Tavares offer

[Cpedersen84]

In a points cap dynasty. Been offered stone and mittelstadt for Tavares. Thoughts?

[lucafen4]

where are you on the cap? what is the cap? is it 1g 1a? & how many per position?

Good questions. Important questions.

Without knowing these answers I would say Quality over quantity and the Tavares side. but with these questions it might change... and it also depends on what Stone gets in arbitration.

[Cpedersen84]

Sorry guys, got distracted.
4C, 4RW, 4LW, 6D, 2G
36 player roster
I’m at the cap now but I’ll be dropping Leddy and zetterberg in all likelyhood. Minors roll in and out of the lineup.

g=1.5 (2.0 for d)
a,shp=1 (1.5 for d)
hit,bs,pim,shot=0.1
ppp,gwg,+/-=0.5

If you're at the cap with him - there's no reason to move him. Find cap-space elsewhere. Tavares has never played in a line up this stacked with talent. Keep JT.

I agree with Luca, keep Tavares.

I stick by my answer. Especially if you can drop Zetterberg. You are not over the cap and do not need to move out his salary.

I’m heavy on centers with mackinnon, eichel, Tavares and scheifele. That is my primary reason for wanting to trade a big center. I figured he made the most sense with his cap hit and recent hype.

I'm not opposed to trading from a position of power for a position you're lacking, but trade a stud for a stud. I'd rather go 1 for 1 for a top end winger or d men depending on your teams needs.

The way this offer stands definitely keep Tavares. He may never be more valuable than he is to alot of people right now and stone / mittelstadt isn't the package I'd be looking for, it's not enough.

[J0e Th0rnton]

Silly low offer. His value is at an all time high right now because of the unknown of him playing somewhere with better talent. Unfortunately, history has shown stats sometimes DECREASE when played on a stronger team due to less icetime, protecting leads more, etc

[Eskimo Brother]

He went almost straight up for Marchand in a cap league of mine recently. If you're moving him out, that's the kind of trade you need to make.
(Different categories and setup and all, but you get the idea.)

[DusterDave]

Keep Johnny T. There is a possibility of him putting up career numbers in Toronto.

There's also a possibility of him retiring and becoming a travelling magician. You never know whats going to happen

You really think Tavares having a career year in Toronto is that far fetched? He?s going from having Bailey on his wing to a team that has 2 explosive offensive lines.

Historically, players going to a better team post WORSE or comparable individual numbers. Players tend to post their career offensive numbers on teams where they see all offense flow through them. More icetime, all PP time, protecting a lead means playing more carefully as opposed to always trying to score because you are behind, etc etc
