colorado and tampa make a trade

[snugerud]

colorado receives - chris kunitz (6m16/17)

Tampa receives - Nick Budjugstad 0.2) and vincent trochek (p)

i go against my typical fantasy hockey philosophy and continue to bulk on players from one team,,,, the pens.
it will probably come back to bite me in the playoffs with a weak schedule but  here is to trying

[Tubbs]

I approve.

I'm really on the fence here. I don't know if that is adequate payoff for a stud like Kunitz, though I may just be biased it makes Snug so much tougher to beat 

I want to hold off and see what others have to say.

[Rob]

I'm on the fence too.  Kunitz is a top 10 player in our league.  Trocheck was a beast in the OHL last year but seems to have come back down to earth in the American league.  I feel like there should be a 1st round pick going to Tampa with these two players.  You don't give up the 6th best player in our league for two relative unknowns.  Tubbs what's your thinking?

[snugerud]

I wont argue the merits but I will say I will be more than happy to hold onto the "unknown" Bjugstad  if you decide to veto.

Relative is the operative word!  I like Bjugstad... Just seeing 230 fantasy points go one way and 90 go the other makes me a little nervous.

I echo the other comments. I think another player or 1st rounder really needs to be in the deal to make this work. I am a big Bjugstad fan, but Trocheck is not a guarantee.

[snugerud]

Of course your nervous. Its the mightly AVS!!! I would be nervous too if I saw this coming at me.

Haha, well I don't play in your bloodbath division so my knees aren't quivering like some of your division foes might be

I also think a little more is needed Bjugstad is a solid spect and should have a solid career but Kunitz is on the top of his game playing with Crosby and really that won't change for the next few years either. Trocheck is a high risk high reward but value on him isn't high enough to make up the difference.
