Acquiring Neal and Malkin Help

[2014olympicgold]

Everyone gets rep for this, looking at this it’s a bit far fetch to get Malkin and Neal. I thank all of you for the input; I’ll need to have a reality check on Backstrom’s value.
I’m in contact with the GM and I have a verbal acceptation on a version of the trade. Our league is locked for trades so the Commish has to do the transfer manually. And won’t do it until he’s back from vacation (middle of May).

The GM has accepted:
Backstrom, Voracek, 2^nd round pick (8^th round after keepers) for Malkin and a low end pick. (Nyquist was involved, but pulled him out).

That's a good trade for you. Backstrom is solid with a nice upside, but it doesn't reach Malkin level. In a limited keeper, Malkin is huge and you landed him at a very reasonable price.

I get the sense that he accepted because he too is frustrated with Malkin's proneness to injury. Good for you.

Had I been the other GM, I would not have done it, unless you offered Stammer OR EK, as others have pointed out.

Well done!

why don't I ever have these owners so willing to trade Malkin in my leagues

You definitely got him at a bargain bin price. As a malkin owner that offer I would not even considered as getting in the car to get to the ball park.
