Ovechkin for Seguin + Strome

[Thunder]

Hey guys,

Back in September, I was approached by the Ovechkin owner about a trade.

Because of the lockout, we never went any further than Ovechkin for Seguin +, without getting into what the + could be.

I'm bored and want to revive our talks. I suspect he'd want the throw-in to be substantial and was thinking of offering Strome.

I'm still not completely sold on Strome and figure with him leading the OHL this is as good a time as any to trade him.

This is for league in sig, so points-only.

I'd be surprised if that's all it took, but worth a shot. I'd definitely be looking for more than Strome if it was me.

[Wotan]

I'd be surprised if the OV owner was THAT sold on Strome to accept this. Much more likely he'll just roll his eyes and ignore your message. I think he's more likely to e.g. ask for Seguin and Getz - that's more realistic IMO.

I think you will have to add a little more to make this trade happen. This is a good starting point though. I would offer this to begin with and wait for him to counter you.

It's a pretty fair deal... though I'd go with Ovechkin.

In points-only, an 80pt Seguin really ain't that far off a 85/90pt Ovechkin (who I see more as an 85pt player).

I really don't think Strome has much value in a 12-team, 11F pool until probably 2015.
If it was Seguin + Eriksson (or something, then I like it).

Not a bad deal at all, I'm a huge fan of Seguin.

Strome just doesn't do it for me, I'd want a better prospect if I was trading away Ovechkin.

I'd need more than that to move Ovechkin.

A lot are saying it's not enough for Ovechkin but not everyone has the balls to put up with his down years. I think this offer is a solid starting point.

Agreed.

Seguin is, to steal from Zoolander, so hot right now.

20 goals in 20 games in teh Swiss League. I know it ain't the NHL, but that's still impressive.

And if I had a choice in a points-only keeper, it would be a tough call b/c I was just telling a buddy I think Seguin will be the next guy to randomly hit 90pts. They guy that, 55 games into the season, you're going "shit, he's gonna hit 90".

I know Ovechkin has been there, but Seguin is pretty durned good.

Adding Strome may or may not get it done but this, to me, is a really good starting point.

strome is not enough to add to get OV unless the OV manager is realy soured on his sub-par season. this may be the case so send an offer out and see what happens.its not too low of an offer to be considered an insult. imo.
