In a cap league, that'd be pretty tempting. How high is the 1st? Hughes cheap for a few years is nice. Petey rocks though...
I don't want to trade Pettersson. I wasn't planning on trading Pettersson. But it's the deadline. And I am itchy. Do I do this in the cap league below?

Big fat nope. Kelly Youngblood would punch you in face if you did.

Not super high but it's a shallow league. And I only have a 4th at the moment. So it'd be nice.
Way I see it, if I'll get comparable production from Pete and Barzal for the playoffs this year... so that's a wash. Next year Barzal gets what? 8? EP will still be 900k, so that's suck. But after that, what does he get? 10? And if the cap jumps? 12?
Does a great buy low opportunity on Hughes and a 1st make it worth it? Hmm

That is a good offer. I'd do it - you're giving up the best player but I think the margin is close enough between Hughes and Barzal to make it worth it.
I also pull the trigger from an asset management perspective. Those are 3 legitimately attractive assets to leverage for future use.

I agree, I'd take that. I mean Pettersen is probably the best player in the deal, but not by much.
You hurt your cap situation next year with Barzal vs Pettersen, but then Pettersen will likely make more than Barzal and you'll have some Hughes on the cheap for some prime production. Not to mention the 1st which could turn into a keeper asset as well. How high is that 1st?
I mean, it depends a bit on your cap situation and if this really screws things up, but if you have room, I make the deal.
Oh wow, that is a tough one. Three real top guys to own in cap leagues, though Barzal is going to drop this summer with his extension (I think we see similar to the $7M his captain is earning).
Honestly don't know what I would do, but it would depend on my window to win, and how high that 1st is.

Ah Too Funny!!! Have some beers and go to bed and look at it tomorrow. I don't mind this at all depending on what that pick translates into. What does not super high mean? This is a strong draft that is upcoming and a player in the top ten is likely going to be a solid asset. Pettey for Barzal, Hughes and a top 10 this year is something I would do. Unless Pettersson starts putting up McJesus type numbers (which I don't think is going to happen), this is a pretty awesome return. Hope this helps
