Just got offered Logan Couture for my William Nylander all points

[StuntMan12]

in my rebuilding money team. IS THIS THE RIGHT DEAL FOR ME. Am i crazy to even consider rejecting?

[ericdaoust]

1) I'd do this deal regardless of team situation (more experienced rebuilders might disagree here).
2) I'm think you might be able to milk an extra asset out of him.

[StuntMan12]

I've never had a trade proposal make me so SICK before. I think its a good offer but at the same time Im such a big fan of Nylander. But if I want to win next year? UGGGHH

it would help if we could see your full roster to assess where you are in your rebuild.

I'd reject though.. Couture is a 65pt guy, with some injury history I wouldn't be shocked to see Nylander put up 50+ next season and then with a stronger team catch or pass Couture in yr2. Couture just isn't enough to give up the top drafted prospect not in the NHL who has such a dynamic skill set.

Stay the course. Keep or get your mind blown (Couture +) FYI - That's an extra big plus

[StuntMan12]

I have no shot this year. I'm thinking if its worth getting Couture now since I'm some what NEAR contention. I have one guy messaging me on facebook saying im an idiot if i dont accept. im struggling

[StuntMan12]

i'm currently sitting 10/15. My ppg is .72 while the leader has .80. I have a lot of games missed because of prospects. I have highest PPG in teams in my standings area

take it! but if it was his first offer then you can get an extra piece. couture is a beast and still young enough

[StuntMan12]

i accepted. man this might hurt in the end if nylander becomes a complete SUPERSTAR. but in the end it moves my rebuild along quicker

[Triplea14]

good move

[Wonko]

I think you did well. I would have tried for an extra piece though as that was his first offer.

[ericdaoust]

There's really not much space between where Couture is now (and will be 3-5 year down the road) and what people would call superstar level.

I didn't want to eye gouge him. Plus we can only do 20 point diff in trades. We trade a guys points along with the player.

[Lemmy]

Never get greedy when you already are coming out on top, Couture is a proven NHL player. Nylander might turn out to be better, but he has the chance to be a bust.

Couture has already proven he is a player you can roster every night.
