Crazy Trade

[Concrete]

Team in sig.
Going to propose my Olofsson+Trouba+Rittich for his Crosby+Letang+Lundqvist.
Is it worth it? Not enough from my end, or too risky for me?

[senryu]

Go ahead and propose it, but the guy with Crosby should reject it immediately.

Haha who would I have to add, or replace Olofsson with? What about removing the Trouba for Letang(it was just greedy)

[senryu]

The no-bench, no-IR twist does make it more interesting, and not as one-sided. But still, you're getting two (admittedly injured) elite options for guys who are close to your least valuable F, second-least valuable D, and least valuable G. Psychologically speaking, that's a huge hurdle to overcome.

I'd be inclined to switch out Letang or Crosby for your opponent's least valuable player at that position. That'd be closer to even than the current configuration.

I would keep your guys - one year league - who knows how long Crosby out for - 4-6 weeks, then they will probably bring him back slowly. Don't think in the long run you will come out ahead - Letang , bit of a band aid still. No Bench can you afford to have those guys out that long?

It's a good point. I'm in dead last 141 points back of leader already, so it probably doesn't matter what I do. Trying to gamble on a huge second half to get me back into contention.
