I love Bouchard, but losing Zibanejad leaves a gaping hole at center for you. He’s really the only reliable guy you’ve got playing that position right now. It’s not a bad trade, but I think it is a bad trade for your team.

I'm as big a Bouch-liever as anyone, but in your format that's a lateral move in terms of the players but where you a subtracting from an area of weakness (centre) to add to an area of strength (defense) while putting yourself in the position of having to potentially bench two defensemen on any given day. Unless you are able to turn around and flip one of your defensemen for a forward, I'm not sure this is a move I'd make.
