Trade one of: Ehlers/Hall for Barzal/Tavares?

[RonTextall]

14-team keeper where we keep LW, C, RW, D, G.

I have Getzlaf/Namestnikov at C. Looking to trade a LW to upgrade. Another team has Tavares/Barzal. He can only keep one.

Are both of them upgrades to Getzlaf? Should I trade now or in the offseason? I suggested we wait but he said "we can just do it now". I'm in first, he's in 12th.

FYI Ovechkin is my LW keeper.

I would absolutely try and grab Barzal or Tavares (in that order), and do it now. I would go Ehlers for Barzal/Tavares. The Isles score in bunches.



Just my take. Obviously you are in first, so you have made a lot of good decisions to this point. So go with your gut. But the above is my two cents.

I appreciate the advice. If he wants Hall, would you do it now?

Hmmm......if he is eager to do it now, and asks for Hall, I probably still would if Barzal, but maybe ask for a slight sweetner.

I would get Tavares ASAP.

 

[RonTextall]

He wants to wait in case Barzal gets LW/RW availability. Is he playing the wing at all?

 

[klassic]

Go with Tavares

Yes! Both Tavares and Barzal are upgrades over Getzlaf. If you can work a reasonable deal to get either of the Islanders, do it!

Not from any of the games i have seen. And i watch a lot of Isles games. He's gonna be waiting a long time.

That's weird. He either is on the block or not. Sounds like cold feet on Barzal. Yeah, then go with Tavares.

Nope. Barzal is exclusively a center. Hell of a 1-2 punch for the Isles at center on the top two lines with Tavares and Barzal.

I'd try

Ehlers for Barzal


Hall for Tavares.

You are keeping Ovi anyway. So snag Tavares if you can, like now.

 

[RonTextall]

If Barzal gets LW/RW eligibility, he can keep both. That's why he decided to wait.

Barzal hasn't start a single game this season at LW / RW. Locked in as the Isles 2nd line C. Dude will be waiting for a train that never arrives. Just saying.

When the season started there was a possibility Barzal would be on Tavares' RW, but Bailey got that spot and Barzal hasn't looked out of place at C on the 2nd line at all. To the contrary in fact, dude is making waves in the NHL.

He can only keep 1C, so while I may not be able to get one of them this year, a trade in the offseason makes sense.

 

[RonTextall]

The other owner offered these two up again. I offered Hall/Namestnikov for Barzal/Perron.

I would keep Barzal at C and Perron is a rental.

Other F keepers would be Ovie LW and Ehlers/Simmonds RW.

 

[RonTextall]

I got Trocheck and an 11th for Namestnikov and a 9th.

Offered Hall/Henrique for Barzal/Perron.
ETA: Done deal.

Going forward, who do I keep between Barzal/Trocheck?

 

[td_ice]

Haha, I have the same option in my keeper league. Keeping 6.

My 5 definites, McDavid, Marchand, E. Karlsson, Barzal, Crawford/Rask.

My dilemma is 2 goalies, or Trochek.

So for me, I am definitely going Barzal over Vinny. But I hope to get him back with my first or 2nd pick.
