You're giving up the best player and the best defenceman. I don't like it.
GM in my league wants Monahan and Dumba, this was his offer:
Kyle Turris, Jonathan Marchessault, and Travis Hamonic for Monahan Dumba and Cliff Pu
I like Turris and Marchessault but I like Monahan and Dumba more plus Hamonic is having a pretty crappy season so it's a no for me.
Here are a few of the players that he has that I have interest in: RyJo, Matthews, Turris, Marchessault, Mantha, O'Reilly, Buchnevich, J Gauthier, Shinkaruk, Sprong, and Korpisalo.
Should I make a counter or just leave it as is? What combo should I offer if I do decide to counter?

RyJo, Mantha, Hamonic & Buchnevich would be my counter if that is the desired route.

you would lose the duo... however you'd also lose prolonged stretches of two players not producing (see 1st half of this season). You give up a 30g 60+pt forward, but you get back a 50& 2 60+ forwards. Buchnevich, I have found is often an afterthought prospect that ownersdon’t mind tossing in. Even with his significant upside. It hasn’t beenrealized in his 1st season so it’s a beautiful opportunity to buylow on him. It’s been mentioned on these boards (by others) that he could leadthe Rangers in scoring as early as next year. In your set up, Hamonic does provide someperipheral value.

It's tough to get people to up their offer that much, so I don't see him being close to interested in parting with Johansen to make it work.
If it works for you then go for it, but I don't have much faith in it working out.

Solid points LucaFen! I didn't really think about Buchnevich being that big of a player but maybe he won't mind making the move. I think it'll be hard to come by getting RyJo but he's accepted low end offers before so who knows. If it works out, then that'd be great but time will tell.

He declined saying that it would set him too far back during his rebuild (he’s currently 2nd to last in his conference).
Now he is asking the price for just Dumba so I am asking for Buchnevich+ for Dumba, see what he thinks on that. Keeps trying to push Turris and Hamonic on me for Dumba and Pu, and I don’t have an interest in that

What about Turris and Buchnevich for Dumba and Pu?
