Don't currently have a trade on the table, but just landed Stamkos and considering pursuing Crosby.

With the following categories: Head to Head Keeper - G, A, +/-, SHP, SOG, Hits

Who would you rather have going forward? Does Crosby's injury history worry you or do you think that is behind him? My one bit of thinking is Crosby would be a better option going forward, especially because I feel he is less reliant on other players (compared to Stammer and St. Louis)

I would way rather have Crosby, but it depends a lot on the price you have to pay. If the Crosby owner is worried about his health and you can do it straight up I say go for it.

Crosby and it's not even close. He is in a different league then anyone else in the Universe.

I've offered Stamkos and Skinner for Crosby and Franzen.

Trying to take advantage of Franzen's somewhat weaker first half versus skinner's strong first half. We'll see if this is even within negotiating room.

Take Stamkos IF:
Your team is so ridiculously strong that you simply need a guaranteed 90pts to win your pool.

Take Crosby IF:
Your team is not ridiculously strong.

This.

Personally, I still prefer Stamkos in that format... Crosby has to stay healthy for at least one more full season before I would take him ahead of Stammer in a keeper.

That's some solid advice. Looking at my team, what would your take be? I want to make sure I'm taking a rational approach at it and would like an outside opinion, but I feel like my team is "ridiculously strong". Whether or not that is strong enough to warrant the stability of stamkos is questionable.

Seems you are one of the few who feel similar as me about his injury history. For some reason it seems to get overlooked because he is Crosby, but I have a feeling he is quite vulnerable.

Hard to say in an 8 team league... every team generally looks stacked.

What's your current position? Where did your team finish in the last 2 seasons?
