Who is Ben? Bishop?
To me it looks like Hertl plus this guy's drops, and while I don't think Ovie has a lot of years left, him and whoever you keep is probably move valuable than the mess of guys you're being offered.
To me:
Toews,J
Hertl
Barrie
Ben
Kuz
I send:
Ovie
Ok so I’m sure the return by itself is worth it BUT the number of players I have to drop just becomes something I’m not sure makes this workable.
I already have 5 drops to make (Vora, Schenn, Kapanen, Martinez and Ekholm are who I have tabbed)
I know a lot of Arvid suggestions will come up as well but WWYD do here?

I agree with this. It kinda looks like this guy is emptying his trash in your lap. All I see is alot of speculative adds that require you to speculate more on who to drop to accomodate them. I think if it were me I'd rather save myself the headache and keep the guy I don't have to speculate as much on. The only ones I might be able to convince myself to be optimistic about are Kuznetsov and Barrie, so the others just end up being possible drops.

Sorry all Ben is Benn. Autocorrect
No. This isn’t his trash by any means. They will all be kept by him, not that these are his top list keepers tho.

I just don't see how this helps you. While Ovy will not be productive forever, this is still a quantity for quality deal and the guy getting the quantity seldom comes out ahead. Pass.

It's not brutal, but not great. I'd consider it if he throws in a couple pick upgrades as well. Ask for more.

it a case of quality over quantity i prefer keeping ovy at the end who ever you drop the deal look like these
ovy, Voracek, Schenn, Kapanen and Martinez
for
Toews,J, Hertl, Barrie, Benn, Kuz
i don't see why you have to drop 5 if you receive ovy

Good call. Maybe shop OV around to some top teams who want to make a push this coming season. Get one or two good younger pieces and a pick upgrade or two for him. Otherwise just hold him.
Good decision. I agree that you should deal him but get some quality (youth) back if possible. Good luck.
Call me old one more time.
