Value of Elliot and Couturier?

Have a chance to trade Vanek for Couturier and Elliot in a keeper pool. Defenseman are weighted at 1.7x forward pts, so fairly valuable. Seems like a fairly good deal to me, thoughts?

Go to www.dobberhockey.com instead of HFBoards. You'll get better advice.

and no I would not doing that deal. You are trading a proven sniper for some prospects. No thanks.

Really depends on the setup of your league. Is every NHL player/prospect owned, or only a portion? To me, it boils down to how difficult is it to come up with a Stefan Elliott type prospect? Personally would keep Vanek rather than bank on Elliott's upside right now. You could be 2+ years away from reaping any benefit from Couturier/Elliott, which is an eternity in a fantasy context.
