My main reticence lies in that I don't want to be rolling a skeleton crew behind Quick. I can lock up Neuvirth as a handcuff to Holtby (dropping Neil so who cares). Then I'd have to drop another player to grab Theodore or Reimer. In my eyes, I take a big hit in net, even if he sent Nabokov back my way.

Just keep in mind that with the compressed schedule, you can probably get by with Quick and the Holtby/Neuvirth tandem. Every team is going to play about four games each week.

With all the back-to-backs, Neuvirth should get a respectable number of starts. If there was ever a year to go with a goalie tandem, this is it.

You might take a hit in wins, but I'd think that would be negligible for what you gain on the offensive end.

There has been a breakthrough here that doesn't even have me picking up any extra goalies other than Neuvirth. It's morphed to:

Niemi/Purcell/Ray Whitney

for

Eberle/Moulson/Price

I'm pretty sure this is a home run in my favour? I think the Canadiens will once again suck balls but Price should still put up acceptable #2 goalie numbers.

I think Ray Whitney, even at age 76, could match his numbers from last year if not exceed them. He's playing with a lot more around him than in Phoenix.

Thoughts?

Ok seriously what mind control do you have this guy under?


Eberle>>> Purcell
Moulson> Whitney
Price >> Niemi

Pull the trigger NOW

With Quick, Holtby and Price in net I wouldn't bother with a 4th goalie.

if you are getting the eberle side you shouldnt be wasting time talking to us

Eberle > Purcell - for sure.

Moulson > Whitney - Not so sure. In my league, Whitney and his 77pts finished as the 4th highest ranked LW behind Neal, Kovalchuk and Hartnell. And now he actually has offensive weapons around him. Moulson was 17th. I mainly want Moulson so nobody mooches off my John Tavares points.

Price > Niemi - I think I'm downgrading in this one. Montreal was dead last in the East last year behind the Islanders and haven't made any improvements other than telling Gomez to go home (LOL). That said, he still puts up decent numbers even if the wins aren't there.

That's my analysis of things. I think I'd definitely come out on top but the guy is new to the league and a friend of mine so I'm looking to make a deal that works for both of us to improve. I know, I know... It's completely not the mindset to have at all. But I don't want the guy to feel like he was duped because he was reluctant to join in the first place.

The devil on my shoulder says take him for all he's worth though. LOL.

Hahaha, I just realized that I pretty much talked myself into why the trade is even in my last post.

IMHO, you are waaaay over-thinking this.

You're looking a gift horse in the mouth here.

EDIT: I know Ray Whitney is the ageless one, but I expect 48 games in twelve weeks may test even his limits.

The deal has now morphed. It's no longer heavily weighted in my favour:

Niemi/Purcell/Versteeg

for

Eberle/Price

Little more even. I'm still going to take it.
