Trade Opinion

Am I being a jealous joey or is this a stinky trade? (points only league in sig)

Podkolzin
Kadri
2nd round pick (low)

for

E Lindholm
Shattenkirk
5th round pick (high)

There's a wide range of outcomes for Podkolzin, so I feel like how one views this deal depends on what you think about his potential and his timeline for meeting it. If you think it's high enough, then the downgrade from Lindholm to Kadri and the loss of Dman who seemed done three weeks ago is worth it, particularly with pick upgrade.

I'd say it's a bad trade, but not a stinky one.

Nobody seems to bothered by this so just sour grapes on my part. Feel i could have made a better deal to get Lindholm. Anyway, thanks guys.

Yeah, valuing prospects comes down to which guys you believe in versus those you don't. If the presumptive trade partner doesn't like your guys as much as somebody else's, it's not likely to get done if prospects are the deal focus for them.
