Hey folks,

I know there was a lot of varying opinions about my Ovechkin trade a few weeks ago. Loved and appreciated the discussion. Now I have another potential offer out there.

Spoke to a GM and I don't think he plans on keeping Neal. I he's wondering who his third keeper will be (Karlsson, Hall...) so I offered the idea of giving him Lundqvist.

I think Neal and a first is more than fair. I also think it's fair to say he'll hit 40 goals again this year, including a number on the PP and a ton of SOG; not to mention a healthy +/-. His first, however, is 9/10 I believe. Even still.. that'll give me 3 firsts in the draft and I'll be set to take on the entire league.

He may also look to throw away Getzlaf, Gaborik, or Thornton. I still think Neal is a better bet.

Stats are in the signature.

Thoughts?

How many goalies are you carrying other than Lundy? Don't see it in your sig.
Goalie cats seem to count for quite a bit there. Is it a low 1st rd entry pick?

Can't decide until I know a little more.

It's a limited keeper. Keep 3. My keepers are Crosby, Giroux, and Lundqvist.

how many teams? i'd think there must be a lot of goalies available if you're thinking of dealing lundqvist. 5 goalie cats, most might argue hanging on to him but if you're getting an extra 1st rounder and can draft another good goalie i might consider it.

Same. If you have a chance to nab Quick or Rinne or to a lesser extent a Price, I don't see the need to do this. Lundy is a sure thing. You have a nice top 3 as it stands now.

Both Rinne and Price are kept. Some of the goalies available are Rask, Luongo, Fleury, one of Bryz or Howard, Halak, Elliot, Neimi, Reimer, Anderson, Varly...

Do like the other GMs and keep your all-star goalie.

Unless Quick is out there and can be had with a low pick.

What are the best LW you expect to be available in the draft?

All I've got...all I've got is insane!

I would keep Lundqvist, he's the best right now and it looks like it will remain the same for the foreseeable future. Neal is a nice piece, and the first pick might be interesting, but in a limited keeper league, I'd rather consolidate and preserve my top talents than get more quantity.

Crosby - Giroux - Lundqvist is extremely solid.
