Yes, I think you should go for it.
I’m in a 16 team salary cap dynasty league, and I’ve inquired the GM that has Alexis Lafreniere (500k Minor) about a trade. He told me his price for him would be 2 1st round picks (one must be in 2022) and a top prospect. Now, I was thinking that instead of a top prospect, I would give him Casey Mittelstadt (700k x 4 years) and my first in 2022 and 2023, but, I’m not sure if I’m risking a lot with those 2 firsts. I would have no first in 2023, but I would still have 2 firsts in 2022, with both firsts having a very high likelihood of being top 5 picks in the first round. I’m not concern about resign Laferniere next season, I’m just not sure if it’s worth the risk of giving up 2 firsts, so I want to hear everyone opinions as if it’s worth parting those firsts for them.
