If I read all the posts and your replies to them, you have already made up your mind and want to make the deal.

Go make the trade and hope for next year.

Ya, I definitely want to make the deal. Just trying to make sure it's the right move. The thing is, if I wasn't in contention, wouldn't this trade be a no-brainer?

This is another thing. I've been very lucky with injuries so far this year, but if I get even one long-term injury to any one of my top 12 forards or 6 d-men, I'm pretty much done because I don't have the depth to replace the lost points.

What's on the line? Money? Pride? A bit of both.

My league has $1500 in prizes to the top teams, so I could understand the reason for the delay. If it's just bragging rights....you'd better get it done before the other owner opts out. Even if it is a big payday, you should be reaping the rewards of this deal for years to come.....

Just made the deal...kind of bittersweet...I'm happy with my decision though, so...what else can you ask for really?

Bumchilly, I guess a bit of both were on the line. Not so much the money because it's a $400 prize which is good, but not $1500 obviously. Probably more pride now that I think about it because I would have loved to have that sweet trophy in my family room again this year, but it's not going to happen now. Oh well, here's to many championships in the future!

Thanks for all the input, gents.

You made the right call. Hoist the trophy in the family room next year.....and the year after...and...you get the picture

Karlsson is going to come back and win the pool for you by himself next year.
