Fantasy Hockey Trade - Who got the best of it?

Question

I recently traded D. Alfreddson and D. Sedin for P. Marleau and V. Toskala.

Now, he obviously needed wingers & i needed a goalie. Keep in mind neither one of us lost position depth, as he has Kipprusoff & Brodeur still at goalie on his team & i still have Slava Kozlov, Dany Heatley, etc. for wingers. Not to mention my starting centers are as follows now.. Olli Jokinen, Rod Brindamour & Patrick Marleau.

I only had Aebischer & DiPietro for goalies before i traded for Toskala.

Correction, i also had Vokoun, but he was injured for a period of time.

Answer 1

This is an interesting one. Alfredsson is red hot as of late and playing on a line with Heatley - don't know how long this will last, but since Spezza has returned he's on a line with Chris Kelly. If he moves up it is always possible that Aflredsson would move down, making your trade even stronger. Certainly though, Alfredsson is no slouch.

Giving up Sedin isn't giving up too much in my opinion. Having a good year, but the Canucks don't score much as is.

Marleau is currently skating with Thornton - they have put rookies on this line - first Pavelski, then Ryane Clowe. Whoever goes on this line with those two shoots lights out. Marleau is a stud - and that isn't going to changes.

Toskala. This is where your trade gets really interesting. Nabakov went down last night with a groin injury - this link is from fantasydope.com:

This could be Toskala's chance to be the bonafide #1 in San Jose.

I think your trade has some risk involved as Alfredsson is great, and Toskala may still only get 1/2 the starts, but given the recent series of events, your upside is HUGE. Nice job.
