Offered Phil Kessel - Need some advice

[HockeyRed]

This morning I was offered Phil Kessel for my Roman Josi and Nick Foligno. I think that I am winning this trade but was hoping for some feedback. I would prefer to give up a Giordano rather than Josi. This is a 16 team league.

My team is...

C - Hanzal, Toews, Little
LW - Bennm Foligno
RW - Hornqvist, Vrbata
D - Giordano, Shattenkirk, Josi, Gudas

IR - McDavid, Keith, Couture

Can anyone help me pull the trigger or modify the offer with another defensemen? Thanks.

Who could you pick up from the waiver wire if you did this trade

A few questions and a comment first:

Don't focus about winning the trade (what do you win exactly?), rather instead whether it helps your team. To figure that out, you should specify more details:

- What type of league (H2H, roto etc)? Sometimes this can make a difference in the advice given and value of the players provided.
- What are the categories?
- It's not clear if you have a bench, so how many do you start?

Aside from the perceived value of the players, I see that could leave you short at LW and heavy at RW. How would that affect your starters/bench players?

Further information is required to get a better idea how suitable this is for your team, even IF the perceived value is arguably in your favour.

I agree with HF that it would be nice to see all the details.

You say you'd rather include Giordano instead of Josi. Have you sent that as a counter offer?
