I'm battling for first place this year in a really tight race to the finish. I lost Johnny T and Zetterberg during the Olympics.
Clearly the offers are pouring in for JT. The best I got so far was for Duchene, who is a cheaper salary in my league. I'ts something I've been considering.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I know when Tavares's injury was known, my cell nearly exploded with other GM's in my keeper league inquiring to what I wanted for him. I'm in the lead by a mere 2 points in the league, and just acquired Tavares this year from another GM. Ideally I would want to trade him for a stud to keep me in the running but I doubt it'll happen as there are only 22 games left, and the offers I have been getting are abysmal. (The best being Giroux, Eller, and a 2nd rounder which I rejected right away).
Not going to make the same mistake that I did last year when Karlsson went down and I moved him for Landeskog. I loved Landeskog, but had I kept Karlsson I would be way ahead in my pool.
Guy leading our league randomly sent me an offer of Duchene and Marchand for HIS Tavares, thought about that for about 2 seconds and hit accept. This morning he said he has traders remorse lol, I hope it works out for him. I missed the playoffs by one win, on to next year.
"Though the injury was a season-ender for Tavares, the fact that he will avoid surgery is a positive development. The report indicates that Tavares is looking at an 8-12 week rehab/recovery period, a timetable that should enable him to enter training camp in good health."
