Letang?

[Peteyzero]

Keeper league points only pool, Ive been offered letang and a lower first round draft pick for Noah Hanifin and my higher first round draft pick...anyone know Letangs status for next year? I dont believe Hanifin has ever been or will be an offensive juggernaut, but if there is no chance of Letang coming back, I still lose here. Anyone in the know with any info?

[Hunter9]

I mean, Letang>>>>Hanifin. So without knowing more about the league, I say take it.

Can't imagine any situation you lose this trade unless you plan to acquire Letang then drop him..

[Peteyzero]

I agree completely, but if he's still not ready to play next year.... I just havent heard any information, or been able to find anything..

[Hunter9]

That's probably what the other guy is thinking... I haven't heard anything, but if someone was offering me star (albiet the ultimate BAB) for a slight pick downgrade and a filler I would jump on it.

Take advantage of his uncertainty.

Last thing I read said Letang is on track in his rehab, might miss a few games at the beginning of the season but thus far there have been no setbacks that will alter the timeline in a significant way. Unless your pick is top 2 this deal looks like a great value for you and you should accept it immediately before the OGM wakes up and realizes how low he is selling.

[Hunter9]

Agree, second the other GM gets any whiff of positive news on Letang this offer is gone.

[StuntMan12]

I imagine Letang should start the season on time. If the offer is anything other than 1st or 2nd in the draft then I would take this trade without thinking twice. Still only 30 years old, has the injury concerns but overall I think you're gaining value with this trade and could just flip Letang before the season starts if you don't want him.

I agree. If a report comes out saying Letang is good to go, I suspect this deal gets pulled. I suspect it is only available due to the uncertainty. If you have a 'win now' team, i'd go for it.

[RizzeeDizzee]

It will take maybe 30-35 games for Letang to produce what Hanifin will do in a season; and guess what - Letang has never played that few games even in his worst full season. Take this deal immediately.

[Peteyzero]

Thanks All.

Other consideration is if you can then sell Letang again when he's healthy and get someone a little more reliable but maybe slightly underappreciated like Hamilton, it would be a big win.

[Sulla]

Easy win unless it's a cap league... Injured or not right now when he is back it isn't even close

[Peteyzero]

Trade is made folks, thanks. Seemed like a no brainer, which made me nervous. Chalk it up as a rare win and I'll move on!

[Axeman33]

Well this is good news for Letang owners.

Totally understand your reservations on pulling the trigger - if something seems too good to be true, it usually is. I'd take that deal 10 times out of 10. Well done pressing accept before more news comes out.
