    Default Trading for Marchand

    For second league in sig

    I have an offer on the table: two of JT Miller / Ehlers / ROR for Marchand.

    Here are my thoughts:

    -Sending 2 players for 1 isn't much of a problem for me because I have one extra player on my team for keeper limit (12) and the player being cut would be Ehlers unless something drastically changed in the offseason (ie if he were traded to another team with PP1 time).

    -At first glance I would be tempted to accept but I begin to wonder if acquiring Marchand now would be buying age because of his age (32). I can probably count for 2 seasons of good production which would be valuable because I think I can compete in the next 2 years.

    -I would be prefer sending Ehlers + Backstrom but the other GM has already declined that one.

    - The GM doesn't any picks in the first 4-5 rounds of the draft, so I'm unlikely to get a sweetener in this one unfortunately.

    I'd be glad to have further inputs ! Thanks in advance.

    ehlers and miller i would do if FOW count i would not want to lose ROR, if they dont count then id probably do any combination, marchand is better than all three and 32 is not that old imo

    The other GM abruptly changed his mind and is asking for Stamkos + Ehlers now. Uuuuuuughhh.
    Thanks for everyone that chimed in, maybe I should have just pressed accept as soon as I received that offer. I'll explore my options but I don't know if something will come out of it.

    Ya I'd probably pass there too. Tell him thanks but no thanks.

    Marchand will still be very productive for the next 2-3 years IMO, and he is elite, where none of the initial guys you were discussing would be categorized as. That said, having to include Stamkos, is now him asking too much. Maybe he is seeing if he can push the asking price, maybe he got the impression that you really like Marchand. Either way, if he is serious about moving Marchand, he will come back to you, and I would look to move Ehlers, and Miller. I know Miller had a great season, but I don't put him in that point a game player tier, until he backs it up...something Marchand has been doing for many years now.

    Ehlers and Miller for Marchand would be a good trade but I am not sure I would move Stamkos straight up for Marchand in a points only league. I definitely would not be willing to add Ehlers.
