Kings/Oilers Trade

[hockeyfreak47]

Sorry for the delay i had internet problem.

I knew this deal was at the veto range .

I made this deal mainly to add a 3rd starter to my team in Hiller even with Fasth stealing some starts Hiller is still the #1 as he started the 3 games in the playoffs + i get 2 great Dmen prostect and Steve downie who will help me with his dual position status RW/LW easy to put in the lineup.

I had to give big to get a goalie and Yakupov and RNH was the price to pay to get it.

p-s  :  for all of you that are thinking to veto this trade ask yourself this ... if Yakupov is not part of this deal would you approve it ? .... i know i would not approve it

Anthony has the deciding vote.  If he vetos and it's a tie, norrya will have the tiebreaking vote.

I am assuming other members can change their vote if they wish now that hockeyfreak has posted his acceptance as well right?

Yes, if they so desire.

I don't know if Anthony is going to vote

My vote stays the same.  My feelings of who wins or loses on this trade aside, it comes down to this is a deal between two knowledgeable hockey guys that have both been playing fantasy/dynasty leagues for a while and I wont step in the way of them running their team/strategy. 

I look at 3 criteria when considering a veto on a trade. 1) does it break the rules - no, 2) Is it a roster dump/buddy trade - no 3) Is there a lack of knowledge(general hockey knowledge/new gm that doesn't understand the league/Un-announced injury news) - No.

If my answer to all 3 are "no" than I am approved.

I emailed Anthony again.  If he doesn't respond by Wednesday at this time I'm going to replace him on the TC with norrya.

And if Ryan votes to cause a tie I will get another tiebreaker.

My vote also stays the same.  I'm not a huge fan of the deal, but having shopped for goaltending all season long this isn't that far from the kind of deal I would have had to make to bring one to my team.  It's less about balance than it is about the market.

Yakupov and RNH are just too much to pay for a goalie who lost starts this year to a younger goalie.  Even though those guys are proven completely yet, they both project to be top 20 fantasy players.

Thanks Ryan.  I will ask Bob to break the tie.
