Rotisserie league, next year only, i had an offer for a trade:

Turco-Elias for Backstrom and Stillman

for goalers: gaa, wins, savepct
forwards: g a +/- pim sog

which side wins ?

I would go with Turco/Elias. Turco is a proven stud and you know what you will get from him. Elias although a band-aid boy is still much better than Stillman.

Backstrom should put up decent numbers in MIN but there is that chance that he will not be able to live up to his performance mid way last season.

It seems like Elias/Turco is the safe route while Backstrom/Stillman are the more risky route.

Turco/Elias easily. The goalies will be close this year, but elias is a much better pick than stillman

I concur.

Turco is safer than Backstrom and I see him having a better year anyways. Elias vs. Stillman is really no contest, IMO.

Totally agree. Elias makes the difference here.

I would probably go the same route with Turco and Elias but I think this is pretty damn close.

Turco is going to get some starts eaten into by Smith who is good. If Backstrom takes up where he left off - I think he will get more starts - with a .950 SV% over his last many many games - he has to be reckoned with - flash in the pan - don\'t think so - the system is a fit for him.

I think the Canes will be much more productive offensively this year and a healthy Stillman will certainly get his fair share - guessing nearly a PPG. Elias\' linemates aren\'t assured - Gionta likely but who is the centre? Not likely Parise. Will he produce more than Stillman in this year? He should, but I am not real sure here.

Even with these thoughts I would still take Turco and Elias just based on proven talent. Turco\'s playoff performance convinces me.
