I don't agree with rules like that. I would make an analogy with pending UFA in the NHL. Let's say (hypothetically) that a team has to re-sign during the summer Crosby, Ovechkin, Karlsson, Quick and Seguin. This same team knows that they won't be able to sign all of them, then they will probably try to trade one of their UFA to another team in exchange for compensation.

Pretty much the same thing as trading a keeper for a draft pick, IMO.

rules bickering aside (on that note, i like these trades since active owners should get a benefit)....

Shoot for what you can get. I think a Fleury and seguin for luongo, hossa and a 2nd is letting him off really lightly. Luongo is getting older, and honestly at this point i would much rather own fleury. hossa is past his prime and i have a hard time projecting over a ppg every again for him. Seguin still has elite upside and is really young.

I would think of it as how i would draft them (assuming standard 12 team roto):
Fleury- 2nd or 3rd rounder, solid #1 goalie, but there are a few i would rather have
seguin- 3rd rounder, very good winger now with elite upside
luongo- 5th rounder, question marks all over the place, and getting older
hossa- 6th round, just has not been elite in a few years, but still good

Since you are trading down so much, i would be targeting like a 2nd and 4th, or maybe even a first rounder.

I look at it like this, I do my homework for months before the draft and usually draft well. I make trades to upgrade players and sometimes overpay at the time depending on what I want. I spend all summer here and several other sites gathering information for the off-season and upcoming seasons in order to make better decisions on a players worth and usually compete for top honors each year. I put my time in to build a nice collection of players, some of which are top keeper quality but with a keep 4 someone has to go. So if I put all that time in to get player X or Y why shouldn't I try to get something for him before I have to throw him back? There are no rules that say a owner needs to shut things down after the cup is raised. Plus, and this is the big one, it keeps me interested in the sport and fantasy hockey year round.
