Eriksson - Help please

[NatureX]

So, A) Amazing I can post again...!

B) I need some help..

The top two guys fighting for first have lost players (Zetteberg and Taveres)
I got emails from both regarding Eriksson.

The Taveres owner threw me this offer:

2nd Rd Pick 2014 (25th overall roughly)
Vrbata

I wanted to counter for a D-man(as I need them badly), but was wondering what the right trade is, knowing he is in 1st right now by 5 pts, so getting rid of a superstar D is not in the cards.

D:
OEL
WEBER
GIORDANO
HAMILTON
BOGOSIAN
VOYNOV
KULIKOV

Do you think going back with a
Hamilton
2nd
Is too little?

Maybe bump to a 1st?

I don't think I mind losing Eriksson, especially after reading the latest cage match

[Dobber]

I think if he wants the help, Hamilton and a 1st is the price he should pay. At least worth seeing what he says

[marshal]

With Dobber on this one. I'd ask for Hamilton and a first-rounder. Worst case scenario is that he says no.

What was the offer from the other manager?

[hockeymanG23]

lol, I read your post and figured that if you want Hamilton it makes sense to ask for a first over a second and apparently that is the consensus advice of the day so far!

[NatureX]

Thanks all,

Other manager is coming back with something nothing yet.

This is what I think we are looking at - GM said Hamilton and 1st this year is too steep...

Hamilton
1st 2015
for
Eriksson
1,500,000

OR

Hamilton
2nd 2014
for
Eriksson
750,000

Too bad 2nd rd picks in your league are completely worthless to own.

I'd probably take the first deal you listed above.

What's your salary situation like? Unless it's really tight, I'd rather Hamilton and the first-rounder in exchange for Eriksson and the $1.5M.

Hey all,

Still negotiating here...

Other GM came to me and offered, B.Schenn

Thoughts?

Only benefit I see is that he is younger and makes 3m less.

[ridethesnow]

I still like hamilton and the 2015 pick... hamilton on boston will keep your plus minus maintained and the 2015 draft is looking better and better.

Agreed 100% preferred

Is Schenn a decent way to go and shed salary with similar pts eventually or should I keep Loui here?
