targeting Loui Eriksson

[Schaefer]

Hi,

As I am trying to beef up my team to be able to compete now, I am trying to acquire Eriksson (hes one of the few 60+ producer available).

First,d o you think it makes sense with my team to go after him and second, what would you offer from my team to get him?

Thanks!

I don't think he will hit 60 points, and wouldn't count on him coming close to doing so. I'd treat him as a 50-point guy at the most. I'd be looking at other 60-point options.

[Eskimo Brother]

I agree with Collins. He's a 45-50 point guy in my mind, if he is healthy.

[Kabonov]

I agree with the above... 50-55ish.

However, if Mikkel Boedker is available he might be a cheaper option.
And I believe he'll hit 60pts + mark this season. Worth a try Good Luck

[Schaefer]

ok thanks! what would you offer for Boedker?

[Sulla]

what does the other GM want for him?

[Schaefer]

he says he is open to all scenario, but he won the league last year and as a lot of establish players, so picks and farm prospect I assume.

[Sulla]

I'd ask for some names TBH - way too vague

[Schaefer]

I did but he didn't give anything, hence why I am asking here first to make sure I am not sending too much.

This might be abit to vague to advise you what to offer. As in what Draft pick you own what does the GM want/need/willing to take etc.

Sell it is it's a gamble for Boedker and use last years stats as a sales pitch. He's a filler/gamble winger at best etc.
And offer wise... ( always give minimal to start, and add a little if he turns down... but again depends what you have to spare and what that GM needs) Good Luck

I have everything but my 4pick. Boedker is either not a keeper for hm or is last one (based on last year production).

Would Kapanen + a 3rd pic make sense for exemple?

Kapanen + a 5th or 6th to start. 3rd still decent pick. You trade junk for junk (that's the pitch) Most likely he'll want more... so offer the 6th and then he'll say nah... then pretend to be reluctant and offer the Kapanen + a 5th.

P.S. I wouldn't want Kapanen at all. dump him asap. bottom 6 players u can get anywhere.

[Schaefer]

doesn't seem to interested in kapanen (not that suprising ;-)) would goldobin or Milano be too much?

No, I'd trade them all for Boedker and a higher draft picks. If you can pull it off.
If you can moves these guys for better active roster player of HIGH draft picks.

I'd move these guys
Rantanen, DeAngelo, Ceci, R.Strome (ask for high draft picks 3rd and up "try to package deal it")
Beaulieu, Nurse, Goldobin (lower good NHLer but not that impact value in the fantasy world)
Kapanen, B.Ritchie, Milano, Merkley, C.Miller, R. Anderson, Tolchinsky, Braco, Sompel. (Junkers/throw ins)

Your other prospects are solid, so keep them.
