need help please

[Henrik18]

Guy in last place offered me his Giordano+3rd round for my Tolvanen+1st

Don‘t know what to do?i really have a chance to win it this year...
But losing Tolvanen and my first really hurts!


Sidenote: we have to drop 3 players at the end (1 of top5/1 of top 10/1 random player of our team)

Should i counter/accept/decline?

Thanks for any ideas from you guys!

Team and league in sig!

In a 22 keeper league.. I would take this trade if it helps you get a win.

That twist of having to drop a top 5 and a top 10 player... that makes the 1st round pick hard to swallow.

Have you ever won the league before? Have you been in contention? If not, then I would take the risk. There is always a cost of doing business and it sometimes doesn't hurt to counter and offer and discuss it.

I would see if you can counter and either send a second rounder instead, or get a second rounder back.

It‘s our 4th year now,i won the first 2 years!
But our Dropsystem is new this year...so nobody knows about the real value of picks
But at this time guys like Landeskog/Atkinson/PLD/Bergeron would be top 5 guys!

Would you do Yandle+1st for Gio+3rd?

No he definitly wants the 1st so it‘s just the question of which player!

[Eskimo Brother]

Yandle to Gio isn't worth that draft pick difference.

Would Gio fit into your top 5 be droppable in that slot?

[Henrik18]

Gio is ranked 3rd in our league...so yes he would be droppable for me

currently my top 5 are

McDavid
Stamkos
Atkinson
Seguin
Pastrnak

[Henrik18]

Klefbom+1st fair?

[Henrik18]

Trade done
Klefbom+1st
Gio+3rd

Thanks for your input guys!

[Eskimo Brother]

That's decent. Allows you to keep a better set going into next year too which makes the picks sting less.

[Henrik18]

Would you drop Gio after this season as my top 5 drop or Atkinson?
