Yeah, context is everything.
Last year, in one of my leagues, (non Keeper) I started out 1-6. I REALLY NEEDED A G, AND A D.
I traded McDavid for Rinne and Subban (who were killing it.). Rinne and Subban were stars for my team. I lost only 1 game the rest of the way. Made the finals. Lost there, but got there. 2nd out of 12 not bad. The team that trading for McDavid, he went in the crapper. He never could fill the goalie and Dmen void he created with the trade. My offense was good, so I knew I would be OK without McDavid. So you if you can fill needs appropriately, you do so.
