                            2019?


                            I’ll look into it and get back with you tomorrow.

                            What are your thoughts on our potential Lehner deal?

                            Still talking to my assistant. If we can get something done for Claesson tonight that would be good but i'm willing to wait if you want me to.

                            We're still thinking about the Lehner deal. If you want you can take one of those deals i suggested in post #526.

                            Those are all terrible trades for me, and it’s terribly confusing to try and read as well.

                            Claesson
                            for
                            2020 3rd

                            Claesson
                            for
                            2019 4th

                            Claesson
                            for
                            2020 4th + 7th (or a prospect instead of the 7th)

                            Claesson + 5th
                            for
                            2018 3rd

                            Claesson + 6th
                            for
                            2019 3rd

                            In case it was hard to read what the deals were

                            In case it was hard to read what the deals were


                            I’m gonna pass on Claesson for now. Let me know about Lehner when you can

                            Waiting to hear from another team about Claesson. if they offer us a 2019 or 2018 4th we'd do it but if they don't you can have him for a 2020 4th if you want.

                            More importantly, let’s talk Lehner. I’d need to retain half on Lehner for this year in order to keep you guys under the cap.

                            There are some pieces that might be part of a Lehner deal but the problem is, there's another guy we want (a different position) that we might need to use those pieces to get. We're not too interested in giving up multiple picks for Lehner. We could include a pick but we don't want to give you 2/3 picks for him. What about Condon as part of the deal? Or Claesson, but the option is still available of a 4th in 2020 for him.

                            It’s not like I’m asking for a bunch of high picks. A 2019 2nd, and a 2018 4th basically have to be included. I don’t really care about Claesson anymore, and Condon doesn’t have any value to me.

                            We don't want to give up a 2019 2nd ... maybe a 2018 4th but we don't have a 2nd or a 5th this year so it just gets rid of another one of our 2018 picks.

                            Then offer something else. Stop making me play this guessing game and make an offer

                            This offer you and you AGM are talking about, please don’t bother with such a low-ball offer. I already told you Condon doesn’t interest me, and I’m sure as hell not adding onto him.

                            We're gonna start here, not sure if you think this is too low or not:

                            Lehner 50% retained, 4th
                            for
                            Chlapik, Jaros, and Condon

                            If you don't like it you can suggest something different.

                            We'll discuss this. We don't want to take extra cap, that's why we're talking about including Condon.

                            Then either add something coming to me or try and trade Condon elsewhere, but I’m not just going to take him

                            Either way, that's still too high of a price you're asking for. We're talking about a counter offer.

                            If you guys think that either Wolanin or Chlapik are “top prospects” there’s something wrong. I’ll make a follow up offer.
