Another GM wants Benn and wants to get rid of Ovechkin.

The trade is: My Benn, Doughty and my 1st round pick next year, for his Ovechkin, Yandle and 4th round pick next year.

The only thing I am hesistant about is with Benn and his value in multi-cat and his possible upside 2-3 years from now. Also giving up the first round pick, but that's the cost. Does Benn's youth and upside outweigh Ovechkin's possible decline?

Is this a no-brainer? My keepers would be Malkin, Backstrom, OV, Karlsson, Rinne. Not too shabby.

Appreciate any replies

I wouldn't do it. I think Benn's back soon and will out value OV. The fact you have to toss in Doughty, who I think has a big bounce back and your 1st = too much.

Good Luck!

am i missing something

he wants your player and he no longer wants his player and he gets to dictate the terms of the deal

No dictating..right now this is the offer, but it can easily change.

It's a back and forth negotiation. I will take advantage of any leverage.

the leverage should be yours

he wants to dump ovechkin he wants to acquire benn

sounds like you have all the leverage to me

make the deal that ovechkin for benn

Sure that's a given, but he isn't an idiot. He is going to ask for what he thinks is fair value regardless.

When ur league dosn't count hits, thats too much for Ovie. I've been trying to get Benn with no luck, he carries alot of value in my mind.
