Back to the original post - I will be offering him a 2 for 1, but I don't feel I'd be really overpaying because I'll be dropping one of those guys anyway if I can't move him.
My 7 keepers locked in are Kane, Benn, Neal, Parise, Pietrangelo, OEL, Lundqvist. That only leaves room for 1 more keeper. Ideally I think it's better strategy to fill that last spot with another top end Dman instead of a 5th forward, since top dmen are quite valuable in my league.
I wasn't aware that Byfuglien is looking to be a forward all next season. That certain would change things.
Maurice already announced that Buff will be a F next year, so depending which service hosts your league, you could see a change as soon as this upcoming season......it's just something to keep in mind, as with those forwards Buff would not even be a keeper for you if he were to lose his D status. Personally, if you can find a manager willing to sell McD at a decent price, I think that is a fantastic investment.....his arrow is still pointing up and we haven't come close to seeing his full potential yet. McD is going to win a Norris at some point, and would have likely cracked 50 points if he did not get hurt at the end of this year.....and this is after an abysmal first month for the whole NYR team, and playing for a team that could not score goals this year. If the NYR offence wakes up next year, watch out!
Personally, I think this will be one of the last opportunities to snag McD at a reasonable price , so if you can acquire him I think that would be a very solid move. He is still at the stage where his "name value" is still not close to his actual fantasy value in many leagues....McDonagh was still only owned in 79% of Yahoo leagues at the end of the season, which is a total farce considering the unreal season he had. These are the players you really want to target via trade to maximize your return and value added. Who does your trade partner want in exchange?
