Kashing in on Karlsson?

[lucafen4]

Continuously moving out your older players when they still have significant value for younger players who are established but haven't reached full value should avoid ever needing to tear down everything for a complete rebuild. Moving a couple vets for solid return and 1-2 waiver adds and you could find yourself banging on the door in no time.

Karlsson has 8-10 more years of exceptional fantasy production still to come. He is the anchor of your franchise. Only trade him if you are blown away by the offer. You are good at this shit and you will have that team competing in rapid fashion.

Although I understand less about the whole not believing in Re-builds. but that was less so my point of the thread.

The mindset to get young overtakes the mindset of winning trades. Regardless of where you are now if you win a bunch of trades in a row you end up with a contender. Karlsson is a key piece for a championship team and IMO he'll still be one in three or five years.

Thanks fella! Yeah, this is quite the change for me. Never started off so far behind the 8 ball and far less experienced in this style of play. But Damn!!! It's fun trying. This league takes fantasy hockey to an entirely different level. I'm used to dominance... So even more greatfull for the brotherhood of support here while I dip my toe into less experienced waters.

LOL.. what sucks about being in this league is that it is full of Dobberites.. We can't post trade evaluations and we probably PM the same people..

Thanks EB, Axe and whoever else I pm for thoughts..

I can't say it hasn't happened haha. I'm giving the same advice no matter how many sides of the deal I see though.

If you guys don't mind losing a PM sounding board, and have a spot come open, let me know. Competitive leagues like this one seems to be are always fun to join.

^^^ NO WAY!! Im keeping you far from this league...

Was worth the try. Instead I'll just gain the trust of all of you, and make you my puppets

Moving Karlsson isn't something you do unless you get an offer you simply can't refuse. Chances are, when you see that, you won't need our advice.

Ditto! ROFLMAO! But frustrating just the same! What's Dobber 2.0 in times like these?

BTW jouko failed to impress on his offer. Damn fine but not fine enough. Fizz and I, ironically came the closest I think. But Fizz decided to be boring and keep the dumb pick!

Thank you sir! I guess I was getting a little antsy. I'm not usually the one to have the patience to deal with rebuilds... Which is just simply a fact of how my team ended up out of year 1. Note to self and all... 16th over all in an inaugural draft of 24 teams SUCKS! I mean I managed to nab Karlsson with that pick which I think was a win... But damn!!!!!

This thread continues to beat despite you saying you'd keep EK hours ago..........lubb dubb, lubb, dubb, lubb dubb....

[havanablast21]

Was also offered D.Strome, Nylander and Dumba. That raised my eye brow but I'm not to high on Dumba.

Ok ok... Shut it down...

(These kind of moves just get my fantasy juices flowing!!! )

[Hoopo]

Not sure I can reap the rewards of having Karlsson on my team as I wait for my limited young talent to improve.

Sounds just like the Senators. They're not moving him and neither should you

[tropheus_guy]

there is a reason why Karlsson's picture is one of the 4 featured on the dobber banner. 'Keeping Karlsson' is a good rule of thumb to apply. At least until his next contract.
