I thought I would present this trade proposal to everyone to see what they think. In one of my public leagues on Yahoo I was offered the following trade.I would get:LW- Brendan ShanahanLW- Gary RobertsG- Manny LegaceHe would getLW- Simon GagneLW- Sergei SamsonnovG- Roberto LuongoNow getting rid of Luongo will not hurt me since I currently have Brodeur on my roster, but I wanted to open this one up to debate.

Bad trade. LW- Brendan Shanahan - 53 points, 36 years oldLW- Gary Roberts - 48 points, 39 years oldG- Manny Legace - 23 wins, 2.12 GAA, .920SV%He would getLW- Simon Gagne - 45 points, 25 years oldLW- Sergei Samsonnov - 40 points, 27 years oldG- Roberto Luongo - 25 wins, 2.43 GAA, .931SV%I don't think Shanahan and will score as many points. The wings are weaker and he is getting old. Roberts is getting old too and may just be a role player but might get good ice time in Florida. Legace might not play as much with Osgoode back and he will be affected by a weaker Detroit team. Gagne is young and is on a very good team. Should put up better numbers and Samsonnov can out up 70+ points if he stays healthy. Luongo will play lots and put up better numbers now that the team is stronger. Its good to have 2 solid goalies because there is something like 4 spots to gain points at at the goalie position so this could be a huge deciding factor on how well your team does this year.

terrible trade don't do it, Gagne will have a great year with Forsberg this year, plus the incentive of playing well early to make the Olympic team. Samsonov has a 1 year deal too, so he's looking to step it up and the Bruins have a center to play with him as well.Save Luango and trade him alone for someone else later if you already have Brodeur

Horrible trade dude...

[aadams_22]

I was planning on rejecting the trade anyway and it appears that's what I am going to do, but I just wanted to get some extra input...thanks everyone.

You should be able to get primo value out of Luongo since you have Brodeur. In that trade, you had the best TWO players in Gagne and Luongo. You do realize Gagne will play with one Peter Forsberg? I also have Gagne in my pool, I drafted him in our minor league entry draft when he was 18. The new rules will help him more than guys like Roberts or Shanahan. I'd book Gagne against either or those players in a heartbeat.

Hey Daniel, don't know if you received either of my PM's, but we're holding a spot for you in the FCP Fantasy Hockey League if you're interested. Let me know and I'll send a login.

I knew he was going to be paired with Forsberg that was the main reason that I didn't want to get rid of him, and in the long run I am pretty sure I'll be happy that I have held onto him. I will see what I can get for Luongo. Thanks Daniel.

Don't trade Luongo. If him and Brodeur do well this season then you can dominate the goalie stats which give 1/3 of the total points and can be all the difference.

[digitalmonkey]

I would like to see what stats are being counted in your pool, but assuming it is the usual...GA+/-PIMWGAASA%SO....sort of thing, I think this would be a brutal trade for you to make.Gagne should be more productive than Shanahan with the exception of penalty minutes and Samsonov should put up decent numbers in his search for a better contract while Roberts is with Florida and his +/- will show it!If your league uses two goalies, I wouldn't mess with Luongo and Brodeur. How you ended up with both guys is beyond me.Bottom line - DON'T MAKE THE TRADE!
