Best player in the deal, I like it for Stammer especially long term.
Hi all. Big time help needed in determining if this deal is worth going for. Ground work layed would see the following;
I get: Stamkos
I give: D. Sedin, Zetterberg and Edler.
On the surface my initial reaction was "holy shit".
This morning I'm not completely against it. I still feel I can finess another player from him. Possibly Bennett in Pittsburgh.
All players involved are legit keepers. All at salaries that can be kept for years. Stamkos particularly is $5 in an $80 cap. Salaries increase 10% every year. Suffice it to say I'd have him for a long while.
The team in my signature is the roster I'd lock in and take to my auction draft in September. The team as is can compete. What makes this deal somewhat easier to swallow is the fact I have 2 players I can't currently keep that I'd slide into the lineup if this deal was done.
Pominville at RW and Faulk on D.
If you're thinking don't do the trade and parlay Pom and Faulk into an upgrade somewhere; that is not available to me. Faulk has 0 value right now in my league and best offer for Pominville has been a C level prospect. So no trade value currently.
So do I pull the trigger?
*UPDATE*
The involvement of another team and subsequent bidding war has changed the original deal.
With the GM no longer being interested in Edler I needed to make a side deal for pieces he preferred in a potential deal.
The deal on the table is now:
I'm giving: D. Sedin, Zetterberg, Rask, Couturier (2 years more on Rookie bench), and Klefbom (2 years more on rookie bench)
I'm getting: Stamkos, Franzen (1 year keeper due to salary) and a top 18 draft pick in our upcoming rookie draft (selecting players drafted this year)
Thoughts? Please bear in mind we only calculate GAA and SV% in our league so I can find a reasonable replacement for Rask

Absolutely. Ageing veterns with declining upside for one of the best players in the game with one of the highest ceilings who is also reasonable priced under the cap and can be kept for multiples years?? Get 'er done quick.
I'd take the deal, semi limited keeper and you are getting the best player in the deal at a very reasonable cap hit.

You're getting a Ferrari here for three high end sedans. Easy yes for me.
Get it done and good luck.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
Do it. Limited keeper and you will have Crosby and Stamkos once it is done.
Do it and don't ever look back
Done deal. Do it up.
