A buddy of mine offered me Zetterberg and Couture for M. Richards and James Neal...now, I'm not pulling the trigger on that because Couture would be a #5 center on my team, but I'm debating offering Mike for Zetterberg (C, LW) straight up as Zetterberg only has 1 point through 4 games this year but I expect this pace to pick up
I'm a bit confused at where I should be valuing Mike's production, though. He's been a 60-65 point guy the last couple of seasons in Philly, but was an point/game player the two seasons previous to that. I think a lot of this had to do with the added responsibilities of the Captaincy in Philly/Pronger/etc.
Do you guys think he can get back to a point/game in LA playing on the top PP line? He's at 5 points and 13 shots through 6 games.
With Backes eligible at center now, I currently have a team last looks like the following:
Positions are: C, C, LW, LW, RW, RW, D, D, D, G, G, BN x 6
Categories: G, A, plus/minus, PIM, PPP, SOG, Wins, GAA, SV%, SO
C - Nicklas Backstrom (WSH)
C - Mike Richards (LAK)
LW - James Neal (PIT)
LW - Max Pacioretty (MTL)
RW/C - David Backes (STL)
RW - Marion Gaborik (NYR)
D - John-Michael Liles (TOR)
D - Brian Campbell (FLA)
D - Ryan Whitney (EDM)
G - Tim Thomas (BOS)
G - Jaroslav Halak (STL)
BN/G - Tuuka Rask (BOS)
BN/G - Johan Hedberg (NJ)
BN/C - Derek Roy (BUF)
BN/LW - Tomas Fleischmann (FLA)
BN/RW - Chris Stewart (STL)
BN/D - Marek Zidlicky (MIN)
I think that's pretty solid for a 14-team league. Do you think a trade for a stud C, LW like Zetterberg puts a team like this over-the-top? LW is clearly where I'm weakest at the moment.
