NoWayOut and I have made the first trade of the season. The context is him being a bit weak on offense with solid grit, while I'm a bit weak on grit with solid offense. For those not in the league, it's a one-year weekly roto with G,A,+/-,PIM,PPP,SOG,Hits.

Roll of the Dice (NoWayOut) receives: Tomas Fleischmann
Nosferatootoo (horrorfan) receives: Alexandre Burrows

I'm willing to sacrifice some offense and right now Burrows isn't in the great position to produce offensively, but will give me consistent grit if I choose to use him right away. My other LW are Marleau, Moulson and Kunitz starting and R.Bourque on the bench. I'm hoping Kesler returns soon which should help Burrows, but of course the PP time will be limited but I'm quite strong there. Fleischmann is solid and should help NWO with consistent offensive production and aside from some unexpected early PIM this season, he didn't do enough for me grit-wise so I was willing to part with him. PIM and Hits are by far my two weakest skater categories.

It should help both of our teams, but by how much remains to be seen.
