Would you take this trade?

In my fantasy hockey league, one of the guys offered me the following trade:

His players:
Mike Ribeiro (Center, DALLAS) who has 22 goals, 27 assists, 229 face-off wins, and a +/- of 10
Erik Cole (CAROLINA, Left/Right Wing) who has 11 goals, 19 assists, and a +/- of 3

FOR

My players:
Alexander Ovechkin (WASHINGTON, Left Wing) who has 34 goals, 21 assists, and a +/- of 7
Mikko Koivu (MINNESOTA, Center) who has 5 goals, 12 assists, 178 face-off wins, and a +/- of 4 but who has just come back from injury (was out 2 months of the season).

Ovechkin is almost too good to trade. And I think Koivu will perform now that he's back. Feel free to discuss....

My answer would not only be no, but HELL NO.

Stick with Koivu and Ovechkin. Cole and Ribeiro have far too many vowels in their names to be good hockey players :)

LKM: True about the consonants. By the way, where is the previously promised monkey picks?? We had to roll a die this week when I was too lazy to be creative!

um, yeah, it's been a crazy work month so far. I'm feeling positive about maintaining my personal hygiene and keeping a tumultuous sleep schedule :) Might get some time over this weekend though.
