well i know its early but cant help but feel a little snake bit- i have a good young team in my dynasty/keeper league but ive been hit w/ bad luck/injury and bad goaltendin early on this season- its a standard yahoo h2h league (g/a/+/-/ppp/pims/gwg-w/gaa/sv%/sho)

made 2 major trades in the last 3 days to shake things up and wanted to get some opinions/thoughts

i have lehtonen and once he got hurt the vultures came out...however 1 guy made me a fair offer and i took it...

1st trade
--------
i give

j sakic
a frolov
ma fleury

i get

m sundin
m afinogenov
m kiprusoff

i pretty much think sakic and sundin r a wash but i hated givin frolov up...the guy originally wanted nash but settled on frolov- i still have ovechkin and nash at LW but the trade left a hole for my 3rd LW- afinogenov certainly has some warts and is a little older then frolov but i think they r at least comparative in value- as for fleury i just couldnt deal w/ him anymore...im just not sure he\'ll ever be a great goalie- and at least w/ kipper (along w/ dipietro who w/ lethonen r my other goalies) i dont have to worry bout makin the league min 3 starts a week and figure i can role w/ 2 goalies till kari comes back- while i lost in age in the deal i think in the end its pretty even


2nd trade
---------

i give

j cheechoo
a kotalik

i get

a radulov
l nagy



maybe i pulled the plug on cheechoo too early here but hes another guy i was seriously losin patience w/- dont wanna deal w/ wilsons mind games anymore- and i watched tonites game vs calgary and i think cheechoo got zero pp time- while i believe its tempory i just couldnt deal anymore- i think this trade hurts me this year but w/ radulov, it hopefully helps me in the future- as for nagy i dont expect anythin but i needed a 3rd LW and i think he was better then the FA fodder in my league

heres my complete team now after the trades... (potential 13 keeepers in caps)

centers
-------
P BERGERON
P DATSYUK
A KOPITAR
m sundin

left wing
---------
A OVECKIN
R NASH
l nagy

right wing
----------
M GABORIK
A RADULOV
M AFINOGENOV
j pominville

defensemen
----------
E JOHNSON
j pitkanen
a markov
c murphy
s weber (IR)

goalies
-------
M KIPRUSOFF
R DIPIETRO
K LEHTONEN


(thats 12 \"potential\" keepers as of now and maybe id keep a 2nd dman... anyway, i still think my team is pretty good and should at least be in the thick of things- was just lookin to shake things up a bit- opinions appreciated

man with that team I think you should finish better than in the thick of things...nice roster....I might have hung on to fleury...because I think he has more years ahead of him than kipper...but otherwise nice work.
