Trading for Dahlin : Need your advice
What's going on folks! I could really use your advice on this trade that I'm about to make.
I'm in a 11-team points-only keep-11 keeper league (details in sig), rebuilding and currently last. The guy who is 2nd in my league is trying to make a push for the win and wants my Malkin & Kadri. In return, I'm asking for his first-round pick and Rasmus Dahlin. Since we have to respect each positions in a trade to finish with the same number of players at each position, the whole trade would look like this :
Malkin + Kadri + Provorov + a pick (that we haven't yet determined) VS Atkinson + Garland + Dahlin + 1st.
In my league, the last 3 teams participate in a playoff pool during the NHL playoffs. The winner gets the first overall pick. Assuming I'm trading Malkin and Kadri, I'm basically destroying my chances at the first overall and would probably end up with the second overall. Barring a miracle. Of course, he's not sure he wants to let go of Dahlin, but for me, that's a deal breaker. If I'm not a getting a piece that I can actually build on for the future in this deal, I'm just better off trying to fight for the first overall pick in my league.
So what do you think? Is this a good trade for me? Am I asking too much/not enough? What do you think of Dahlin's offensive output in the future? I'm going to add his team here so you can evaluate other trade proposals I could make. As always, appreciate the help folks.
