If you're gonna move a guy like Thornton or Heater, you should at least try and get an elite goalie out of it somehow, since you said that's the position that's hurting you.
In a league that activates 1 goalie, I wouldn't sweat it too much, but would keep trying to get a better goalie somehow where you don't overpay. I can see how your goalies are killing you, as you have goalies from average team (MIN) or worse (EDM, TOR), but don't get overly frustrated, as Backstrom isn't too bad an option in a league like yours.
Good luck, and maybe avoid this GM if you're going to make a deal, sounds like this guy wants a massive overpay.
Cheers.
MolsonX said it perfectly, he's trying to rip you off bad. for heatley and ehrhoff, I'd want Ryan, Palmieri, and a goalie...
