My advice would be unless you get what you WANT, don't make the deal. You have all the bargaining power here, since you have the best player. Forget about the enigmatic Ovechkin. Go for the win-win scenario:

Malkin + Grabovski + Havlat
for
Tavares + Couture + Perry

Thats a deal you win.

If he says no, then you still win since you own Malkin.

Tell him it makes no sense for you to trade arguably the best fantasy player out there unless you get an overpayment. Stick to your guns, don't settle for less...theres no rush.
