  • accept giroux trade?

    So I drafted what i believe to be a very solid roster but lacks any huge names and someone offered me giroux for niemi.
    we are in a 14 team head to head league where the categories are G,A,+/-,PIM,PPP,SOG,HIT and W,GAA,SV%,SHO

    should i accept the trade? im leaning towards no so i can keep a fairly solid 3 goalie rotation going and the other persons goalies are holtby and nabby so i might be able to switch up which goalie i trade and give less.

    I get:
    Claude Giroux (c/rw)
    Olli Jokinen (c)
    I give:
    Ryan Callahan (rw)
    Antti Niemi (g)

    My current team
    Jonathan Toews (c)
    Matt Duchene (c/lw)
    Zach Parise (lw)
    Scott Hartnell (lw)
    Ryan Callahan (rw)
    Milan Michalek (rw/lw)
    Kris Letang (d)
    Kevin Bieksa (d)
    Mike Green (d)
    Derek Roy (c)
    Jiri Hudler (lw)
    Michael Ryder (rw)
    Devin Setoguchi (rw)
    Brent Seabrook (d)

    Miikka Kiprusoff (g)
    Antti Niemi (g)
    Craig Anderson (g)

      LMAO!!!! REALLY? ANYtime! Every league I've been in I've finished among the top of the standings (regular season). Obviously you're the one that has no idea #$%$ you're talking about. Ask anyone who knows anything about hockey, Niemi is NOT a top ten tender in the league.

      I'd love to have this guy Linzman in my league. He is probably the worst evaluator of fantasy hockey talent I've seen in years on this board.

      That's a terrible offer. Do not accept it. Callahan is incredible in this type of league and Niemi will be your best goalie. Your season is over if you accept this trade.

      Top ten goalie?? Niemi? REALLY??? I don't think so. I wouldn't call Callahan a BEAST in all categories. He may contribute steadily to MORE categories, but aside from PIM and Hits (I"m just guessing here, didn't look at last years stats), Giroux owns Callahan in the other five. Niemi is NOT a top ten goalie. Underrated? Perhaps, but nowhere near top 10. As for Jokinen I would drop him and grab him from someone in FA. Teams only have 17 players each, 14 teams yes, but I'm sure there's someone better then Jokinen in FA, and that's the player you need to add to the deal, the one you're swapping out for Jokinen. Might be a big PIM/hits guy in FA that would make up what you lose from Callahan and don't make up with Giroux. Koivu AND Semin for Niemi? You ripped him HARD! Don't over value Niemi.
