Buchnevich or Nichushkin Dynasty

[JFulfy]

In a former forum, I was encouraged to offer Keller straight up for Josi. Seeing if I could potentially get more out of the guy, he's shown interest in Nichushkin.

Current overall offer is:
Keller, Chabot, Nichushkin for Ovehckin, Josi, Sharangovich

I'm on the fence with Nich with his drug issues, and with Lehkonen and Landy coming back, however with Nich playing ~24min a night for a good few weeks there, clearly he's loved by the coach and plays all the time.

I'm in win mode now, but I don't love the deal above, with me really only getting Ovie for a year with his rapid decline, and I don't like Sharangovich.

Curious on the up front value of Nich and Buch, which one you like more, and if the above deal swapping Sharangovich with Buch would be a good deal for me.

***Note: there is possiblity of also swapping Sharangovich with E Kane. So if anyone wants to comment on E Kane or Buch, happy to hear that, but I think Buch is more valuable imo.

you've answered the question yourself, you don't like the return so why would you trade just for the sake of trading. You don't offload your assets unless you love what you get back.

I don't think you understand my dilemma. I'm in need of a Dman because I'm having to bench some stud forwards like Keller on On-Nights when most of my team plays. My D is struggling, so Keller for Josi looks like a good deal on face value. In an attempt to maybe get a bit more, and not do a forward fir Dman trade where I would have too many D, trying to see if I can move Chabot for a forward. These were some ideas thrown out there and looking for a discussion on player value, or if I'm wrong in my value assessment.
