Batherson trade.

[bbfl1987]

First question, is Batherson going to be legit? Second, what would be a reasonable offer given what I have. Points only. 12 teams. 12F, 6D, 3G. 5 prospects. My useful picks are 3rd, 4th, 5th, 3 6ths, 7, 8..and some lesser picks.


Pre Draft...

Meier
Skinner
Nylander
Keller
Mantha
Kapanen
Konecny


Morrissey
Pulock
Sanheim



Binnington
Hart


(P) Brannstrom
(P) Borgstrom
(P) Dobson
(P) Wahlstrom

I'd try Dobson or Wahlstrom 1-1 see what the response is. And yeah.. i'm pretty confident he's for real. Going to be a good one.

[bbfl1987]

He said he wouldn’t want a prospect back. His prospect bench is currently full and he wants to draft one. So it would need to be a roster player and/or picks.

[lucafen4]

not sure I'd do it 1-1 right now. I'd want him to add to make that a fair value deal.
It could take Batherson 2+years to catch up to Kapanen's production in Ott.

[bbfl1987]

You think Konecny is worth hanging on to?

[lucafen4]

what's the cats for this league? affects his value as well as others

[bbfl1987]

Point only

[bbfl1987]

1.5 for PP point

[lucafen4]

1.5 for PP point

Yup.. he had a bad 1st half... but look at his 2nd half points.
I can see 60+pts this year.

[bbfl1987]

I’ve liked him from the start. Just hoping he can manage to somehow sneak into the top PP. I’ll likely use Kapanen to try and get Batherson. Kapanen didn’t get much PP time last season. I’m not sure that will change this season. Unless he gets traded. Haven’t heard many Kapanen rumours lately.

[jdreed3184]

Konecny >> Batherson at this point.

Of course, this could change but Konecny has demonstrated more certainty than Batherson.

[bbfl1987]

Yeah, I won’t be offering Konecny. If I get Batherson, he’ll still be on my prospect bench for next season and prospect points don’t count. I feel, though, that Batherson has a more clear path to top PP minutes just based on Philly being deeper. Kapanen I can’t imagine getting much more PP than he did last year. What do you guys think of him?

[thunderfist138]

Kapanen is great but I hear he might get packaged in a deal. I’ve heard more about kadri going though. How long until you have to have your roster set?

[bbfl1987]

Drops have already been made. We can now make off-season trades. I went with Pulock for Batherson. NYI has too many guys who could get in Pulock’s way. Including Dobson, whom I own. So to me this made sense. I think Batherson has a much clearer path to fantasy success.
