This is good! Mason and Lehtonen is what I was going to suggest anyway and the trade makes it a slam dunk in my opinion.
Dallas is loading up and Mason seems to legit now.
You can only keep 2, so making that Niemi trade is a nice move!
Niemi, Lehtonen, Mason

Both those elements make it a no brainer for me... Especially as Stalock may be given the chance to win the starting job
Yeah, I'll also agree that Lehtonen and Mason would be my choice.
If you can get something, let alone Kessel, in return for Niemi, then that's a home-run!
Without knowing your teams needs this is a simple yes. Kessel is frindge 1st round pick, plus you get a draft pick for a 3rd round goalie? Yeah do it

Niemi and Lehtonen would be my choice for keepers.
Too many are under valuing Niemi here and over valuing the erratic Mason.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Since you seem to be a leaf's fan and you own P Kess on Team 1, I'd say do the deal. Kessel/7th for Niemi is solid. Accept.

I figured when I'd offered it, it was win win... I was loosing the goalie regardless so i figured I'd better get a return on him! Now I have kessel to go along with JVR.... Come on PP Points :-) lol

wow I don't care how much anyone over vaules Mason. To go into next year Mason, Lethtonen and Kessel oppose to Niemi and Lethtonen is unreal. I own Kessel no way I am trading him for Niemi at this point in their careers

I wonder if you aren't undervaluing Shaw by dropping him though...
only my top 13 forwards count to the overall points so I'm hoping shaw is still available later in the draft so I can nab him again... I like him too... he's hails from my home town Belleville!

Trade complete!? Wow, that's awesome! I was going to suggest you keep Lehtonen and Mason over Niemi, but only because I like the chances of the team they're playing for. Niemi has Stalock behind him, but Stalock before last year was never seen as anything more than a good backup, and Sateri was supposed to be better than Stalock and he ended up leaving. Still, some uncertainty. Kessel coming back is fantastic.
