Thoughts on this trade please?

[Hockeystar3712]

I've been offered the following trade and I'm leaning towards accepting.

I give:
Mike Smith
4th Round Waiver pick

I receive:
Ondrej Pavelec
Loui Eriksson
Simon Despres
3rd Round Entry pick

H2H 10 keeper league G,A,+/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, Goalie: W, GAA, Sav%, SO

My team: Kopitar, J. Staal, Hodgson, Brassard, Nielsen, Legwand, O'Reilly, D. Sedin, Foligno, Ryan, Okposo, Clowe, Carlson, Burns, Wisniewsky, Seabrook, M. Smith, Bishop, Nabokov.

Eriksson is injury prone and underperforming so far this season. However, this is Smith's second season putting up Pavelec-esque numbers. Should I hold on to 27 year old Smith in hopes that he rebounds or grab the 22 year old Pavelec hoping that he improves, take an upgrade in Eriksson, and a up and coming Dman to sit on the farm team in Despres?

Thoughts? I've been stalling on this because I'm torn and the other guy is waiting on a response so quick responses would be much appreciated!

Loui has had a tough time this season but before this he missed like 3 games in 5 seasons. Also smith is 31 and Pavelec is 26. I would probably accept the deal based on the players but I don't know how deep your drafts are for the waiver one.

 

[Hockeystar3712]

Well I suppose that's what happens when I try to pull numbers from memory. The drafts aren't too deep so I'm not terrible worried about the pick. For example, these are the 4th rounders this year:

Alex Tanguay
Sergei Gonchar
Kimmo Timonen
Tomas Plekanec
Cody Franson
Ray Whitney
Brent Seabrook
Kyle Turris
Teddy Purcell
Valtteri Filppula
Jaromir Jagr
Jason Garrison

I would definitely accept this deal. I dont have high hopes for the Arizona Coyotes.

Loui gonna get back to form next year, take Smith's spot on the top line and pump out 30g,30a + 30

I'd take it.
