    Default Trading Jones: need a forward

    Points only - team and league in sig
    Picked up Jones from the wire last week. No need for a second goalie right now. Just scooped him for the value.
    My strategy could work because a gm is interested, having only Bobrovsky.
    I need a forward. I'm targeting a forward I could dress in my top 9.
    With the injuries to Eberle and Stastny, my 7th-8th-9th F are Yakupov, Ehlers and Lucic.
    Here's a list of potential targets:
    Huberdeau (I doubt I could land him, but worths a try...)
    Tanguay
    Vanek
    Zuccarello
    Toffoli
    Perreault
    Wich ones would you want more (rank?)
    Is there any I shouln't include in trade talks?
    I will probably send him a list of players I would take and let him choose.
    Thanks!

    I think you should be able to get Huberdeau. Jones has been insane lately. I'd go for Huberdeau and if you couldn't get him, I'd go for Zucarrello

    I hope you're about Huberdeau...
    But he was one of his 6 keepers...

    Oh, maybe not then. He probably values him a lot if he kept him. I'd go after Zucarrello then

    Both Huberdeau and Zuccarello rejected.

    If I try a ranking with the 4 remaining...
    1. Tanguay (1st line/1st PP) or Perreault (2nd line/1st PP)?
    2. See 1.
    3. Toffoli (2nd line/2nd PP)
    4. Vanek (3rd line/2nd PP)

    Other (less attractive) options...
    Duclair, Kuznetzov, Hagelin, Silfverberg, Spooner

    Any thoughts?...

    I would keep Jones and when he continues to play awesome, and someone's goalie gets injured, you can trade him then.

    You could consider just holding onto Jones, and hope for another trading partner who gets into goalie trouble. It's bound to happen sooner or later.

    This guy may be operating from the standpoint that you have to deal Jones. Put the lie to that notion.

    EDIT: Damn, PH beat me to it. Oh well, great minds think alike!
