yes

you have plenty of help at center. I see you have W and F starting positions. You can plug in Kovy in either slot.

I like Kovy alot better than I do Spezza. The trade does not hurt you and I believe you'll be a satisfied owner of Kovy in the near future

if you were asking if you should take Spezza for Kovalchuik i'd say yea...can't say Kovalchuk's situation is one i'd advocate anyone else to get into at the expense of a point per game option in Spezza..no in my opinion for a one year league

[Straight Chillin]

I think you're pretty solid at wing right now anyway. Why add a player with a question mark around his head for someone like Spezza who will only better serve your team in the long run?

That being said, I could eat my words if Spezza goes down (like he tends to do) and Kovalchuk starts to heat up.

lol...yeah, that's one of the reason's why i was considering this...spezza is a bit of a band-aid boy...

[Straight Chillin]

I think that these other factors make it a great roll of the dice move. You can't predict Spezza's health and you can't predict if/when Kovalchuk wakes up this season. Go with your gut.

with 2 C start...Spezza had more value to you than Kovalchuk does since oyou'd otherwise be forced to rely on Pavelski/Ribiero consistently as #2 center option where as you have over-stacked LW and RW option and are only required to start 1 of each specifically along w/ 4 F...keep Spezza

I've got to agree with MT. Keep Spezza. He's a superstar, and his current cold streak is likely to end in a big way soon. I don't like what I see from Kovy or the Devils, and I wouldn't get involved in that mess this year (I drafted 3 Devils, and believe me, I've regretted it). They could shake it, but why risk it?

[Straight Chillin]

I still think I'd rather roll the dice on Kovalchuk. He's far less likely to be injured and he has a bigge upside than Spezza. The worst part of the whoe deal is that you'd have to wait it out and you could come up with a big goose egg.

However, now that I look more closely at your stats, you can't start more than 1 RW/LW and you're already stacked there. Try moving Spezza for another Centre.
