When (percieved) good trades go bad

[NYR9394]

So, A few days ago I traded Rick Nash, Devin Setoguchi, David Krejci and J.M. Liles for Pavel Datsyuk and Dany Heatley. The trade left me with 2 open roster spots and alot of flexibility. I chose to pick up Vinny Prospal and Slava Kozlov with those empty roster spots.

So, now since the trade we have:

David Krejci- 2GP- 2g,3a = 5pts.(including today\'s game)
Devin Setoguchi- 1GP- 1G, 2A = 3pts.
Rick Nash- N/A
J.M. Liles- 1GP- 0 points.

Combined 8 points in 4GP

for

Pavel Datsyuk- 1GP- 1g, 1a = 2pts.
Dany Heatley- 1GP- 0g, 1a = 1 pt.
Slava Kozlov- 2GP- 0g, 3a = 3pts.(including today)
Vinny Prospal- 2GP- 1g, 1a = 2pts.

Combined 8 points in 6GP.


Should I be a bit concerned that basically 2 1/2 guys(Nash isnt playing and Liles is a d-man) have the same amount of points as Datsyuk, Heatley, Kozlov & Prospal? Or is this just a case of bad luck to start out?

You can\'t judge a trade by 2 games. Don\'t worry by the end of the season you will be ahead with this deal

I agree with leafnation, by the end of the year you will be much farther a head.
