I'm trying to upgrade my keepers, in a 10 team, points only league, keep 7. I have 3 trade scenarios that I have proposed to other GM's and I'm wondering what you think would be best for my team, this year and moving forward

Current Keepers

Backstrom
D. Sedin
H. Sedin
Kovalchuk
Parise/St. Louis (one of)
E. Karlsson
Price

I'm looking to use my assets to get my hands on Crosby or Ovie. If I were to get one, here is how it would play out.

Scenario #1

I trade: D. Sedin, Parise and Kesler
I get: Crosby + 2 throw-ins

Keeper forwards would be:

Backstrom
Crosby
H. Sedin
Kovalchuk
St. Louis

Scenario #2

I trade: D. Sedin, Parise and Kesler
I get: OV + 2 throw-ins

Keepers forwards would be:

Backstrom
OV
H. Sedin
Kovalchuk
St. Louis

Scenario #3 - if Crosby owner wants more (he needs a goalie)

I trade: St. Louis for Miller
Then I trade: D. Sedin, Parise and Miller
I get: Crosby + 2 throw ins

Keepers forwards would be:

Backstrom
Crosby
H. Sedin
Kovalchuk
Kesler

What do you think is best for my team? Should I try to make one of these trades or stand pat with what I have. My team "as-is" is likely the best group of keepers in the league, but I can't resist going after Crosby or OV as their owners have weak teams and need to make big moves.

Thanks!
