i think a rebuilding team turns this down since he gets a lot older.
oshie and gagne are similar value. so i would be looking more that the other 4 guys. personally i would take the gabby side, but not if i were rebuilding
my: Marleau (C,LW), Gaborik(RW), S.Gagne(LW)
for
His: Oshie(C,RW), Duchene(C,LW), Lucic(LW)
Scoring: PPA, PPG, G, A, +/-,PIM
im in 6th in a 10 GM league, but on any gven night i'm in 4th. falling behind in PPG and PIM. hes way last and rebuilding
positional req's and daily sets
i'm thinking on sending this but am i nuts? he may just decline it and i might be OK with it. hes been after Marleau and Gabby, and ive been after Lucic, so the others are "extras". i've been shopping Gagne for a bit as well.
PS this was his last offer to me:
Send David Clarkson, NJ RW
Send Marian Gaborik, NYR RW
Send Patrick Marleau, SJ C
Send Semyon Varlamov, Col G
Receive Matt Duchene, Col C
Receive T.J. Oshie, StL C
Receive Dmitry Kulikov, Fla D
Receive Jonas Hiller, Ana G
earlier i would have done this with the g-tender swap, but now, not so much...

Agreed that it doesn't make a lot of sense for the rebuilding guy to take this. On the other hand, I like the Duchene side, so if he bites, I'd take it. You get rid of 2 injury prone guys for 2 up and comers and a beast of LW in Lucic.

Like these guys said, I think the side you own is more valuable if you want to compete this season, and the long term value is actually pretty close, I would stand pat.

he gets older and if he is rebuilding he is going to want to get younger.

I don't see how this trade makes any sense for him as well if he is a rebuilding faze. All he is doing is trading younger players with no injury concerns for older BAB of similar up sides. Gaborik is the best player in the trade but if I'm a rebuilding team I don't want to structure my rebuild on a guy I can't count on being in the line up. Offer it but I highly doubt he accepts or you even get a counter.

grammar Nazi
Noun
(slang, idiomatic) 1. A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others, especially in situations where it is unnecessary, e.g. an informal conversation.
Notes: This behavior is almost always found in people with very low I.Q's, whom have a very low sense of self worth. Impotence is also commonly linked to Grammar Nazi's.
all good comments, and all makes sense, but thats why i added in the original offer he sent me, which doesnt shed any light on the fact that he is rebuilding.
He is rebuilding, but it doesnt seem to make sense in his offer (which i havent declined yet either, but likely will with the goalies in there, and no Lucic.)
with those guys in my lineup i could potentailly compete and be youthful at the same time. i guess my original question has been answered, i'm not crazy for offering up what i did...maybe i'm asking for too much in return?
Sir.
With all due respect.
Go the hell back and take his original offer. Do it now. Tell him you reconsidered and it's acceptable. Hell try and work him for a draft pick. But that original offer is a KILLING for you now and long term.
Hiller will bounce back. He's better then varly now and later.
Kulikov is better now and later than clarkeson.
Gabby and Marleau to Oshie and Duchene is iffy but you win the other two.
GO DO THIS!!!!
