G A +/- SOG PIM PPP

I have been offered Drew Doughty for my Mike Green.

I think Green's ceiling is higher than Doughty's, but considering the last two years, am I crazy to turn this offer down?

Depends to some degree on what you believe about Green - frankly I would do the deal - Doughty is young, established and undervalued due to a so-so year as a result of his holdout. Peace of mind comes with this trade as far as I am concerned.

My vote is take that deal ASAP!!!

I would take that and run.

Not only is Green made of glass, but the fact that he's signed a fat new contract means he has little incentive to perform.

Doughty had an amazing playoff run and seems to be flourishing under Sutter. I would bet this will be the season he returns to 50+ point territory.

DD for me as well.

I'd do that anyday, and that's beside the Green is a band-aid boy status now. I just think Green has declined due to his injuries and doesn't play like his younger self.

There is value in playing devils advocate so......

I'm a little bit of a high risk high reward kind of guy, so I'd be looking at getting more than Doughty for Green. Adam Oates coaching the team creates the opportunity for the offensive powers to be let loose a lot more than they have been over the last 3 years. I am predicting a elite levels of fantasy production from AO, Backstrom and Green this year.

If Green plays well this year, you could reasonably expect 60-65 points. If Doughty plays well, I dont think you can expect anymore than 55 points, more likely it'll be closer to 50 even. You dont usually win hockey pools by taking the safer option all the time. You have to take a few risks to win it all and I think that Green has a good risk to reward ratio.

Regarding a new contract... not everyone is motivated primarily by money. A lot of these guys want to be the best because of a naturally high drive to succeed. Its what got them to the NHL in the first place. While, his new contract is not exactly irrelevant, I don't think its the kiss of death. I'd say there are many motivational influences for Green I'd argue that a chance to win the Stanley Cup is a pretty good motivator.

cheers,

AW
