Well, I can't trade away any of my young defense, I'm actually trying to add to them. So, if you NEED a dman to be part of the trade, I will have to pass, unfortunately.

The asking price itself, is a little high for me, and this is why:

1. Lindholm for Tavares straight up would have been a better asking price for me, as top dmen are worth the same (if not more) than top forwards.
2. I can't justify trading away my best dman, that's under a very nice contract for 5 more years AND my two best prospects for any player that will be a UFA after next year.
3. Unlike some other UFA's next year, in order to retain Tavares, I will have to match the league max, as undoubtedly there will be a GM out there that will offer it to him.
4. He's a good player and can sometimes seem like he's unstoppable, but he's not even a point per game player over his 8 year career, and during that time has only surpassed 80 points twice.

I am still willing to negotiate if you are.</div></div>

Not trying to be mean but not trading a top 10 player in the league for Hampus Lindholm.</div></div>

You're also not reading what I said .. that I'm not trading any of my top young dmen.

Ugh .. nevermind .. there isn't enough Advil.

Lindholm, Jones, Steel +</div></div>
