Trade advice for a NHL fantasy hockey league?
Points leage G-2 pts A-1 pt (Can start two of each forward and 4 dmen each day)
I get Matt Duchene, Mason Raymond
I give Zach Parise
I have:
C- Evgeni Malkin, Eric Staal, Jason Spezza
RW- Marian Hossa, Ales Hemsky, Patrik Hornqvist
LW- Thomas Kopecky, Zach Parise
D- Niclas Lidstrom, Victor Hedman, Jack Johnson, Mike Greene, Brent Seabrook
I would probably end up dropping spezza..what do you guys think accept or decline?

Tough one. Look at it this way, Duchene and Raymond are awesome, but your going to have to drop someone if you go through with it, and none of your players will be "easy to drop." Parise will get you 70+ points for sure as a LW which is a position your lacking, but New Jersey isn't doing well as of late, so he may be a decreasing stock. Duchene is still a rookie, and is considered risky simply because he is not as experienced, but my guess is he'll rack up a lot of points considering he's a top center on Colorado, which they are doing pretty good as of late. Raymond is still somewhat of a newbie too so he is a bit of a risk as well. I am sure he wont rack up as much as Parise but will come close. Its a pretty fair trade, I have a feeling Duchene won't feel the sophmore slump, so I say go for it, then maybe use Spezza as trade bait for a good LW so you can even out your lines a bit.
accept- duchene should have another good year while parise is overrated
