Haha, fair. I'm gonna do it anyway. I just started overthinking it and was giving myself second thoughts and kinda wanted some validation. I think a stacked D is actually the way to win with our league settings and I kinda had that idea in my head at the draft and ended up with Hedman and Ristolainen (they finished 2 and 6 among dmen in our league last year). But Risto's been a bit of a bust and the guy in first in our league is riding a d-corps of Shattenkirk, OEL, Klingberg, Leddy and Werenski and I think that's a huge reason why he's in first.

This trade will give me a defence of EK, Hedman, Risto, Giordano and Faulk while still having Voracek, Hoffman and Mantha to slot in at RW.
