    Default Evaluate my trade...

    2nd Signature. Brand new expansion team this summer.

    I traded E.Lindholm for D.Stepan.

    Normally I'd like to be the one getting the younger guy, as my team won't be competitive for quite some time. But even looking medium to long term, I think Stepan can out point Lindholm.

    So I'm hoping I bought Stepan low, or sold Lindholm high, but am curious to hear other thoughts.

    Thanks.

    I'd say you did well! Got the 1st line centre who led his team in points last year (at near ppg), and will see a massive uptick in offensive zone starts thanks to vigneault, and he usually has nash/richards with him on a line.... For a prospect.

    Ya, you did alright

    I think its good trade. I like Lindholm and might have just kept him if someone offered but if you want to produce points now it is great trade

    Stepan looks like he will be a thoroughbred. And because Richie has sucked it up recently, he's likely to get more and more time/chances in critical situations.

    Excellent move, you trade for an up and coming star forward that happens to be pretty young at the same time.

    Lindholm is a fabulous prospect, but he's still just a prospect.

    Stepan is the real deal, look for him to really gain more attention as he continues to put up points in the NHL as a first line centre. He doesn't get the credit he deserves yet.

    This is far from a good trade, it's a STEAL, great job!

    Yeah, I'm working on about a 5 year plan for both teams. For this team it's a keep 20. And in expansion, the 10 teasms got to protect 18 players each (180 players). Plus I had last pick in the first round. In the expansion draft, I mainly took older vets and packaged them up for youth. Also managed to trade for 2nd (Drouin) and 6th (Nichushkin). And I have three first rounders next year.

    Normally I'd hate to give up youth. But I was approached for Nichushkin for Stepan. And after a week or so, got the other GM to agree to Lindholm instead. The other GM is really low on Stepan, whereas I'm keen on him.

    Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

    Thanks.

    Proven over Potential all day and Stepan is still very young. Good deal
