Goaltending Trade -REP-

[Doug Glatt]

League in sig.

I have done a series of trades that have resulted in me flipping Justin Faulk into Henrik Lundqvist.

Since then have been talking with a new OGM about a deal. I was originally going after his Shestyorkin so I would have Hank's replacement. But the OGM mentioned he could also just give me Martin Jones for The King and then he would have the NYR tendies. Then he backtracked a bit and added that he would need a prospect tacked on due to the age difference. I have cornered him into accepting Ivan Barbashev off my farm, whom I recently acquired as a throw-in on another trade. I have pimped Lundqvist like a Bangkok prostitute to every OGM in the league who has the best Gs for dynasty formats. The following is the best offer I have received.

The deal would be my Lundqvist and Barbashev for his Martin Jones.

How do we feel about this transaction? REP for your reasoned opinion.

Mash accept.

[Rockies & Hockeys]

Good win for you!

[MZac]

I like it DG. It's another incremental improvement that is more than likely a win for you. More upside than downside.

[lucafen4]

yup, love this deal for you... Lundy is still really good, but he's shown signs of regression off and on over the past couple years - with some seriously disgusting patches of .700 svpct (basically). To rejuvenate your crease with Jones by only adding Barbashev (who I consider a completely replaceable & therefore expendable prospect) - using the words from above

mash accept

Wow. No love for The King (#8) here, eh? He has been quite a bit better than Jones (#17) in my scoring system. But Jones is 8 years younger, so there is that.

I own him in 2 leagues. I'm waiting for his new years month where he's the worst G in the league. No one other than Couture has done much on SJ... I think they as a team improve 2nd half. Moving forward, I don't know if you get this much value for Lundy.

If you think you can win this year - then perhaps you stick with the hotter hand.

Yeah this is my main focus, I have been flipping this asset over and over and I think Jones might be the end result. He's definitely the best G anyone in my league is offering for him. So its time to grab that last stud-tier G value deal and cash out before the collapse. I thought I was pretty lucky getting Lundy from Luongo and change. And that deal was closed and passed through trade review a mere 6 hours before Luongo had his big injury. This would be Jones from Henrik and change (Barbashev, who I agree is utterly expendable), and that appraises like a pretty nice series of pulls. Kinda feels like riding a big streak in Vegas. Fortunately, overall it looks like a good move according to the pros here.

[SuperMario]

Not a pro here, but I agree - Barbashev is essentially a throw-away. If he's going to take Lundy for Jones and Barbashev, you need to accept this trade before he comes down off his high.

[Fighting_Emu]

Yea Barbashev is whatever and Ill take Jones over Lundy at this point with more than a normal degree of confidence.

[Doug Glatt]

I can pick up Henrik Borgstrom to fill my open spot, too.

this is a prospect I would stash as a must hold.

Excellent. I'm not crazy then. Borgstrom gets no love around here, and I am usually reluctant to bring him up because I want him to be a very dark secret until I own him. Wasnt sure if anyone else around here liked him as much as I do. Now I will finally have the room to add him.

[Doug Glatt]

Done deal. Exit Lundqvist, Barbashev. Enter Jones, Borgstrom.

Thanks for the insights. REPs bestowed upon the eligible.
