Definitely the right call.
I traded fabbro and rubtsov to get backstrom. Im not competing this year but seemed just too low price for a 30yo stud like backstrom. I know fabbro is doing really good atm at college but was it the right call?

Great deal for you, low cost indeed. Since your a ways from competing I'd probably try to flip him for a good package. Maybe a legit starting goalie like Freddy Andersen.

Thats dirt cheap for Backstrom so nice move pulling the trigger. Considering your team I do agree that you should look at flipping him to a contender for a better return than your original pieces.

Thanks! Yeah totally gonna try to flip him during trade deadline. One possibility would already be Granlund. He is not as good as backstrom but he is 5 years younger..
Ehhhhhh, I'd keep Backstrom over Granlund myself to be honest.
I see you're in a deep league with deep rosters, I would think Backstrom would give a major boost to some contender and get a great haul. Don't know if your leagues GMs are squeamish about making those moves but someone should pay up.

Great trade....way to low of a price.
You can't flip Backstrom this year, or you shouldn't anyways.
Consider it a write off year.
Sit on him until he does what Backstrom does and then flip him when he's racking up points.
Awesome trade for you.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
That's a great trade. Fabbro is more of a two-way defenseman and I don't see him becoming a great fantasy option, and Rubtsov doesn't project to become more than a 3rd liner at this point.
Thanks everyone! Repped where i could!
