Trade / Thoughts

[Doyler]

Keeper Pool
Points based plus .5 for PP points

With San Jose slowing down, Im thinking of shipping Thorton off before his stock gets to low.
My goal this year is to get McKinnon, but i dont want to trade away good potential just to get him.
I am currently sitting 7th in a 10 team pool

What are your thoughts on McKinnon and do you think this trade is fair

Im looking at trading

Huh?
Giroux >> Thornton
RNH >> Backes
1st >> 2nd

In a points-only-league, I don't see why anybody would want the Thornton/Backes/2nd side. ???

Agreed. No one in their right mind would do that. RNH is low right now, but everyone knows it's temporary. Same w/Giroux. Their respective potentials is through the roof.

And how does that put you in position for Mackinnon? Just getting any first won't do it.

If you can get Giroux, do it before that GM wakes up and realizes how much of a knob he is.
