So I have been trying to get both Radulov and Pronger (or McCabe or Boyle) from another GM in my league for some time now.... today he offers me both of them for Malkin.

Keeper league, 1 point per goal and assist... simple question - would you do it? If so, which d-man do you take?

I know Dobber\'s golden rule is that you should trade anyone you have to in order to get Sid, Ovechkin or Malkin... but what is a fair return if you consider going the other way?

Don\'t do it.
Malkin will get more points than these two combined.

Dear God, No.

Malkin should be an untouchable on any line-up. while Radulov is certainly a talent and will be into the future he would be easier to replavce through draft or another trade than Malkin.

I just traded....

Emery and 3rd round pick

For

Radulov and Briere and 5th round pick

A golden rule in any trade is, short of an overpayment, to get the best player in the package. I like Radulov a lot but he\'s not on par with Malkin.

For a keeper league there\'s Crosby followed by Ovechkin/Malkin IMO.

Keep Malkin

sorry, double post

To me that is vetoable trade, lol. That guy who traded Emery just kissed the pool goodbye for a while. He must not know a lot or is a Sens fan (either way obviously not smart at all). . . .

and no way would I trade Malkin unless you hear Ovechkin and Crosby.

That is an unbelievable trade superdidi... especially with the news that Emery is going to miss camp, which always seems to hurt players over the course of the season. Nice work.

Thanks for the dose of reality guys, thats why i posted here before replying to the email. Just got caught up in the fact they were 2 guys i\'ve been chasing for a while... both in 1 deal.

Glad to have Dobber\'s forum to save me some dumb moves

What may actually make Malkin more valuable, if you\'re in a Yahoo league, is I notice they classify Malkin as a LW. As we all know, great wingers are scarce compared to centres, so to me that makes him all the more untouchable.
