I'm considering floating this out there to the guy in second. I need another RW and have an abundance of centers.

They are both averaging 6.2 ppg. I feel like Ovechkin has more upside..Am I right?

Id have to say so. He was on fire down the stretch last year so Im hoping he can find that scoring power again. The Caps sure need it.

Worth a shot. I'd never do it if I were the other guy but maybe Backes fits his needs?

Float that offer by the other GM. I doubt he'll bite, but I'd take OV in a heartbeat down the stretch.

Good luck!

to be honest i dont think that gets it done

thinking about it from his perspective ovechkin really cant get much worse so trading him to you isnt likely to harm you and help him

however if he gets better that allows you to widen your gap while keeping him means he closes the gap instead

i just dont see any reason why the other guy would be interested in doing this

He needs more hits, I need more scoring. I'm in first by a game and he's in second. He beat me on Duchene's gwg yesterday. I realized I need more scoring.

Because in my league Backes is valuable with hits, etc.

GWG is the worst stat in fantasy sports. I wouldn't go assuming that you need more scoring because you lose a crap stat like that.

I have a huge lead in hits and blocked shots, etc. I'm willing to give up that for some offensive potential.

i am not suggesting he isnt valuable i understand completely his value you spelled it out he is putting up the same average points as ovechkin

the point i am making is there is no upside to backes while there is to ovechkin so why would he trade a guy who has a floor of 6.2 points per game for a guy who likely doesnt have a ceiling any higher than 6.2 points per game
