I'm interested in how unbiased outsiders would analyze this trade:

Scoring Cats are in my signature below. Also we are swapping GWG for HITS next season.

Malkin (RW,C) - RW with FW and... well.. Malkin.
Byfuglien (RW, D) - Great peripherals but questionable health and motivation
Fluery (G) - Great team in front

for

Ovechkin (RW, LW) - massive peripherals.. looks to be picking it up again?
Toews (C) - FW king (excluding crosby)
Price (G) - Joining the elite?

#- denotes number of years I have kept a player.

Ive made the mistake of doubting Buffy once for those exact reasons (traded him) and I wont do it again. Hes an unusal player that thrives doing things his own way. The only D I would trade Buff for in a multicat is Karlsson, actually they are very close with those settings.

I like the Malkin side but I think the value is very close here. It all depends on if OV can find his winning ways again (+85p +200 hits +300 sog). If he does OV side wins imo.

Malkin>>OV
Buff=Toews
Fleury<Price

This is how I see it now.
