Looking to grab Kesler

[westcoaststicks]

Kesler is back and (so far) looking like a pretty good fantasy option.

I would like to offer a trade for him but having a hard time estimating his worth.

Looking at my roster, what do you guys think?

I'd say you need more help on LW than C

Kesler is C/RW in most pool providers so it may not help you as much.

Have you asked the GM what he wants for Kesler?

Have you assessed his team's weaknesses?

All valid things to consider before putting an offer together.

I know what I wrote doesn't really help you that much but I think it's not Kesler that you need right now.

But to answer your question. If it was me I would start with either Bergeron + or Henrique +

Cheers

the time to get kesler was while he was injured after coming off a let down season

going after him after he comes back and looks like he is going to get points is asking to pay through the nose

the guy held him this long what is his incentive to trade him other than gross overpayment

Based on what lucifer just said, which is spot on I might add, do you still want to trade for Kesler?

[westcoaststicks]

Basically I'm looking to get a hold of a shooter/scorer and my hope was that Kesler wouldnt be too expensive. But as it turns out he is.

The guy grabbed him off waivers last week, and is now asking a lot for him. His latest offer was Kesler and Landeskog for Giroux.

(This guy is particularly slick with his trades. He has managed to get Stamkos for a bag of pucks, and Daniel Sedin for some hockey tape.)

oh hell no

i refuse to trade for players i could have had for free the week prior

you dont compound one mistake (not picking the player up yourself) with another (overpaying for that player)

Although I'm sure we are all guilty of doing just that at least once That's why it's called fantasy

And now that the technical aspect has been covered I am going to mention my initial thought to the thread topic ...

WWKD !
