Analyze this Blockbuster Trade!!

6-Keeper // 10 teams
-------------------------------------------------
Before giving you the exchange, I'll have you know that we keep 6 and I have about 10 easily keepable players. Instead of hanging onto them and see them get drafted in the first 2 rounds next year, I decide to move 3 players to upgraqde my high end keeper situation for circumstantially expendable in my opinion.
I made this trade 2 Weeks ago!! I'd love top hear your breakdowns!
I trade: Toews, Eberle, Backstrom(g)
I Acquire: Price
I feel like I took the slightest bump short term offensively, but completely solidified my team having elite goalie keepers indefinitely. I still need to chose between these 5 for my last 2 keeper spots: Kopitar / Duchene / Luongo / Thornton / E. Kane.. Imagine adding in Eberle and Toews too. I'd be losing way too much talent to the draft, at least with this deal I'm updrading my keeper situation in the short and long-run.
My keepers Now
1. Price
2. Rinne
3. P. Kane
4. Karlsson
5. Kopitar
6. Duchene / Luongo* / Thornton / E. Kane,
He made alright with a 3L, 3C, 3RW, 5D, 2G, 1UTL, I'm not losing much high end ( toews' PPG was like .9-1.0 and Eberle's was like .7). I don't see any of them being high end keepers only for Toews defensive play and it'll take Eberle too long (another full season or two) for him to be worth hanging onto. I got back Saad (who's on fire) and Gallagher (dropped for IR return right away).
You need to look at this for many angles to truly understand it's nature, but I was the only team in the league who could afford trade 3 keeper range players for one elite.
Honestly, it's a keeper with friends, and this year has been sooo booring so we pulled this trade off last minute without much time kinda to jump start this league. My goaltending is sickeningly good but has been shitting hthe bed all the way. Luckily I squeeked into the final playoff spot by 1 point. I have big expectations for those 3 goalies to take me far!
Looking back, I wish I added a pick my way, or got to switch Eberle with one of my other many lesser borderline keepers, but I just made the playoffs (as did the other team), so I think in the long run I'll make out just fine. Hopefully Luongo gets traded and it wakes up this sleeping 3-headed dragon and brings me to back-to-back championships!
