keep Pastrnak obviously going forward. Would you guys take this? I feel like as soon as I trade Z-bad he’s going to start going off. Thoughts?

Pastrnak is definitely the best player in the deal.

But it comes down to how much better Pastrnak is in comparison to Panarin.
There isn't a huge difference between those two as long as Panarin is healthy.

Since there is not much of a difference in my opinion between the two.


How much of a difference is there between Pacioretty and Zibanejad?

Pacioretty is 32 and aging - so not sure he can keep up his current pace all year
Zibanejad is younger and has one great year and one good year - can he be great again?

Overall I think the trade is fair and it depends which risk you are more willing to take:

1) Trading away Zibanejad and him becoming great again for the rest of the year.

2) Not Trading for Pacioretty and him remaining his current pace while Zibanejad continues to suck.

But all of this risk could be mitigated if you feel that Pastrnak is going to outproduce Panarin enough that either of the risks above are worth it - which is close - especially with Panarin currently injured and who knows what kind or how long it lingers.

I'd take it, as I like Pastrnak as a keeper over Panarin by a little bit, and the other guys are one year players.
