I'm trying to trade for Henrik Lundqvist given his current struggles. I'm trying to work it into either a 1 for 2 or 2 for 2 trade.
My team: Varlamov/Hiller + E. Staal, P.Datsyuk, J. Neal, Derek Stephan, Patrick sharp
His team: Lundqvist + JVR, Chris Kunitz, Jamie Benn, Patrick marleau, Bobby Ryan
What are your opinions on these trades? What would you offer? I want to win the trade obviously but it has to be close enough for him to consider it, he's not a rookie.
A) Hiller + J. Neal for Lundqvist
B) Hiller + E. Staal or P. Datsyuk for Lundqvist + Patrick Marleau or JVR
C) Hilller + P. Datsuk + P. Sharp for Lundqvist + B. Ryan or J. Benn
Any opinions or feedback appreciated
Firstly, you should provide all league settings so we can give you the most complete advice: What type of league? Categories? Is that your entire roster? If so, do you have a bench? Do you split by positions or is it forwards only? Etc.
That being said, honestly I can't see you getting a deal done. He likely drafted Lundqvist first so I don't think he'll panic to give him away now. Hiller/Varlamov (even with their starts) is not enough of a replacement regardless of who you offer offensively, since his offense is pretty solid already.
However, if you insisted, in a vacuum (not knowing the settings) you'd probably have to give your best (healthy) offensive player along with a goalie. So likely goalie + Staal.
But again, it depends on the details asked above and whether this manager actually wants to part with Lundqvist.
