Recent Trades
Outgoing: James van Riemsdyk, Matt Niskanen, Peter Mueller
Incoming: Dion Phaneuf, David Krejci, Michal Frolik
Great trade. Phaneuf is an upgrade on Niskanen. Krejci is a shor-term upgrade on both JVR and Mueller as well.
Outgoing: Dion Phaneuf, Andrei Kostitsyn
Incoming: Wojtek Wolski, Brent Burns
A decent trade. Phaneuf would probably have been a keeper. I like Wolski as a keeper as well. The other two wouldn’t make the grade.
Outgoing: Marc Savard, Justin Williams
Incoming: Derek Roy, Sam Gagner
Great trade, again. Williams is done as a productive NHL’er.
Recommendations
1) Keep Wolski over Gagner. I really like Gagner's long-term upside, but Wolski will out-point him over the next few seasons. I may get some heat for this, but I actually debated keeping Gagner over Vanek. In a points-only league (no differentiation between goals and assists), Vanek's value drops a bit.
2) Try and upgrade. You have a few good borderline keepers, especially on defense. None of them after Weber interested me that much, but perhaps you can swing a few of them for an upgrade on the back end (landing a potential second keeper defenseman).
