savard for morrow

[93213]

Your opinion is yours and that's fine, but I just want to make sure the OP understands what he's doing. Your theory on center depth can be equalled by Neal in Dallas.

You just don't trade top line players with a history of multiple 90 point seasons (with 90 PIM) for 2nd line players who have scored over 70 points once and the next best total is 65 with the other seasons south of there. You don't trade a player who is close to a PPG over his career for a player who is 1/2 a PPG when their PIM are close.

Opinions are fine if you want to say it like that. That you have a hujch or a feeling about it. That's cool, but logic and stats say otherwise.

Morrow is a LW, he can hold for better value but for me I would take that deal if it was proposed to me. His LW is weak (Lupul?), then just Rick Nash. No need to turn this into a heated debate, I say if he doesn't get better value than Morrow in trade offers, then take Morrow and be happy with the deal.

^this. Given the circumstances, I'd be happy with a deal like this as well. I think we are all forgetting about what concussions can do to a player. Savard hasn't done much since his return.

his other LW are heatley, hartnell, kunitz, and tanguay. anything i can work with on that front? i don't think he'd take a gaborik for heatley straight up deal.

alright well in those starting positions your under utilizing one of either Savard, Lecavalier, Brown, or Gaborik right off the bat as Lupul is forced to play the LW 2 slot at all times which keeps one of those guys out of the lineup any time you have a full lineup going...and by having only two LW total you're also under utilizing the LW slot in general as well so i'd almost consider Gaborik and Brown for Heatley and Hartnell a sound move for you specifically as you'd be getting an elite LW option (who in many leagues, not sure about yours, also has RW capacity which washes out the loss of Brown specifically) and gives you three legit LW options ad then makes Lupul or Bergeron an easy drop for Okposo's return to rebolster your RW core...Heatley would be a great target and on paper that'd be an overall "win" in his favor even though you're benefitting your squad and able to field a betterall-around lineup...I'd try Gabby Brown for Heatley Hartnell for sure from that guy

Woah. We actually agree on something? I was going to reply to this thread again with the exact same trade idea.
Well said MT
