Default Koivu for Getzlaf

Just wanted some feedback on a trade I'm proposing in my one-year league.

Miko Koivu for Getzlaf.

Worth it? I figure Getzlaf and Perry will bounce back from last year and Koivu is out to a good start so I'm trying to sell high in case he gets injured. Plus I figure Ducks are much more of an Offensive-minded team than Wild. I'm just worried since an argument could be made Koivu has even better linemates than Perry now that he has Parise and Heatley. Settings and team info are in my sig. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers, fellas

The additions of Parise/Suter/Granlund have really transformed MIN so that I'm in no way sure I'd call ANA more offensively minded.

All that aside I think this is the type of gamble you have to take [although I really could see it backfiring]. Getzlaf [who is no poster child for fully healthy seasons] has a much higher upside than Koivu so if this was a keeper league I'd call this decision a no-brainer.

Barring injury though Koivu is a lock to hit 75+...20+ minutes per night and averaging over 4 on the PP right now and has over 20 SOG.

Getzlaf is playing 21 minutes a night too and ANA has played 2 less games so his points may be a tad under-appreciated.

I think the right choice is to gamble on the upside [it is a contract year for Getzlaf after all], but recognize Koivu is in a great situation to have a career year.

I would easily take Getzlaf. He's much more of a multi-cat monster.
