Building up for a deep playoff run...

[maya has the knife]

Looking for some feedback on the trades I made over the past week heading into the playoffs. Currently I'm tied for 2nd-4th, playoffs start Sunday. I've been looking to beef up my roster with immediate production. Top 9 teams make the playoffs (1v8v9, 2v6v7, 3v4v5). The #1 team is 10-0 and is looking really tough, but I lost to him by less than 6 points in our regular season match...

Trade #1
Kadri, Granlund for Backstrom (Was), Zajac
Comments: Think I sold high on Kadri in the long run, but he posted 4 points the next night including a hat trick...

Trade #2
Holtby, Kuznetsov, Hertl for Halak, Coyle, B. Smith, 6th
Comments: Of course Halak got injured in the next game...

Trade #3
Campbell, Read, 4th for Hagelin, Beauchemin, Streit
Comments: Beauchemin in actually leading all D in our league in FP...

Sorry for the long, in-depth post. Rep for your comments!

I think you did well with #1 & #3 but , ouch on #2 right now.
In the future I think you win overall.The 3rd deal could swing things.

I personally like the trades you make.. I think the last one was probably the one that may help you out the most down the stretch..

The other ones were good though too.

Sell high, buy low is a good way to go about trades, I think Backstrom will be picking it up down the stretch and I'm not confident in Kadri to keep his pace up (even though I may be wrong and just an anti-leaf person hah).

And the second trade was good too, just bad luck in terms of injury.
