    Default Big Trade! Help me out

    EDIT:

    My Kakko, MacAvoy, Barzal, E Bouchard for his Marchand and J Carlson

    It stings to give away so much future potential—do Marchand and Carlson get me over the finish line???

    I’m in the lead hanging on by a thread. Points only pool, dynasty, 14 teams in the league. Roster 6 forward (no positional requirement), 4 defense (goals are worth 2 points), 2 Goalies.

    I’ve never won and have been in the league over a decade. Is my judgment cloudy here? Any opinions greatly appreciated, rep given.

    That’s a lot of future to give up in a full dynasty... but to win it all after 10 years is a pretty big deal. And Carlson and Marchand should still be great for a few more years... it’s almost like you have to take a run now to win it all

    It is definitely a tough package to give up.. Couldn't you go after a couple less expensive guys to help out?? Like Nurse, Toffoli, Trochek, Etc??

    Sorry 1 Barzal! I’m going a little crazy here. I thought of Nurse, but the guy in second has him.

    Marchand and Carlson will still be valuable for the next few years, so its not a terrible move.. Tough giving up Barzal........ You are definitely in a pickle. We can all say make the trade or don't make the trade.. In the end, do what will make you happy my friend!!

    Sorry I screwed that up! It was supposed to be: my MacAvoy, Barzal, Kakko, Evan Bouchard for his J Carlson and Marchand

    Does this change anyone’s thoughts? Thanks!

    Ouch... but Marchand and Carlson are pretty valuable fantasy players so I do understand the sale price. If you win this season, I think you’re happy with the trade - if you don’t, I think you’ll be disappointed in the future paying this price. (But then if you miss the W and don’t make the trade you’ll always wonder)...

    I love the trade today but I am not making this trade because you will have to watch these 4 guys blossom and regret you traded them. If you made the trade knowing you would win the league forsure, then maybe.. But too much risk for me. My opinion anyway..

    Ok so in the end, I traded away MacAvoy and E Lindholm for Carlson. How did I do, considering MacAvoy is inured and I’m in first by a narrow margin and Lindhol won’t be a keeper for me?

    I like that better. Your original deal was basically two producing players (McAvoy plus Barzal) for two very good prospects for two aging stars. I wouldn't have done the first one but MacAvoy and Lindholm for Carlson is quite good considering MacAvoy is injured and Lindholm wasn't a keeper. Well done!

    That's a great move. Carlson > McAvoy as a keeper. Plus he helps you this year.

    My league would never accept that trade. First part is paying too heavily for Marchand and Carlson.
