Neal for Pearson+

No thanks. You'd have to be the one adding to that

Okay, here's my offer: Derek Stepan for John Carlson. If you accept I will still have to receive permission from my head GM, I'm just tossing something on the table.

That's a very good offer, but replacing Carlson would be hard for me, so I must unfortunately decline

Does a trade involving Faulk and Carlson interest you? Faulk is under contract for longer, so you could kinda avoid taking him to free agency

Is their anything NYR can add to sweeten the deal?

Yeah that interests me a bit, what'd you have in mind?

I'm not sure. If positions were out of the question, the value is there. It's a really good offer in terms of the players' value, but replacing Carlson would be difficult for me. I don't really want to counter your offer and insult you because your player evaluation is better than most of the GM's or AGM's. In terms of "sweetening" the deal, it'd have to be some sort of compensation for losing a really good player at a really hard position to find good players at

I'd add a little bit, but I need to know how far apart you see them being. Given how unlikely it is someone keeps a free agent in our game, I'm going to keep in mind the fact that Carlson only has one year left when making the offer

Carlson's definitely better but Faulk isn't too far behind. As for you adding, would you add Pettersson? I know I asked for the pick for Kylington and Andersson, and it was declined, but with Carlson being more valuable, I think it'd even out more. Would you want to build a deal around that?

We traded up to get Pettersson and gave a pretty penny to do so, so I won't move him. Might be willing to add someone like Woll

I'm not really interested in Woll. To downgrade from Carlson, I'm pretty set on Pettersson

Frolik or Perron for your 3rd line?

What do you mean for my 3rd line?

Needs:

3rd liner center and RW

I thought you meant for my whole 3rd line and I was like what lol.. Yes I like Perron

What would you be willing to trade for Perron?

Still just the 4th.. Maybe a 7th too.. I like Perron but I wouldn't want him for anything crazy since he's a FA next year and I probably can't afford him

have any prospects either wing or defense you'd be willing to trade? possibly bring them up for me?

I brought them up. I wouldn't be willing to add anyone serious

if I wanted Fabbro back Perron + a 3rd probably wouldn't cut it eh?

Edit: Josh Healey is another name I liked

Lol.. Fabbro would take a haul.. Healey would require a decent draft pick in return as well as Perron

Well, I like Fox, Andersson, Healey and Fabbro... if we can make something work where I send Perron your way (whether it be with extras or not) for 1 of those guys, I'd like to make a deal

Edit: Calling it a night... will check in to see what you reply with tomorrow

Sleep well buddy.. I'd probably want a couple picks for Healey along with Perron. I like my defensive prospects but I'd like to move a couple of them for future picks, so Healey for Perron+ a couple picks could work. I think the 2018 draft will be extremely good

what do you want for Haula?
