Default Vanek for Eberle (REP)

I got offered Eberle for my Vanek and I don't know what to do with this to be honest. I know Eberle can become an elite scorer, but his peripherals are not that great. Im especially worried about his SOG since its the one of the only two peripherals im pretty competitive at, the other being PPP which is a wash between them I think.

Making this more complicated is the fact that we only get to keep 4 players this year, so I'm not sure if Eberle would make the cut. Im planning to keep Tavares, Neal, Halak and a 4th player. Would you keep Eberle over Benn, Backstrom or Kopitar?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Are you going for the win this year? If so, I'd stick with Vanek.

To be honest im not 100% certain, its our first year in the league, my team is 4th right now, so I obviosly want to stay competitive for this year and the next but im not sure if ill win it this year unless Backstrom and Kopitar pick it up.

I would back away from this deal. Vanek has been very hot lately and is showing no signs of slowing down. Keep Vanek to stay competitive.
Kopitar<Benn<Eberle<Backstrom

Picking a keeper is a tough decision, but I will give this one to Backstrom. He is easily one of the best setup men in the NHL and can also give you the 20+ goals. Who knows, Vanek could make a case for keeper if he "keeps" this pace up....

You guys are nuts.

I would take Eberle over Vanek in a heartbeat, especially in a keeper.

This is the perfect time to sell at an all-time high on Vanek.

Id sell high on vanek and try and get a secondary peice, if the other side has an under performing dman it could really work out well

BUT would you keep him for next year over Backstrom, Benn, or kopitar? I can only keep one of those four player for next year, and if one of those 3 are better to keep than Eberle then this trade would only have an impact on this year.

Agreed, good sir, but he should probably get a little bit more back since Vanek's value is through the roof, right?
