    Default Trying to acquire Burns

    I just got offered Burns and Little for Spezza, Neal and Burakovsky. I'm top in the league in points, powerplay points, +/- and blocks, but am looking to get ahead in SOG and FW (the manager leading those is 2nd place in the league, I'm in 1st, barely). I'm looking to get a leg up on 2nd place in those categories to help cement my place in 1st. We're both taking the day to think about it and will decide tomorrow. If I take the deal, I'd probably keep Burns instead of Ristolainen, but wasn't quite sure. The deal is mostly to help me win this year, but may improve my keepers on D too. What do you think?

    My first time through I thought it was Burns for Little, Spezza, Neal and Burakovsky, and I would still take that deal. No brainer in the end, win now and sort out your keepers after the season (Though I don't see this as a downgrade on keepers either).

    Definitely do this deal. Burns helps in several categories and Little should turn it around. You're losing a lot of shots in Neal but should make them up pretty easily with the combo you receive. If for whatever reason they decide they don't want to do it or are hesitant, toss in another small piece you can afford to lose

    He wanted to wait a day to think about it but was still in this morning, so I took it and ran. Now just waiting for it to process. Thanks
