Fantasy Hockey Team Opinion Needed

[carpetbeggar]

Ok, I'm playing in a Head to Head Yahoo fanatsy league and I've got a guy that's hounding me for Thomas Vanek. I don't really want to think about dealing players until Crosby and Havlat get of the IR and see what they're going to do (mostly Crosby). Below is both our teams:

My Team:

Brandon Dubinsky (C,LW) N.Y. Rangers

Brad Richards © N.Y. Rangers

Thomas Vanek (LW) Buffalo

Joffrey Lupul (LW,RW) Toronto

Nathan Horton (RW) Boston

Jaromir Jagr (RW) Pittsburgh

Dustin Byfuglien (RW,D) Winnipeg

Alex Pietrangelo (D) St. Louis

Brian Campbell (D) Florida

Christian Ehrhoff (D) Buffalo

Rene Bourque (LW,RW) Calgary

Sheldon Souray (D) Dallas

Patrice Bergeron © Boston

Patrik Elias (LW) New Jersey

David Booth (LW) Florida

Kevin Shattenkirk (D) St. Louis

Brad Boyes (C,RW) Buffalo

Sidney Crosby © Pittsburgh Injured Reserve

Martin Havlat (RW) San Jose Injured Reserve

Roberto Luongo (G) Vancouver

Tuukka Rask (G) Boston

Jimmy Howard (G) Detroit

His Team:

Jason Spezza © Ottawa

Matt Duchene © Colorado

Dustin Brown (LW,RW) L.A.

Nikolai Kuleman (LW) Toronto

Drew Stafford (RW) Buffalo

Jason Pominville (RW) Buffalo

Roman Hamrlik (D) Washington

Tomas Kaberle (D) Carolina

Tobias Enstrom (D) Winnipeg

Sergei Gonchar (D) Ottawa

Dany Heatley (RW) Minnesota

Tuomo Ruutu (C,LW) Carolina

Marian Hossa (RW) Chicago

Alex Goligoski (D) Dallas

Johan Franzen (LW,RW) Detroit

Pavel Datsyuk (C,LW) Detroit

Ilya Kovalchuk (LW,RW) New Jersey

Marc-Andre Fleury (G) Pittsburgh

Cory Schneider (G) Vancouver

Antti Niemi (G) San Jose

Do you see a guy/guys on his team who I should make a trade offer to him for Vanek or do you think I'd be better off holding onto him for the time being? He's been playing pretty good so far this season which gives me more of a reason to hold onto him. His line so far through 5 games is: 4 goals, 4 assists, 3 +/-, 8 PiM, 2 PPP, 22 SoG. BUT if this guy is really serious about wanting him, I could maybe come out of this with one or two better fantasy performers than him.

Scoring in the league consists of: Goals, Assists, +/-, PiM, PPP, SoG.

Lineups each day are : Centers (2), LW (2), RW (2), Defenseman(4), Utility (1), Goalies (2) and the rest on the bench.

So...Should I, or shouldn't I?

Thanks.

Keep Vanek

Comparing teams IMO you have the stronger overall team -keep it intact
