Welcome to the boards
Yes , it makes sense to me. Id do the deal. Best player of the deal: Malkin
Btw, what are your scoring categories? How many you start? positions in play? how many teams?
Hey all, this is my very first post, and I will be sure to stick around!
I am in a Dynasty salary cap league and the Evgeni Malkin owner is in a bit of cap trouble, so he put him on the block.
These are my current players and I have roughly 12 Million in cap space after just "stealing" James neal which cost me 5.5 Million & my 2012 1st & 2nd round Amateur picks and my 2013 1st round Amateur as compensation.
I thought I would get a few opinions, Malkin (1 year @ 9M & following year @ 7.5M) Neal (5 years @5M) & LAndeskog (2 years @ .925), plus an additional 1 Million in cap space.
Malkin = 9M
Neal =5M
Landeskog =.925
Cap Space =1Million
leaves me with additional 4.075M of cap hit which brings me to around 8 Million leaft in cap space.
Here's the rest of my team, roster 21 players, so if I did this I will have to draft/sign 5 players.
Nicklas Backstrom
Mikko Koivu
Lars Eller
Evander Kane
James Neal
David Desharnais
Wayne Simmonds
Patrick Kane
Marian Gaborik
Gabriel Landeskog
Zdeno Chara
Brent Burns
Luke Schenn
Yannick Weber
Corey Crawford
Niklas Backstrom
I hope this all makes sense, and I am ready to do it, but I rationalize that by the seasons end Neal/Landeskog will have more combined points that Malkin. But Malkin is maybe the best player in the NHL.
Does this deal make sense??
Thanks!

I suppose I'll be replacing Landeskog with Kreider.
Should I worry about dealing with a new Malkin contract in a year or 2? I worry that he might get some insane deal and cost me 10M-11M per season or so. And I am also leary of Russians with the ever threatening "KHL departure".
But I agree, Malkin is the best player in the deal, which is why I told him I need tonight to think this over, AKA run to the Dobber Boards to get some opinions!
I actually just asked him if I could swap out LAndeskog with Kreider, as this deal would totally deplete my LW depth, and he will also be getting a promising young center back as well.....
Nope. that's his final-
I give - Neal+ Landeskog+1M in cap space
I Get- Malkin

Thanks. I'm sure I will, just gonna wait to see if anyone else comments.
I am always on a football message board at dynastyleaguefootball.com and usually like to get at least 2 or 3 points of view on a trade idea.
I bought time by letting the owner know I want to sleep on it and he is totally cool with it.
Get Malkin while you still can. That's a cheap price in my opinion even with the extra cap hit

beauty. thanks guys..... I'll pull the trigger tomorrow morning..... see if any straggler comments come in.....
Busy day today, but I will become more of a fixture around these boards!
I would also pull the trigger. Guys like Malkin dont come available very often. Grab him while you can.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I agreed to the deal.
I had a major man crush on Landeskog, and Neal + Landeskog will probably equal over 300+ hits this year combined.
But still, it's Malkin. In his prime.
Thanks for the advice guys. I will be back on when I can to pay it forward to others seeking advice!
